Coal Miners Insist on Strike and
Big Contest With the Gov
ernment Begins.
DRASTIC MEASURES ADOPTED
War-Tlme Priority List Is Reestab
lished for the Distribution of Fuel
International Labor Confer
ence Opens Congress Over
rides President's Veto of
Dry Enforcement Act.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The great struggle Is on. The Uni
ted Stntes of America versus the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America. A na
tion of one hundred and ten millions
against a labor union of perhaps half
a million.
Boldly defying the federal govern
ment ns represented by the president
nnd his cabinet and the governments
of many states ns represented by their
governors, the lenders of the union de
creed thnt the strike of bituminous
coal miners should go Into effect nt
.midnight Friday. Regardless of the
fact that the strike would cripple the
entire country nnd that the resultant
suffering would be felt most by their
fellow workers, they refused to do
anything to head It off, fnlllng back on
their oft-repeated statements of Its
Justice and on the assertion that, as It
Was ordered by u general convention
of the United Mine Workers, no repre
sentatives of the organization have
authority to set such action aside.
Immediately nfter the conference of
leaders of the miners had Issued Its
statement the government began to
mobilize its forces to make good the
promise of President Wilson that the
mines should be operated. The cabi
net met In special session and definite
plnns of action were discussed and
adopted. Meanwhile Dr. Harry Oar
field, federal fuel administrator, had
been summoned to Washington nnd
Bteps were taken to revive the fuel ad
ministration to prevent hoarding nnd
profiteering. Attorney Oeneral Palmer
Issued n long statement In which he
made It plain thnt the strike was il
legal and thnt the government had
both the right nnd the power to crush
It, "without Infringing on the recog
nized right of men In any lino of In
dustry to work when they please and
quit work when they plensc."
The plans of the federal ofllclals, it
was said, Include prosecution for
conspiracy of those guilty of causing
the strike; armed protection for those
miners who are willing to continue at
work, nnd allocation and distribution
of conl to railroads, essential Industries
and homes. Orders for proper dispo
sition of troops went out from the wnr
department; In some of the coal min
ing states the National Guard was
mobilized and In various communities
steps were taken for the formation of
citizens' committees to aid the author
ities. The first thing done by the govern
ment was an order from Director Gen
eral Hlncs to the railroads to confis
cate all conl In transit, If necessary, to
operate the roads and build up n re
serve. Then Mie attorney general an
nounced that tho fuel administrator
'would take control of the handling of
,the coal nnd would use his nuthorlty
under the Lever net to meet the situ
atloc. In the distribution of conl the
wartime priority list of tho fuel nil
Iwlnlstrntlon is to be followed. This Is
,as follows:
1. Steam railroads; inlnnd nnd
coastwise vessels.
2. Domestic, Including hotels, hos
pitals and asylums,
8. Navy and army.
1. Public utilities, Including plants
and such portions of plants as supply
light, heat und water for public use.
0, Producers nnd manufacturers of
food, Including refrigeration.
0. National, state, county and mu
nicipal emergency requirements.
7, Bunkers and other mnrlno eraer-
gcney requirements not specified
above.
8. Producers of newsprint pnpor
nnd plants necessary to the printing
and publication of dally newspapers.
Another plan of the government was
to obtain from Federal Judge Ander
son nt Indianapolis a sweeping Injunc
tion against the miners' organization
and 88 national and local officers, for
bidding the "encouraging of the strike
by word of mouth, book or pamphlet"
nnd prohibiting the use of the organi
zation's funds for the promotion of
the strike. Vlolntors of the Injunction
would be punished for contempt of
court.
The mine operators promised the
government their unreserved co-oper-atlon
In its efforts to keep the mines
open. Confidential reports from gov
ernment agents had led to the belief
tnut n large number of the union
miners would not strike nnd, In addi
tion, It was estimated that the non
union mines could be counted on to
turn out a considerable quantity of
coal. Their nnnunl production is about
ISO.000,000 tons out of n total of COO,
0(X),0(X) tons. At the best, however,
the production will be tremendously
tiecreuseti anu ir tno strike Is pro
longed consumption must be reduced
accordingly. In this process naturally
the 'unessential Industries will be the
worst sufferers and It Is easy to pre
dict thnCmnny thousands of them will
be closed down and vnst numbers of
men and women thrown out of em
ployment. President Lewis of the miners laid
the blame for the situntlon on the
mine operators and severely criticized
President Wilson who, ho a!d, had
prejudged the ease with only n partlnl
and Innccurato knowledge of the
facts. The union ofllclals, while as
serting' they could not now .stop the
strike, left open one possible door by
saying they were ready and anxious to
meet the operators for the purpose of
negotiating an agreement and bringing
about a settlement.
Later It was said the ofllclals were
ready to abandon the demand for n
six hour day and five day week and to
modify the demand, for n GO per cent
Increase In wages, if the operators
would curtail If not abandon Saturday
work and agree to a "moderate" wage
Increase. At Indlnnnpolls It was as
serted the extreme demands were put
forward to satisfy a large radical ele
ment thnt threatened to revolt against
the Lewis regime.
The International labor conference
provided for by tho pence treaty has
assembled at Washington; but. owing
to the treaty situation, It Is In doubt
ns to Its own status. Secretary of
Labor Wilson called It to order nnd
welcomed It to the United States, but
this country's official connection with
It enme to an end there. For the pres
ent tho conference was considered "In
process of organization," nnd thus Mr.
Wilson and other Americans were en
abled1 to sit with the delegates from
other lands. The conference nsked
the Federation of Labor and tho Uni
ted Stntes Chamber of Commerco to
name delegates, and this was done.
Thirty-one foreign countries were rej
resented by 83 delegates when the ses
sions opened. The representatives
from Germany nnd Austria were due
to arrive November 3 und the organ
izing committee recommended that
they bo given early participation.
Tho International congress of work
ing women also opened In Washington
with 40 delcgntcs present nnd Mrs.
Raymond Robins presiding. The wom
en made It 'plain nt the outset thnt
they were not seeking nny special
privileges for their sex In Industry, but
that they demnnd full share In any
plans for their protection that men
may consider.
An Interesting Interlude nt Wash
ington was provided by the visit of
tho king and queen of the Belgians.
Albeit was given an enthusiastic wel
como by congress, nnd In addresses
before both the senate nnd the house
guvo formnl expression of the grati
tude of his country to America. Tho
royal couple called Informally nt the
Whlto House.
Before leaving tho United States
King Albert took occasion to make a
pllgrlmngo to the tomb of Theodore
Roosevelt and to lay upon It a beuutl-
fill wreath. It was n fitting Incident
of Koosevelt week, during which hun
dreds of thoiiMinds of dollars were
contributed by admirers of the great
American for the purpose of establish
lug memorials to him.
President Wilson stirred up ft
mighty hullnhaloo by his veto of the
iry enforcement net on the ground
that the emergency which called for
wartime prohibition had passed and
that the law should be repealed. For
n few hours the wets were jubilant,
believing that John Barleycorn had
been given n lense of life until consti
tutional prohibition goes Into effect In
Janunry. Hut the drys quickly got
Into action and forced Immediate ac
tion In the house, with the result that
the veto was overridden by n vote of
170 to 55. A Inrire number of mem
bers were absent, but postponement !
for this reason was refused and, In- '
deed, If the full membership had been '
present the result doubtless would !
have been the same. Next day the .
senate also passed the bill over tho
president's veto, the vote being 05 to
20.
The net became effective nt once
nnd the country became bone dry
until tho treaty with Germany Is rati
fied. As soon ns thnt action Is taken
by the sennte, according to a stntej
ment from the White House, the pres
ident will lift the bnn. This aroused
both the Anti-Saloon lengue nnd the
more rabid opponents of the trenty.
Tho lenders of the former declared
they would maintain tho contention
thnt the bnn could not be removed un
Ml the trenty with Austria and Hun
gary had been ratified. The latter at
tacked tho motives of the provident
and snld he had delayed lifting the
ban to force tho senate to ratify the
treaty. Tho liquor men found some
consolation In a decision by a federal
Judge at Louisville that the wartime.
law Is Invalid and thnt the government
could not seize liquor In storage with- J
out paying for It. But the revenue
agents went right ahead scaling up nil
the stocks of liquor they could find
und they found most of them.
No one on cither side of tho trenty
fight In the senate would admtt that
the promise of n wet spell In the least
affected tho contest, but there wns evi
dent n disposition to get through with
tho matter speedily. The rejection of
all amendments clenred the way for
tho consideration of the reservations,
nnd It wns predicted that the same
conservative Republicans who voted
with the Democrats against tho
amendments would compel the adop
tion of milder reservations than those
reported by the committee on foreign
relations. It will then be up to the
administration supporters to accept
these or stand responsible for the com
plete failure to ratify the trenty.
The re-enforced red army defending
Petrograd succeeded, by desperate
fighting, In recapturing several towns
and in forcing hack the whlto army,
but Into reports from General Yurien
Itch are to the effect that he Is recov
ering the lost ground and thnt the of
fensive Is proceeding satisfactorily
again. Finland announces thnt it In
giving Yudenltch nld In tho way of
tanks and ammunition, hut ennnot
send u regular expedition unless prom
ised certain compensating advantages.
General Denlkine's advance on Mos
cow also wns checked by the bol
shevlkl and, If wireless dispatches
from Moscow are to be believed, there
has been n serious revolt ngalast him
In the Ukraine. Large bodies of the
troops of Petlura nnd Mnkhno nre
Joining the reds nnd n number of Im
portant towns havo fallen Into tho
bands of the rebels. From the snme
source conies the story of nnother up
rising ngalnst Denlklne in the Caspian
region thnt cuts off his oil supply. It
Is well to accept nil stories from Mos
cow with reservation.
Possibly In response to the wnll of
tho Letts thnt the allies hnvo not been
giving them sufficient help In their
fight ngalnst the Germans nt Rlgn, the
allied fleet In the Gulf of Riga has
been re-enforced by some large war
ships and the positions of the Germans
uro under continuous bombardment.

HtJNIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Th
Klory of Josus Christ.
While It Is true that In this lesson
the disciples are witnesses of Christ'
glory, the full truth Is that the mniil
lestutlou of Christ In glory was to give
lo the discouraged disciples u fore
gleam of the Messianic Kingdom. The
hopes of the dfsclples were crushed
when Christ announced Ills death on
tho cross. They were unable to see
how victory could Issue from death.
Jesus took with trim Peter, James,
nnd John, und went into the mountain
to pray. Ills chief aim In retirement
was to get the disciples apart Into a
state of receptivity so that he might
show them the method of the Kingdom.
Before going to the mountain be de
clared that there were some standing
In his presence who would not tnsto
of death till they should see the Son
of Man coming In Iris Kingdom (Luke
0:27; Matt. 10:28). Thut their dropp
ing spirits might be revived nnd their
confidence restored, he Is transfigured
before them. Two men from the upper
world nre sent to converse with him
about Iris approaching death In Jerus
alem (v. 31) the very tiring ubout
which the disciples refused to talk.
Then, too, (Sod's own voice wns heard
In words of approval of Christ's course,
directing them to benr the Master.
Surely they cannot doubt Iris nbHlty
now ti carry Into execution bis king
dom plans. The purpose, then, of the
transfiguration s to give tho ril-ciples
u foregleam of the coming Kingdom,
to enable them to see the Kingdom in
embryo. That this Is true is not only
shown by the context and circumstanc
es, but by the Inspired Interpretation
of one who was with him und knew
all that happened. Peter said. "For
wo did not follow cunningly devised
fables when we made known unto you
the power nnd coming of our Lord
Jesus Christ, but we were eye witness
es of Iris majesty, for he received o
(Sod the Father, honor nnd glory when
there came such n voice to him from
the excellent glory. This Is my belov
ed Son In whom I tun well pleased:
and this voice we ourselves heard como
out of heaven, when we were with him
In the holy mount. And we have the
word of prophecy made more sure:
w hereunto ye do well that ye take heed,
as unto u lamp shining In a dark place,
until tho day dawn, and tho day-star
arise In your hearts (2 Peter 1:10-10
R. V.). To those who believe In tbo
inspiration of the Bible these words
nre final. Let us therefore note the
outstanding features of the Kingdom
ns displayed In the transfiguration.
I. Jesus Christ the Glorified King
on Mount Zlon (v. 20).
The glorified King on this Mount
was intended to symbolize the Messi
anic Kingdom when Christ returns to
the Mount of Olives In Jerusulem
(Zech. 11H-17). This Is still In the
fultiie, und will be literally fulfilled.
II. The Glorified Saints With Christ
(vv. 30. 31).
1. Moses, who was once denied nn en
trance Into Palestine, appears now In
glory, representing the redeemed of
the Lord who will pass through death
into the Kingdom. Many thousands of
the redeemed have fallen asleep and at
the coming of the Lord shall be awak
ened to puss Into the Kingdom.
2. Klljnh, now glorified, represents
the redeemed who shall pass Into the
Kingdom through translation. Many
s'hall be living upon the earth when the
Lord shnll come, and shall without jly
Ing be chnnged and thus pass into tlio
Kingdom (1 Cr. 15:50-53; 1 Thess. 4:-14-18).
3. They talk of tho very tiring which
the disciples refused to believe, name
ly, the death of Christ.
III. Israel, In the Flesh, In Connec
tion With the Kingdom, Represented
by Peter, James and John (v. 28).
Israel shall be called from their hiding
place among nil nntinns of the enrth
and shall he gathered to Jesus Christ
the King, as the central people In the
Kingdom (Ez. 37:21-27).
1. Peter proposes to build three tab
ernacles (v. 33). Tho Feast of Tuber
nacles looked forward to tho glorious
reign of Christ. Peter caught a
glimpse of the significance of the trans
figuration. Ills proposition showed
that he thought of the Feast of Taber
nacles, and therefore of tho Millenium.
2. The divine voice (v. 35). At this
tlme'God himself uttered his words, as
suring them that this ono In glory was
his son Jesus Christ.
IV. The Multitude at the Foot of the
Mountain (vv. 37-13).
This Is representative of tho nations
which shall ho brought Into the King
dom which shall be established over
Israel (seo Isaiah 11:10-12). The peo
ple hero were grievously oppressed by
tho devil. Thero ore times when the
devil Is especially actlvo in his op
pression of men. About tho tlmo of
Christ's first coming liu did his best
to harass men. Just beforo Christ's
coming again ho will be especially uc
tlve, for he knows thnt his tlnio Is
short.
