"It Is not true, as Mr. Compels states, that for the past several years the miners have averaged only ICO to 180 working days n year. "It Is a fact, however nnd Mr. Oompcrs could easily have ascertained It that virtually every bituminous mine In the country has on Its pay roll a substantial number of men who deliberately lay off from one to three days n week when they hnve nn op portunity to work." Operators Declare He Hat Misrepre sented the Facts People's AMI tude Toward Radical Labor Leadership Shown In Mas sachusetts Election. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Firmly refusing to be put In the po rtion of compounding a felony, the federal government has rejected the proposition of the union labor leaders that It abandon the legal proceedings against the coal strike as a prelimi nary to negotiations for peace. on Saturday Assistant Attorney General Ames asked Federal Judge Anderson at Indianapolis to make per manent the restraining order, thus es tablishing the Illegality of the strike. If this Is done, according to the lead era of the miners, the strike will be of long duration because the men "will resist to the last any attempt nt wrongful compulsion." In most of the bituminous fields there was little change In the status, though operators In Colorado nnd West Virginia reported gains In pro duction. In several states the shortage of coal began to make Itself felt nnd there wore appeals for the release of coal confiscated by tho railroads; a number of trains were cancelled to save fuel; In some places the schools were closed for short periods. President Wilson gave to Fuel Ad ministrator Garfield full authority over prices, distribution nnd shipment of all fuel. Doctor Garfield delegated to tho railroad administration his au thority over distribution. Such broadly was the coal strike Ituntlon nt the time of writing. There was little Blgn of yielding on either Bide. The operators of Illinois were of the opinion that the strike would last two weeks longer and that then public opinion nnd the government would compel the miners to call It off nnd accept arbitration, In which case the operators would agree to the flve-day week, If assured of adequate supply of cars, nnd would grant nn Increase of wages. Samuel Gompers. who with W. S. Stone, bend of the locomotive engi neers, bns been working to bring nbout a compromise, made tho appeal for vacation of the Injunction against the etrlke. nnd Issued n statement de signed to Justify the demnnds mnde by the strikers nnd accusing the np erntors of much wrongdoing nnd un fairness. The lntter retorted with n statement saying that Mr. Gompers' pronouncement was full of misrepre sentations, continuing: "It Is not true that the operators' representatives walked out of Secre tary Wilson's conference, leaving Mr. Lewis with no alternative but to call strike. The operators' representa tives accepted President Wilson's pro posal In, Its entirety and withdrew from the conference In order that their presence might not embnrrass Secretary Wilson In his effort to per unde Oie miners to tnke the honorable course thus opened to them. "It the time of their withdrawal, th operators advised Secretary Wll- am thnt they would remain In'wnsh. ttgton, awaiting his cnll to further inference. "It Ir not true, ns Mr. Gompers Im plies, thnt the miners nre not permit ,tefl by the operators to work full time. The operators hnvo no control over the demnnd for coal. They can merely stnnd ready to produce nnd furnish It when the public requires nnd Is willing to nccept It. "It Is not true thnt the miners re ceived nn advance of 20 cents a ton In 1014. "It Is, not true thnt tho operators Samuel Gompers nnd his conserva tive associates among tho lenders of the Amerlcnn Federation of Labor de serve commendation for their efforts to keep tho radicals and nnnrchlsts from gaining control over orgnnlzed labor In this country, but they nre not doing their cnuse or themselves nny good by giving their full support to such movements as the conl strike, the steel strike nnd the strike of Uos ton policemen. Public sympnthy Is be ing rapidly nllennted by some of the methods adopted by union labor, and In America public sympnthy Is abso lutely necessary to success In such mntters. That the people really are waking np to the perils of the situation was fully demonstrated In the Massachu setts election. Governor Coolldge, who nnu tnjten a firm stnnd ngnlnst the striking policemen and had In sisted on the mnintennnce of Inw and order, was up for re-election nnd was opposed by Rlchnnl II. Long. The lat ter, running on tho Democratic ticket, had promised to reinstate the police men If elected, nnd the contest renlly centered In tho strike. The result, of course, everyone knows Coolldge was returned by nn overwhelming major ity nnd the radicals, who hnd gnth ered their forces to the support of Long were crushed. Of the other elections of the week me mosr interesting was In Kentucky, where R. P. .Morrow. Republican, de fented Governor Ulnck by n large plu rality and the stnte-wldo prohibition amendment won. In New Jersey E. I. Edwards, Democrat, who ran on n wet plntform. wns elected governor; nnd Ohio voted wet on all four of the liquor propositions presented, accord ing to Incomplete returns. Maryland nnd Mississippi were cnrrled by tho Democrats. In Now York city Tnm mnny sustained a terrific defent, los ing ten nldermcn nnd eighteen assem blyman besides various other offices. The Oyster Pay district sent Lieut. ioi. uncociore Roosevelt to tho ns sembly with n whopping big vote. President Wilson wnrmly congratu lated Governor Coolldge on his vic tory over the forces of misrule, ns do nil good citizens regnrdless of party. The Republican lenders nlso rejoiced because they looked on the results In the Pay state nnd In Kentucky ns n forecast of the results In the next presidential election. Democrats were elated over Now Jersey, and tho wets derived much comfort over the vote In thnt state and In Ohio. mnny nnd such nations ns have rati fied tho pact will take place. Ger many has not yet fulfilled a number of tho provisions of the nrmlstlce nnd was Instructed by the. supremo coun cil to send a delegation to Paris on November 10 to sign n protocol guar anteeing to carry them out, nnd nlso to surrender certnln vessels and flout ing docks ns n penalty for the sink Ing of the warships In Scnpn Flow.

The conspiracy, It Is said. Is led and financed by Russlnns. The outbreak Is to have Its beginning In the Ruhr conl-mlnlng district, nl rcady full of Spartacans, nnd Munich nnd Brunswick will be among tho main centers of uprising. The com munists believe n large part of tho national defense nrmy will desert nnd Join their red nrmy. The pendulum of civil war swings back and forth with considerable regularity In Russia. At this writing It Is the bolshevik! thnt nre winning. General Yudenltch nnd his whlta nrmy of the northwest not only failed to reach Pctrogrod hut are now said to be In a most precarious situation. The reds sscrt they nre surrounding him, thnt they nre receiving heavy re enforcements nnd thnt bolshevik troops ire uttaclclng him In the rear from Luga.
