STRIKE ORDER STANDS, MINE HEADS DECIDE

Leaders of Coal Diggers of Country Vote to Quit Work in Central States Mines, on NTov. I. WILSON DISREGARDED (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS Ind.. Oct. 29. The strike order of the United Mine Workers, effective Friday midnight, stands. After two hours discussion the conference here today of the officials of the big union. It was announced, had no idea of modifying the call for a cessation of work. President Wilson's pronouncement on the threatened industrial war had no defendants in the conference, it was announced. Representatives of coal miners in all parts of tne country were here today, for while it originally was planned to hold only a meeting of the executive board of the organization at this time, in view of the demand of President Wilson last Saturday that the strike order be rescinded. Acting President John L. Lewis broadened the scope of the conference. As a consequence 25 district presi dents of the mine workers, the full scale committee, composed of 32 members, and the board of executives comprising a representative from each of the 29 districts, are in attendance. All of those present, it was stated, will have a vote. Faces Are Sober. The delegates entered the conference this morning sober faced and with a full realization of the seriousness of their undertaking. Xot a man among them but was aware that the national and state governments were lined solidly against them and that the governments are backed by widespread public opinion that the miners are in the wrong. On every hand they have been met with expressions of the grave consequences attaching to the threatened strike on the verge of wir.tr. Discontinuance of the production of coal would more effectually tie up the industries of the country than would a strike of any other body of workers, and in addition such action would cause untold Buffering among millions of the country's inhabitants. Despite the frantic efforts of the railroads to furnish extra cars to the mines for transportation of what fuel is on hand at the source, it will be impossible to provide an adequate supply for even a short period. The big industries of the country would be hard hit by the stoppage of their coal supplies and domestic consumers in every city and many rural communities would soon feel the effects of the tie-up. In the larger citir.i few of the big hotels and flat buildings have facilities for storing a winters supply of fuel and dealers with whom they may have contracts would be unable to supply their demands, fo.they in turn depend upon continuous shipments from the mines. Railroads also would be seriously affected by the strike. Witling to Negotiate. Right up to the hour of the conference this mornir.g miners' officials reiterated that they were willing to negotiate with the operators, but sail that the latter had showed no inclination to discuss the demands. "For the firt time in the history of the miners' wage conferences." Vice-President Lewis said, "the operators have failed to offer a suggestion. Heretofore -we have been able to sit down and present our side of the controversy and the operators their proposals, but this time is unique.' Possibility of government operation of the mines has been advanced by some of the delegates who apparently were receptive to the idea. On the other hand, high officials of the organization scouted the idea of government, control and added that they could not see what power could be exerted to make men work when they J not want to work "Practically 90 per cent of thn miners are members of the organization and directly involved in strike." said William Green, international secretary-treasurer of the miners. "Conscriptir p men to operate th" mines weuia avail tne government. Everv district of the international organization of the miners was called upon to send representatives to th-5 conference today, except those of Canada. GOVERNMENT PREPARED WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 Official? hopeful that the strike of bituminous miners called for Saturday may yet be averted, turned their attention to Indianapolis, where the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America was called to meet. While some officials were not optimistic in other quarters there was evidenced a distinct feeling that the miners' answer to President Wilson's appeal would be favorable. Should the executive board decide adversely on the request of the presiident that the strike be called off, the ' government it was indicated after yesterday's cabinet meeting at which 1 the situation was canvassed, was to ' be prepared to deal with any situation that might arise. HART WARNS MINERS. TACOMA, Wash.. Oct. 29 Members of district No. 10, United Mine Workers of America today received formal notification from Governor Hart, that the state of Washington would not tolerate any attempt to "freeze the government into submission" to demands being made by the organized miners, under threat to strike Nov. 1.
