To Be Followed by Temporary Stay, Nov. 8, Advices Say, Which Will be Made Permanent if Possible. LEADERS PARALYZED (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1. From the scene of most activity in connection with the strike of approximately 400,O00 bituminous coal miners, headquar ters of the United Mine Workers of America here has been transformed lr. the last 24 hours to perhaps the most lethargic. The lack of activity, however, is not due to disinterest in the strike. but is the result of the sweeping provisions of the restraining order issued yesterday by United States District Judge A. B. Anderson compelling the miners officials to refrain from taking any part in conducting or encour

I paging the strike of the miners, which, fidaccordlng to dispatches, has been car-

icu uub aiujuoi. l 1.7 a, mall auiuug i vnion soft coal workers of the country. Miners' leaders at headquarters thus far, apparently have obeyed the restraining order to the letter. They not only decline to give out statements and reports concerning the strike but will not discuss their plans for com batting the action of the government in the courts, and unless the restrain ing order is violated by some of those against whom it is directed, miners headquarters probably will remain quiet, at least until the government's injunction proceedings again come up in the federal court, Nov. 8. Only First Step. The restraining order secured yes terday is the first step in the government's plan to render the strike ineffective. On Nov. 8 a temporary injunction will be asked, government officials pointing out that the first order was merely an emergency measure intended, not to prevent individual miners from quitting work, but to prevent organized direction of the tie-up. The order will leave the miners free to exercise their own judgment in quitting or remaining at work, and also will give the miners' leaders time to prepare to present their side of the case to the court. If the temporary injunction is granted, the government later will ask -that it be made permanent. Enforcement ot the restraining order has been left in the hands of L. Ert Slack, United States District Attorney for Indiana. Mr. Slack will be assisted by agents of the Department of Justice, sent to Indianapolis when the government's plan of action began to take form. Government authorities do not contemplate that any

Vj attempts at violation of the court or

der win De mace dui are taxing uo chances in the matter. Lawyers Retained. The only step of the miners thus far given out toward fighting the government in the courts, is the information that Henry Warrum, an Indianapolis attorney had been retained, and that Alton B. Parker, of New York, probably would be engaged to handle the Mine Workers' case. Both Judge Parker and Mr. Warrum have represented the organization at various times in the past. Latest reports received in Indianapolis, indicate that in Districts No. 8 and No. 11 of the United Mine Workers, both of which are in southwestern Indiana, approximately 25,000 miners had walked out in compliance with the strike order. These reports came from sources favorable to the mine workers and thus far operators have made no statements as to the number of miners who quit work. Practically all of the mines in the state were open for operation this morning and all workers who resired it, were given employment.

MINERS' ATTITUDE WRONG, SAYS WHITE; STRIKE NOT RIGHT BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE EMPORIA, Kan., Oct. 31 The desire of the mine owners to arbitrate their differences with the miners has been obvious for the past week. But it has also been obvious for the past two weeks that public opinion would not force the mine owners into the arbitration. Whatever might be the attitude of the mine owners, the mine workers have handled their publicity badly. They have allowed the public to feel that their demand for a sixhour day and a five-day week meant a serious curtailment of the product of the miners. That is, that it meant either less coal or more men. If the mine workers had made their demand for a SOO-day year, placing that part of their contention foremost if they had shown that the sixhour day and the five-day week would not cut down the amount of coal mined in a SOO-day year, but instead would have increased the amount of coal mined, the mine workers would have had better standing with the American public than they have. But the six-hour day and the five-day week have been so thoroughly advertised and so energetically emphasized that the American people feel that the miners are slacking in an Industrial

crisis, which is as Berious as any military crisis during the war. Miners' Attitude Wrong This is unfortunate, but it is the least disastrous of the miners strategic moves. They have flaunted their rights in the face of the Ameri can people; have set themselves up with a sort of providential arrogance at this time by threatening to call a coal strike at the beginning: of winter, So long as the mine workers have plenty to eat, plenty to wear, a house over them, they can have no possible wrongs in a civilized world which would justify them in threatening the comfort and health and the very life of millions of innocent people, a ma jority or whom are women and chil dren. The right of an innocent coal consuming public to heat in the win ter is a paramount right to anyabridged rights of the striking miners so long as they have the common comforts of our civilization. When they ruthlessly set their wrongs against the lives of their neighbors, they for feited American good will. I am inclined to believe that the six-hour day and the five-day week coupled with a compulsory 300-day year, are fair in the mining industry. Five days underground a week and six hours a day, five days in the week are about all any man can 6tand and maintain his health and perform his duty as a father and a citizen in this particular industry. Betrty a Just Cause . The coal mine workers who have betrayed a just cause at this time by tne brutal disregard of the fellowmen have sinned deeply against the cause of labor. They have given a rather contemptuous and cynical group of labor-baiters a splendid opportunity to produce reaction against progress not merely in the mining industry, but. in all intensive industries. After all we are neighbors here in America and no neighbor has the right to threaten the comfort and health and life of his fellows because of a grievance which he has not tried to 6ettle without that threat, however just that grievance may be. This is written by one who believes ardently in the cause of Americm trades unionism; one who, as an employer, operates a union shop, a closed shop, but who feels that in this situation the mine workers' union leaders have handled their cause badly. THREE RIOTERS PLEAD GUILTY ON INDICTMENT Three of the 23 men, indicted by the county grand jury for participation in the recent riot troubles at the Malleable Castings company, changed their pleas from not guilty to guilty in court Saturday morning. They were Carey Toney, 18, John Stover, 17, and Carl Davis, 18. Another rioter, Walter Cassell, aged 16, was to plead guilty at the afternoon session of the court, according to a statement made by his attorney, this morning. Sentence was not passed on the men, the court saying that It wished to withhold judgment for several days. All three were represented by their attorneys. Trial of the other 14 men who have been apprehended, will begin Monday, Nov. 3. GUT OUT DEAD ONES IN ARMY-PERSHING (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. Elimination of "dead timber" among army officers was suggested by General Pershing, before the senate and house military committee today, as one of the steps advisable m peace time reorganization of the military establishment. In nearly every grade, the general said, there were a few officers who had passed the stage of usefulness and should be replaced. Extending some of his remarks of yesterday. General Pershing said the army department of purchase and financ recommended by him should not take over the buying of articles now secured by the quartermaster general's bureau. In reducing the army from 500,000 to 300.000 men, the general said only a small reduction could be made in the number of staff officers. "We had 350 on our staff in France for an army of 2,00J,000 men. We should have needed tne same number for half as many."

Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, German chancellor for tho greater part of the war, underwent a grilling interrogation before the national assembly sub-committee, which is endeavoring to determine what possibilities for peace had presented themselves during the war. Commissioner Sincheimer questioned the former Chancellor so insistently on matters detailed at the morning session that Von Bethmann-Hollweg grew almost savage, although for a long time he had adopted an apologetic attitude. Considerable time was devoted to the part played by American Ambassador Gerard, Von Bethmann-Hollweg repeatedly asserting that Germany was suspicious of President Wilson's sincerity In offering peace, because he (President Wilson) did not confide in Gerard, and the latter had to go to the president for information. The exchancellor said Ambassador Gerard's observations in Germany generally coincided with his own. Direct answers were frequently evaded by Von Bethrnann Hollweg. who said he could not remember whether he gave Gerard German peace terms, although they had often spoken of peace and he had told Ger ard things he said in the reichstag.

Timothy Nicholsons Views on Life on Eve of 91st Birthday

The world has grown better in many respects and shows a tendency to retrograde in other directions, is the conclusion of Timothy Nicholson on the eve of his ninety-first birthday. At an age which gives him opportunity to look back over a long lapse of time, and with a judgment ripened and matureLby, participation in some of the foremost moral movements of the century, Mr. Nicholson's views of life, the questions of the day, and the principles that make for success, are interesting.

Following attempts to disperse the crowd of relatives and friends who have thronged the entrance to the mine ever since the disaster occurred, mine officials hoped early today to remove the 7 bodies from the mine. On account of the women and children at the mouth of the mine last night no efforts to move the bodies were made. From the condition of the bodies, it was stated that all had been suffocated by smoke or gas as they had not been touched by the flames.

Olcott, of North Vernon, a member of the faculty of the central Normal School at Danville, today was elected president of the Indiana State Teacher's association. Miss Kate Anderson, of Seymour, was named recording secretary, and C. V. Haworts of Kokemo, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Haworth defeated C. O. Williams, of Richmond, who was a candidate for re-election.

Denny, Anderson, two years and E. N. Haskins. of Vicnennes. two years.

LIGHT PLANT MAY BE SHORT OF GOAL With only a few day's supply of coal on hand, the City Light Plant is facing a serious situation, says J. P. Dillon, superintendent. Enough orders for the winter supply of coal have been placed but congested railroad transportation has held it up. At present 49 cars of coal are enroute from the Kentucky mines but how soon they will arrive is uncertain, as recent government orders empowers the railroads to hold up all cars of coal enroute that may be needed. "The dark days that have been the rule this week has caused more than an average amount of coal to be used. says Dillon. "Since the light plant will use as much coal in one week as any other industry in town will use In a week, it Is a hard matter to keep an adequate supply always on hand." All other public utilities in Richmond are well supplied with coal. The city w-ater works has a sufficient supply on hand to run it for a long period. Richmond street car users need have no fear of having to walk to work as the local power-house of the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company hc, a 60 day supply.

394,080 JOIN WALKOOTiCOAL (WINES CLOSED Production of America's Soft Coal Stops in Practically Every Section as Workers Lay Down Picks. FEW FIELDS CONTINUE

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Nov. 1 Upward of 394,000 bituminous coal miners throughout the nation of a total of 615,000 men employed in that industry were on strike in response to the general strike call, effective at midnight last night, according to reports, in some instances estimated, received by union leaders. Despite the federal injunction issued at Indianapolis against the strike, the leaders, who generally stated they would disregard it, asserted that the strike today would be extended to more than 500,000 miners. Exact strength of the walkout probably will not be known until Monday, however, since In many of the country's mines, Saturday has been recognized as at least a half holiday and work suspended altogether in others on Sundays. Mine operators today had announced no plans for carrying on mining, despite the precautionary steps taken and promised by the Federal and different stite governments. Neither hod they given out an estimate of the number of men on strike. Federal Troops Used. From headquarters here of the Central department of the United States army, which embraces most of the nation's great bituminous coal fields, no reports of additional movements of Federal troops into the mining zones had been announced. Federal troops from Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., today were on duty in the West Virginia coal fields and others were held in readiness in Georgia to be sent to the East Tennessee mining district. In Colorado and Oklahoma state troops had been ordered into the coal fields. Throughout the country the putting into effect of the walkout was orderly. No reports of violence or destruction of property were received, and in many instances a sufficient quota of union men was left at the various properties to prevent accidents or the damage that would result from stopping the machinery. Minus reports from some of the stateson the number of miners affected by the strike order, principally Alabama and Virginia, following is a table by states of the number of men reported ou today by the union leaders: Arkansas. 4,000; Colorado, 5.000; Illinois, 80,000; Indiana. 23,000; Iowa. 14.000; Kansas, 13,000; Kentucky. 10,000; Maryland. 4.000: Michigan, 2.400; Missouri, 2.000; Montana. 4,000; New Mexico, 4,000; Ohio, 40.000; Oklahoma 7,000; Pennsylvania, 100,000; Tennessee, 2.000; Texas, 2.300; Utah. 1.000; Washington. 6,000: West Virginia, 43,500; Wyoming. 8.000. Make Bitter Comment. Comments of the mining district presidents, upon being informed of issuance of the injunction at Indianap olis, ranged from mere acknowledgment of the information to statements that no Judge in the country' was "big enough to call off the strike" and that the restraining order only makes us "that much more determined to. fight to the bitter end. let the consequences be what they may." Some of the operators said they did not believe a large percentage of the miners employed in their mines would join the movement, especially the Kentucky owners. Should the government order oper ation of the mines, the atempt to employ Inexperienced miners In Illinois and Oklahoma and possibly other states would encounter state laws requiring examination of the workers. Ed Boyle, chief mine inspector, of Oklahoma, Faid he would not permit operation with green men, such as soldiers. OUT AT TERRE HAUTE. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 1. Reports received this morning at the offices of the Bituminous Coal Operators' association indicate that the 28.000 union miners of District No. 11. without an exception, have obeyed the order' to strike.
