(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1. Officers of the United Mine Workers maintain their silence today as to tbf possibility of a nation-wide coal strike in protest against the federal court injunction prohibiting use of the check-off system by which operators collect union dues, but it was learned authoritatively that the operators had assurance that the union officials would seek to avert a walkout of workers. Union officials took this attitude against the strike, although it was known that they regarded the injunction as breaking the existing contracts between minrrs and operators, which the union officials said was based on the award of the government bituminous coal commission, and written at the direction of former President Wilson. The contract expires next March 31, and includes the provision for ihe check-off, the discard of which was

asked by operators and denied by the!

"To the Republicans of Richmond Your committee appeals to every loyal Republican, who has the best interests of le city at heart, to support the nor nees of the Republican party. Since the Republican voters nominated a list of candidates, against whom no man can offer a word of criticism, we believe that It Is the duty of every Republican to support the ticket. "If unworthy candidates had been nominated then we would not feel the necessity of appealing for your support, but since all candidates for all offices are admittedly clean, able and deserving, we believe you should resolve all questions in their favor and give them your vote. Owe Party Support

"Normally the city of Richmond is Republican and since this is true, the

Republican party is entitled to sue

that you owe no allegiance to the Democratic party, but that when you participate in a Republican primary you owe it to your party, in all fairness, to support the candidates. What can you expect to gain in this election by voting for a Democrat? - By so doing

you not only weaken Republican chances of success, but diminish the effectiveness of the administration of city affairs for the next four years, because divided authority in city affairs never results in successful city government. "It your party Is not to be rewarded for nominating clean men", then what Incentive Is' there to strive to do so? In this election will you hold up the hands of your party when it Is In the right or will you vote to condemn it? We appeal to Republicans to vote a straight Republican ticket and not be led away by blandishments or mere personal appeals. Will you have competent Republicans filling the public offices of this city, or will you have Democrats, dominated by a Democratic machine? The answer is plain vote a straight Republican ticket.

REFUND OF U.S. TOLLS WITHIN RIGHTS, SAYS FRENCH ARMS ADVISOR

(By ' Associated Press) ON BOARD THE STEAMER LAFAYETTE, Nov. 1. Tolls paid by American vessels using the .Panama canal could be refunded by the United States treasury without infringing upon the treaty rights of any nation, according to Lieut. Col. Philippe BunauVarilla, chief engineer of the canal under the French regime, who is on his way to the Washington armament conference as a counseller for the French delegation. He thinks these refunds should be from the treasury, and not from the receipts and surplus of the canal and he said there was no reason why the British government could not refund tolls paid by vessels in transit from the eastern coast of Canada to the western ports of that contry. "I have been looking into the tolls question somewhat," he said, "and I am absolutely convinced that if tho American government desires to refund tolls to owners of American vesvels, it would bo within treaty rights. There are three treaties which concern the Panama canal. The first is the treaty of Constantinople regarding the Suez waterway, which guarantees 'freedom and equality of treatment' to ships of all flags."
