they as Americans could not see their

On the other hand cutting off of
electric advertising and other non-
essential use of power and fuel with
the added prospect of further curtail-
ment of Industry brought to tbe gen-
era! public a rather gloomy outlook.
It was eertnutled that with re-

volunteer to work In the mines of
nearby states and the dispatching of

in protest against the 14 percent wace
increase today were ander orders of
their state officials to return to work.
The new strike waa not aanctloned.
As miners' leaders talked of possi-
ble extension of the atrlks to the an-
thracite fields there were reports
that the government had concluded to

likely shot up the place.
