His majority over his twt principal rivals is 170,080. , Joseph S. MacLaughlin, Charter party nominee, made a feeble showing. Jn the entire city Mr. MacLaughlin polled only 18,00:1 votes. Wcscott's total vote was 30,G&'I. Kvcry fjomlnec on the Republican ticket was carried to victory on the, Moore "ground swell," insuring control r til Council by the Moore forces for tho next fou'" years. ' Charges of concerted cutting by Vare leaders over tbp city were groundless. Robert B.

Despite the apparent apathy of the voters, more than 270,000 of 'the 850, 000 enrolled voters availed themselves of tho right "of franchise.

The surprise of the election was the comparatively small" yote polled by Wes- cott and Mactttughlin. MacLaughlln's Poor Showing Wescott, with slightly more than 30, 000 votes, ran 10,000 votes fewer than the 40,000 which ho had estimated, MacLaughlin made even a poorer show ing, with his .meager 18,003 votes for the entire city. -, JfacLaughlin's votes came chiefly from tho strong Independent wards in West Philadelphia. His greatest vote was in his home ward, the Forty-fourth, where he polled 2007, But even there Congressman Moore's majority wes more than 2000. In the strong organization wards the Charter party candidate's vote was cut to a minimum. Many of the smaller wards gave him fewer than ten votes, and in the Twelfth ward, of which James B.

The full sweep of independent Re publicanism, which for the first time in many years asserted a compelling and vital power in purely municipal nffairs, carried all pre-election statis tics as to the strength of factions into the political waste basket. The tidal wave of independent Re publicanism, swelling in answer to the declaration" thnt the "independents were through," made futile nil nt tempts nt "knifing," and virtually made the new Council a unit in sympathy with tile next Mnnr. On the most conservative analyses by Mooie leaders, the friends of Mr. Moore will have at least a two-thirds majority in the new legislative body. These figures give tlie incoming nd-' ministration fifteen allies in Council and the A ares six. If, ns is asserted will be the -case, David (!.

The control of the 'new Council by friends of Mujor-clect Moore will re sult, it is believed, in the elpetlou of a Civil Service Commission by that body which will be in sympathy with the alms of the new administration. l'ollticlanR studying the returns said tho completion of the new Council, in the light of the fhll sweep of the Re publican nominees throughout tho city, was such that factionalism in the legis lative body had really been abolished. This was in the Mayor-elect's mind when he made his speech at Moore head quarters nt midnight "We will know no faction," he said. "This will be n people's administration and wo are in a position to pledge it. Wn Intend to relv on nubile sentiment. not on factions, for the success of our administration.

The town is on tlie dividing line be tween large union and nonunion dis tricts. Some one, anticipating a pos sible raid of union miners into the non union field, had the troops brought in as a piecautionary measure.

The govern ment innnot accept the proposal of organized labor to end the coal strike by vacating the Injunction against the of ficials of the United Mine Workers of America. Assistnnt Attorney General Ames, in the nl.seuce of Attorney fieneral Pal mer, announced today that the govern ment could not abandon its position be cause the strike -was in violation of law. Judge Ames issued the following statement: "The strike is a violation of law. As long as it continue we nre going to pro ceed in the courts. yTlic dispute between the mine owners nnd workers is an eh- i tirely different question thnt they can settle in their own way. The govern ment cannot tolerate continued viola tion oi me niw sucn us tins strlKc con stitutes." Labor leaders here who had taken a llOneftll View nf till, afrit,, elt,,nlrn uirer nenring ot Namiifl (Jompers s sue xesiinn yesterday that withdrawal of the injunction would open the way. for a settlement, were plainly disturbed by news inac ine Department oi justice) would' let the injunction stand. All agreed that it would keep the strike going for some time, This also was the view of operators, Means Iing Fight, Sajs Wallace Refusal of the government to vac Iho injunction means a long fight jri. " the coal fields, while its withdrawal would have .opened" the wny for settle ment nf the strike wilhin' forty-eight; houis. according to Kdgar Wallace. er eciitive representative of the United Mine Workers of America. "If the injunction were withdrawn the scale committees representing min ers and operators could get together in twenty-four hours and settle their differences at one sitting," Wnllnce said. "The strike, however, would not be called off until u new wage agrcemcnr not cnr noil was reached. The miners' committee, with povvjt fo accent the now nrrpement. could nfll on tne strike without referring 'tne question to u delegate convention, Wal lace said. "President Lewis's statement that the miners would be willing to nego tiate without reservations," he ndded, "simply means that he would start; with a new slate, without regard to previous demands, which the operators refused to grant " These demands were a five-dny week, nn eight-hour daj nnd u wage increase of 00 per cent. Wallace explained, however, that they were not arbitrated, but were put forward as a basis of ne gotiation. Miners Planned Conference Representatives ot the mine workers, counting hopefully on the early end of, court proceedings, were figuring on act' ual steps to adjust differences at scale committee rneefings. As indicating the desire for peace, tho miners' agents thought it would be unnecessary for the joint conference to be held under the auspices of the Department of Labor, their idea being that the two sides could meet exactly as thej did at Huffulo and Philadelphia before rejection nf demands led to is suance of the strlltf" older. In view of the Intention of the at torney general not to ask for vacation i of the injunction, labor leaders said there vas no likelihood of an) import ant move before the injunction cas came up for hearing at Iudianapalis Saturday.

When informed of the statement of Mr. Ames, John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers, of America, who is at Indianapolis, said todu) that he had no comment to make. "Mv statement last night covers tb slfiintiou," Mr. Lewis said. (Mrv Lewis's statement laFt night said that the miners would be willing to resume negotiations immediately if the restrain ing order wcro vacated.)
