FUEL OUTLOOK GROWING GLUM [Continued from First Page.] the fourteen per cent, wage increase decreed by the government were! forthcoming. Slight Hay of Hope A' slight ray ot' hope, however, was ; found in optimistic reports from i operators of the district embracing Southeastern Kentucky, Tennessee 1 and Virginia that the backbone or | the strike there had beejt broken; the return to work of miners at one ! small mine in Missouri with the j statement that they, as Americans, ! could not "see their neighbors suffer, j and adoption by miners of one West Virginia subdistrict of a resolution favoring a general return to work under the fourteen per cent, wage increase ''until a satisfactory adjust ment is made." On the other hand cutting oft of electric advertising and other non essential use of power and fuel, with the added prospect of further cur tailment of industry, brought to the general public a rather gloomy out look. Some regional coal directors estimated that with reductions of working staffs already made or threatened, should the strike not be broken immediately, the number of employes thrown out of work soon would sumass several times over the approximately 400,000 mine workers involved in the walkout. Conditions at the mines to-day showed no appreciable chunge from | yesterday. There was no indication of an intention to resume produc- j tion in the great central competive i field. Illinois, Indiana, Western | Pennsylvania and Ohio. The output of the surface mines in Kansas, being worked by volun- j teers under protection of state and Federal soldiers to-day promised j to be increased as the men got the "hang" of the work and their forces wore augmented. The governor of Nebraska con tinued to urge men of his state to volunteer to work in the mines of nearby c.oal producing states, and [ the dispatching of troops into the coal fields of Missouri was regarded j by some as a forerunner of attempt- i ed state operations of those mines. | From the minfc operators themselves, | however, came some opposition to j sending inexperienced men • into their shafts. The West Virginia mines to-day • continued to be the chief producers j of soft coal, as they have been since \ inception of the strike. Wyoming I miners who walked out two days ago in protest against the 14 per cent, wage increase to-day were un der orders of their state officials to return*to work. The new strike was not sanctioned. As miners' leaders talked of pos sible extension of the strike to, the anthrucite fields, there were reports from Indianapolis' that the govern ment ha,d concluded to institute con tempt proceedings, being convinced that, the injunction issued against the strike had been violated. In the eastern part of the coun try, where the effects of the strike I so far have not been felt as heavily as farther west* the Bethlehem Steel Company to-day had been forced to older banked one of its stacks at North Lebanon. Pa. It was an nounced thnt unless there was an early delivery of coal the stock would lie blown out, and that be cause of the fuel situation no addi tional men now'were being employ ed. Among the many industries forced to close or facing a shut down in the west was the Anaconda Copper Mining Company in Montana. Offi cials announced that preparations were being made to close all that company's mines attd smelters in Montana, which would throw 12,000 men out of employment. The effect of the miners' strike also threatened to extend to Canada, a Montreal report saying failure of furnish the dominion 150 carloads of coa\ daily, us agreed, would cause further serious reduction of passen gef and freight service.

Senator Dillingham, Republican, Vermont, as chairman of the Privi leges and Elections committee, will have charge of the Investigation, lie is expected to arrive in Wash lington Saturday and the committee will meet next week to make the in quiry. Senator Newberry was not In the Senate when the Pomerene resolu tion was adopted. Kepubliean House leaders, In con ference yesterday, considered the legislative program but without final decision. Representative Mondell, majority leader, said appropriations must he "held down" as much as possible and conferences with the legislative steering committee for further discussion of a more definite program for the supply bills will be held later. The pensions bill will be first to reach the House, preparation being more or less perfunctory with the total it carries fixed by other laws. Next will come the legislative bill probably, and none of the big ap propriation measures is expected to be disposed of by the House before the Christmas recess. Leaders plan to enact an army of reorganization bills and a measure fixing the per manent personnel of the navy before providing the funds for the service. Chairman Good, of the House Ap propriations committee, said that the bill providing funds for the rail road administration to wind up its affairs would be considered soon. He expects that at least 1400,000,000 would be asked of Congress and an nounced that he would confer later in the week with Bwager Sherley, fi nance director of the railroad ad ministration, regarding its financial needs. iJU auiJtmNoiuri! ■ I HARRINIBTENQIL WOftKV || I lIULOOUVTII.NAKIMiI.nLII 21
