12 SETTLEMENT OF COAL STRIKE SOON [Continued front First Pago.] and eastward forecast for to-morrow and Thursday. Officials were optimistic that the miners' wage scale committee would vote favorably for the recommenda tion of the union leaders that the government's proposal for settlement of the 39-day-old strike be accepted. In that event no relaxation of ration orders might be expected immediate ly however, officials pointed out. It would be several days before suffici ent coal could be mined to permit any change in business schedules, they said and widely scattered coal car equipment also would militate against quick relief. Zero Temperatures Districts where the fuel reserve al ready virtually was exhausted were chief sufferers to-day from the swoop of low temperatures. At Butte, Mont., with 30 degrees below zero, hundreds were reported in distress, suffering from hunger and cold.

Hearing of Contempt Charges Against Miners Is Again Postponed Indianapolis, Dec. 9. —Hearing on the charges of contempt of court. Hied against eighty-four general and district officials of the United Mine Workers of America, was postponed until next Tuesday morning by United States District Judge A. B. Anderson, on motion of C. B. Ames, for the. government, when the case was called here to-day. The miners' officials, including acting President John L. Lewis and Secretary-Treasurer William Green, of the international organization, were charged on information tiled by U. S. District Attorney L. Ert Slack and Dan W. Simms, special assist ant, with violating the temporary injunction granted by Judge Ander son. restraining them from encour aging or furthering the strike of 400,000 bituminous coal miners of the country. The postponement was taken pending the outcome of the meet ing of the miners' officials here this afternoon, to act on the plan of President Wilson for ending the strike. The plan was submitted to President Lewis and Mr. Green by Attorney General Palmer, in Wash ington last Saturday. No intimation of the proposals contained in the plan had been made known this morning. United States District Attorney Slack moved the postponement of the empaneling of the Federal Grand Jury, summoned by Judge Anderson to investigate alleged vio lations of the Lever and antitrust laws by operators, miners and coal dealers, and the court fixed Wednes day, December 17, as the date. Appeal Filed The postponement of the contempt hearing also included the cases of the two local unions at Clinton, Ind., which were named in a separate in formation. At the conclusion of the court ses sion this morning G. L. Grant, of Fort Smith, Ark., one of the counsel for the miners, announced that "he had filed an appeal in the miners' injunction case with the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago yesterday. He said he had asked for early consideration. The court proceedings were open ed this morning by Judge Ames, who briefly reviewed the legal phases of the strike situation, and called attention to the prospects for settlement of the strike. His state ment, however, gave no indication of any government intention to dis miss the proceedings against the miners. "When the government instituted contempt proceedings against the officials of the United Mine Work ers of America," Judge Ames said, "it thought the measures justified and still entertains this opinion. However, we have been advised that a meeting will be held this after noon to consider settlement of the strike, and the government confi dently expects that the miners will take steps to comply with the order of the court for termination of the strike and there will be speedy and complete resumption of work in the mines. In view of these facts, therefore, the government would and twelve if you whip the jell all for a few cents. It is also quick.

Judge Anderson merely announced that the hearing would be contin ued until the date specified. like wise he agreed to a request by U. S. District Attorney Slack that the ses sion of the Federal Grand Jury, called to investigate alleged viola tions of the Lever law and antitrust acts, be postponed until Wednesday, December 17. The meeting of the miners this afternoon was held at two o'clock. The meeting was closed and there was no* indication of the length of time the miners would consume in discussion of the proposals. Pittsburgh District Is Operating as Usual By Associated Pi-ess Pittsburgh, Dec. 9.—Little was being done in the Pittsburgh dis trict to-day to obey the injunction of the government and save fuel.

Railroads, however, were curtailing schedules and cutting oft trains. At the offices of the Railroad Ad ministration it was said no order had been received from Washington putting the fuel conservation reg ulations into effect and so far as known here individual and corpo rate initiative TJUIS responsible for such steps as fifed been taken.

Broadway Will Revert to Wartime Darkness; Many Trains Canceled By Associated Press New. York, Dec. 9.—Broadway, normally flooded with more light by night than any city thoroughfare in the world, to-night will revert to wartime darkness. Only such illum ination as is decided necessary for public safety will be permitted, for virtually all New York's lighting is developed from bituminous coal, and under the Fuel Administrator's order issued last night, no orna mental lights, electric signs, out line lighting, illuminated billboards or show window lights are to be operated. Throughout the city businessmen expressed a willingness to comply with the order, despite its drastic provisions, and preparations were being made for the readjustments required by these clauses of the or der requiring retail stores to use light only six hours a day, and com pelling cabarets, dance halls, pool rooms and bowling alleys to be un lighted except between 7 and 11 p. m. The transit lines also depend chiefly upon soft coal and it is stated that their supplies are low. Both the Interborough and Brook lyn Rapid Transit Companies will be "dependent on the government" for operation if the coal strike con tinues, it was said. Sharp curtailment of train serv ice in the eastern region is sched uled to begin at one minute past midnight to-night. Among the more notable trains to be stopped are the New York Central's 20th Century Limited and the Broadway and At lantic City Limiteds on the Penn sylvania. The cut on the Central Railroad of New Jersey will amount to ten per cent, of its service. The New York Central will withdraw 131 trains, the Pennsylvania sixteen trains on the New York division, and the Long Island Railroad about ten per cent of its service.

The President, Secretary Wilson 1 said, had "pointed a way out with honor to the government and honor to yourselves." The telegram, which was ad dressed also to the members of the miners' scale committee follows: j "I cannot too strongly urge you to accept the basis of settlement ! proposed by the President. I have been associatel with him for more than six years, and I know that ev ery fiber of his strong nature has been devoted toward securing fair play for everybody and particularly the underdog in a fight. Every blow he has had to bear, and he has had to bear many of them, has been brought about by his intense earnestness in that direction. You can reply thoroughly upon every promise he makes. "Rut aside from that, as a result of the stoppage of work in the mines, we are facing the most diffi cult industrial si' untion that ever confronted the country. It threat ens fhe very starvation of our so cial life. In this emergency the President has pointed a way out with honor to the government and hqnor to yourselves. If my judg ment and experience are of any value to you. let me use them in ad vising you for ths welfare of your selves and the country as a whole, to accept the wa£ out that Is pro posed by the President."
