WHOLE COUNTRY 1 MAKES STRUGGLE, I Famous Twentieth Century Limited Suspended for First Time in Its ; History. 1 t-\__ r 17: li.. *U ^nicago, uet. o.? v lrtuau^ mc entire country was struggling'tonight to make the best of more abnormal / conditions than prevailed during the war as a result of the drastic mea-' ' sures being prescribed daily to partially, counteract thet prolonged strikeof miners in the bituminous coal j field. Tonight the situation could be; summarized as follows: Federal Fuel Administrator Gar . field indicated that coal production was increasing over last week. | Orders for further curtailment in train service were issued with suspension for the first time in its his-1 j tory of the famous 20th Century Limited between New York and Chicago. Approximately 150 other trains in the eastern region also will be affected begfnning next Wednesday. New York city was included in the restrict-! * *?-l j. 1 : ed area today wnen neai. was lumeu off in subway, elevated and surface! cars ^during rush hours,, and in' cabins on some of the ferryboats, j Theatres also.were darkened but for. only one hour during the evening. Reports from the Pittsburgh, Pa.,! district -indicated that many miners there had expressed to their employers a desire to resume , work, while ; word was received from Richard J. Hopkins, attorney general of Kansas, that* he believed the coal diggersj; efota nrmilr) Kronlf flWflV "frftm I Ill tuav ?f vwiu ? %*.. v.^ ? the leadership of President Howat of District No. 14 of the mine workers, j Texas w;as endeavoring to over- ? 'come the situation by getting all available fire and cord wood. About 1,000 tons had been purchased for Dallas. Military Rules Prevail. Six counties in Oklahoma were , placed under military rule and Governor Robertson has ordered on dutyi the entire national guard organiza- \ tion to occupy the coal fields. i Governor Lowden of Illinois an- >; nounced that the state would make j no effort to run the mines at present j as it would be almost murder to sena i inexperienced men into the deep pits.'; Tennessee operators ' and miners ' have been called by Governor Roberts ' to meet in Knoxville Saturday to con- j sider steps to end the strike with-; out seizure of the mines. State op: eration of the Kansas surface mines too continued today with volunteers taking coal from 12 pits in a drizzling rain. While the general restrictions were ordered for Chicago yesterday the full effect was not felt until today. The . public utilities commission also revised its orders and beginning Monretail stores will have their doors open from noon until 6 p. m. and 9 j p. m. on Saturday night. It was j annouced that a four hour day might become necessary. The mayor of Cheynne, Wyo., ordered the domestic and industrial! life of that city placed on a conser-j ' vation basis. j Efforts in Michigan and Iowa to j resume work. in the mines were in vain, with the miners representatives j standing pat. Miners May Return. Ten thousand idle miners m west Virginia were urged by a convention of delegates frem subdistrict No. 3 to accept the government's offer of i a 14 per cent, increase. The Southern regional director has ordered a general curtailment of passenger train service in the South effective Tuesday. After a conference today with operators and miners Governor-Cox of Ohio declared that the prospects for a settlement, of the walkout good. It was understood that the executive proposed an increase to the miners of approximately 25 per cent. The conference will meet again Monday. Soldiers from Camp Lewis are en route to the coal field of Montana for emergency purposes. MomWs nf the Illinois Manufact urers association have begun a boycott, of clothing, food and fuel and other necessities against the striking miners of the state. With the towns and cities in southern Illinois affected today by the restriction issued by the public utilities committee, operators and miners announced they could see no immediate end to the strike. Sidelights on the situation follow: TT 1 JIG irtev. mr. nitidis, vx bn\. i Metho^^t Episcopal church pf Ho??-1 tonia, Mo., with members of his con-: gregation dug 80 bushels of coal so that services might be Held. Governor Allen of Kansas announced that Pittsburgh, Kan., would be the capital of the state for the present. i I ~ ^ - - r I Columbus, unio, juec. o.?duvuoi of Governor Cox through conferences! today with operators and officials of J the miner's union -to reopen the i mines in Ohio were declared by the I governor to hold encouraging prospects this evening when all negotiations were postponed until 11 o'clock, next Monday morning. Though all conferences were held behind closed doors and no statements ? ?vrtr?n<!sii<s fnr a comoromise IV bliv v^/ vrwv??w ? were made public, it is believed thatj the governor proposed an increase to i the miners of approximately 25 per j cent. No announcement was-made as to [ * the miner's attitude toward the gov-; ernment's proposal, but it was gen- j erally believed the offer would be accepted by them. That some of the. operators also will accept the gover- j nor's proposal was believed.
