CALLS WALKOUT \CRIME\ AH Government Contentions Are Uphold Lover Act Is Still in Force. Special Deepatch to Tn SDN. iNDUNArous, Nov. 8. Under com pulsion of tho United States District Court the United Mine Workers of America must Withdraw their bitu- minous strike order before Tuesday at 10 A. M. Judge Anderson to-d- not enly granted the temporary Injunction tainst the aiding or encouragment ot the striko by tho national and local officers of the union, but for tho first time In legal history required them affirmatively to withdraw the order which called the strike. While the miners will appeal, they ttnnot make the appeal effectlvo be fore Tuesday. The officers affected by the order of the court have been sum moned to meet in Indianapolis on Monday. Unless they then withdraw the strike order they will be punish- able through fine and imprisonment for contempt of court. Judge Anderson based his decision squarely upon the Government's con tentlon that under the Lever' food and fuel control act the United Mine Workers were guilty of a crime in arranging to limit tho distribution of fuel. \The Clayton act,\ he said, referring to the statutory guarantee of the right to Btrike, \does not apply in this in- stance, because the Clayton act does not contemplate that the right to ttrlke permits of the commission of crime \ He gave scant shrift to the argu- ments of the strikers' attorneys, seok-Ic- g to show that the Lever act lapsed with the war emergency. Clarion .let I Explained. \The act provides that it is in force until peace is officially proclaimed by Judge Anderson de uarea and instructed the attorneys that they need not Rttempt to argue we question, as tho courts had alread, construed it and that his own mind as convinced on this point of law. So ciearly did Judge Anderson consider tie provisions of the Lever act to bear n the present situation that he said he ould enjoin \any two miners who dig coal with their hands\ from agreeing be- tween themselves to check production. The point was ralst-- that the officials of the United Mine Workers, not them-lve- s being workers on strike, could not lenefU from the statutory protection of the right to strike. Judge Anderson held, however, that the officials were the Proper agents of the miners and could benefit. Little doubt was expressed but that thf strike order will be withdrawn. Nono of the officers of the union whoso names To included in the order would talk 'bout It. It was said at the offices of tie union, however, that both John L. Lewis, acting president, and William Ureen, secretary-treasure- r, would obey.

Railroad operating officials here are prepared to. curtail passenger ser- vice immediately on receipt of orders from the United States Railroad Administration to do so.

BREAKS WITH PALMER Operators Profess Optimism That Strike Will Re Called Off Special Despatch to Tna Sox. Washington, Nov. 8. Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, has called a hurried meeting of the full executive council of the federation for to consider developments in the coal strike. While the programmo of this con ference has not been made known ft is understood that an appeal to Presi dent Wilson to intervene against the Injunction order granted in Indianap- olis to-d- and to call an Immediate conferenco of mine workers and mlno operators, is contemplated. Labor officials in Washington refuse to discuss either the court action to day or tho conferenco but it is known that labor chiefs are hur- rying here by train from every section of tho countrv-- . William Green, secre- - tary of the United Mine Workers of America, who was in the Indianapolis court, is speeding to Washington to participate. Whether John L. Lewis, acting president of the United Mine Workers of America, ls to be here is rot known. It ls regarded as likely that the presidents of other interna- tional unions also may. attend the' con- ference. Negotiations between Mr. Gompers and Attorney-Gener- Palmer appar-- 1 ently have been broken off. The At-- 1 torney-Gener- al made It plain to tile I labor chief y that the Government Intended to ''smash the strike ns an unlawful action against tho United States. It was thus that the negotiations con- ducted In four conferences between the two ended. Last t they were fairly close together, but when Acting Presi- dent Lawls refused to call off the strike, even II the Government delayed court action In Indianapolis Attorney- - General maimer sain mat we uovern-me- would proceed to end the strike. Mr. Gompers saw newspaper men to day, but refused to make any state- ment, as did Edgar Wallace, legislative representative of the miners here. Operator Optlmlntlc. Reports received from the fields by representatives here of the coal opera- tors were Of an optimistic tone and the belief was expressed that the strike would; bo broken by Monday. Though production is generally slight on Sat- urday it was reported that many mines were working to capacity and a con- tinuance of the drift of union men back to tho mines was claimed. Though detailed figures on production of the past week are npt being made known, an order for the release of coal for ship bunkers gives an indication that there Is no real pinch at any point In the country yet. It was learned that conditions had developed to n point where in order to prevent the accumulation of other freight at tidewater points, thus tend- ing to congest railroad traffic, and In order to avoid accumulation of loaded coal cars, the Railroad Administration had duclded to permit bunkering of steamships under foreign flags at all of the tidewater points. This will clear much freight. Shipment of cargo coal to. foreign countries will not be permitted, however,. and no permits wlu be Issued for the bunkering of ships allocated to coat shipments. Such foreign vessels ns are furnished with bunker coal will be given only enough to reach the next port of call where, bunker facilities are avail- able. Loaded coal cars held by the Rail- road Administration have been backing up on sidings In the Eastern States ever since the priority order was placed In effect. They aro being cut out and delivered only to meet immediate needs. Consequently It seems that on the sea- board a there is more than enough coal for present requirements. Cabinet In Determined. Cabinet officials who have hand'ed the strike situation since its inclplency aro more determined than ever to prosecute the Administration programmo and to enforce the law. Reports from India-mpol- ls that Lewis and Secretary Grecno would obey tho Injunction order were fa vorably received. Several officials made It known that with the it rike off the Government would do everything In Its twwer to sett'e dlf- - forences between the miners rnd th ' Continued on Tucltl. lic. SEIZE HUNDREDS IN NEW RAIDS ON NEW YORK REDS Wagon Loads of Commun- ists Landed in Police Headquarters. LUSK COMMITTEE HELPS Rutgers Sqnaro Outbreak Pre vented and 65 Anarchists Sent to Ellis Island. A round up of anarchists and other revolut'onlsts and suspects on a scale much larger than New York has known before was begun 'last night, following tho imprisonment at Ellis Island of sixty-fiv- e known anarchists arrested Friday night by agents of tho Depart ment of Justice and tho police. All the seventy-on- e district headquarters of the Communist Party of America ro raided. By 12 o'clock more than 500 men had been dumped out of patrol wagons at Police Headquarters and taken up to tho trial room for questioning in tho presence of stenographers. About 200 of them were taken in a raid at a hall in Fifth street and were said to be members of the Communist Party, which was prevented from having a mass meeting in Rutgers Square in the afternoon. Five hundred policemen in pla'n clothes, directed by Sergeant James Gcgan, head of the bomb squad, armed with search warrants issued by Chief Magistrate JIcAdoo, good at any time of day or night, and acting under secret orders from Commissioner En-rig- began corralling the Rods at 9:30 p. M. The field covered was Man- hattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx. Samuel E. Merger, Deputy State Attorney-G- eneral, said at 1 o'clock this morn- ing, that 100 ot those detained for exam-..utlo- n had been ordered formally placed under arrest. The charge Is that of be- - ln crlml,n,al \archlaU. he said The raids were mado on the strength of evidence gathered by the Lusk com- mittee of the Legislature Members of the State police, who are not often called upon for service In the city, assisted in guarding the prisoners at headquarters. Among the Inquisitors were Senator Clayton It. Lusk, chairman of tho com- mittee; Archibald Stevenson, the com- mittee's chief Investigator; Samuel Borger, deputy Attorney General, and Inspector Faurot. The Department of Justice was said to bo cooperating in the night's doings, but none of its men was identified at headquarters early In the evening. Hwnrma of Police at Work. Intense activity in every polico pre- cinct Infested by revolutionary radicals was evident following a conferenco at headquarters of Commissioner Enrlght, Deputy Commissioner Lahey and repre sentatives of the Lusk committee. A shift and concentration of forces sent new squads of plain clothes men into the precincts marked for raids. At 9:30 1'. M. Sergeant Ucgan was back at Headquarters and tho place be- gan to hum. Members of the Lusk com mittee and the State police were on the heels of hurrying stenographers. Just I beforo 10 o'clock four patrol wagons, one containing ten captives, the others seventeen apiece, arrived from Fifth street. It was explained that they were not prisoners, but would be held at least until they had been examined. It was said that those against whom there was specific evidence would be held on a chargo of criminal anarchy. Most of the men taken in the Fifth street meeting place were Ukrainians. By 10:30 o'clock the prisoners In the Head quarters temporary pen numbered 210. They were coming in from Thompson hetreot, Manhattan, from several points In Brooklyn, The Rronx, from East Broadway, from . 160th street and Am- sterdam avenue and other rendezvous. The patrol wagons not laden with prisoners were groaning under the weight of socialist \literature which seemed to have defied the high cost of print paper. Several wagon loads of this stuff came from Thompson street. Big Jim Larkln, described cs an Irish ngltator, was found at his home in Mac-doug- al alley by Troopers Salz and Itncers of the State polico and taken to Headquarters, where it was said that .he British Consul refused a few days tgo to vise Larkln's passport for Kng-lan- d. A trooper said that Larkln was not under arrest. In fact none of ths raptlves were up to that time. Larkln said he was a member of the Communist party, but a citizen of the Irish republic and under Its protection. Ilnldx In Ilronx and Brooklyn.

FOSTER'S PLEA BRINGS1655000 Steel Strike Leader Stirs 5,000 at Madison Square Garden Meeting. UNIONS PLEDGE $315,000 Resolutions Denouncing De portations Arc Adopted Gathering Is Orderly, William Z. Foster, the steel strikers' secretary, told 5,000 members of New Vork city trade unions in Madison Square Garden lastl night the story of his ejection from Johnstown, Pa., on Friday, and ' then, with hands out stretched and his head thrown back, dramatically asked: \What are you going to do about it?\ In a remarkably short space of time the crowd gave in tho neighborhood of $165,000 in actual cash and immediate pledges of 5313.000. To augment the cash donations, tin basins were passed through tho crowd. Just how much this collection amounted to was not known. But the basins were spilling over and derby hata were rushed into the breach. In various sums from ten to one dollar bills, and even silver pieces, the contri- butions continued to pour forth even after Joseph D. Cannon, organizer for the Western Federation of Miners, ceased railing for money and tho next speaker took the platform. It was the most unusual Jabor demonstration ever seen In this city and one of the most enthu- siastic The money is to bo turned Into the treasury of the steel strikers' organiza- tion, and is the first effort of labor lead- - era to get 52,000,000 from New York c ty workers to help the striking steel and Iron workers. Money From Many Source. The mono camo from a hundred sources. The Actors' Equity Asso- ciation gave $250. Tho White Rats donated a ilko amount. A \friend of labor\ gave 100. Judge Jacob Pankcn donated $100. Tho former policemen of Boston who struck, and struck In vain, rent $10. The Intercollegiate Socialist Society gave $500. A reporter came in for a tremendous storm of hisses and applause by donating $5, nnd loud were the demands for the name of his news- paper. Kugeno Debs, Lenlne and Trotzky, Karl Leibknccht and innumcr- - abIe notables were remembered by \in mib name ui uumuiunff. But the great donations were made by three unions. The United Ladles Gar- ment Workers promised $250,000 and showed it meant it by presenting an Immediate Installment of $35,000, The Amalgamated Clothing Workers prom- ised a like sum and its Initial payment was $100,000 in cash. The Furriers Union gave a check for $10,000 and promised $10,000 more, and the Reefer Makers Union made a cash contribution of $10,000 with no promises. It was a thoroughly orderly, well con ducted meeting. From a standpoint of nationality the Jewish workers were overwhelmingly In the majority in the audience. Five American flags, and rfo others, decorated tho big hall, and the ushers wore red, white and blue ribbons on their coats. The police were out In. Impressive numbers. Tho garden was entirely surrounded by them and a dozen mounted patrolmen were stationed under the high platform inside the audi- torium. Foater I Dramatic. Foster's speech was dramatic. Is story was brief and frequently inter- rupted by demonstrations of approval of him and those he represented and hot disapproval of those he opposed. Judge Gary, head of tho United States Steel Corporation, the United States Senate, Judge Anderson and Johnstown, Pa., were burled beneath hoots and hlssea The mention of the word \reporter\ or of \newspaper\ was good for long hiss ing, and as for policemen the crowd showed vociferous dlsgUst. Tho former Doston policemen alono escaped such disapproval. Foster said ho was accosted at the station In Johnstown on Friday by a reporter, who told him he was In peril that a citizens' vigilance committee was waiting for him. He said he was on his way to the meeting placo when the vigilance committee, revolvers In hand, held him up, escorted him back to the railroad station and saw to It that he left for Altoona on the next train. Detec- tives told him, he said, that there'd be bloodshed If he attempted to speak, so decided to avert a disaster and obey the lgllance committee. ''The secretary of the Y. 31. C.

RIG VOTE RACKS ACTION Bill Repeals War Time Powers Over Shipping Granted to President. Special Deipatch to Tn Srx. Wabihnoto;;, Nov. S. Indicating the sentiment In Congress ngalnst a Gov ornment owned merchant marine, the House to-d- voted 238 to 8 for the Immediate sale to private American In terests of all the vessels built during the war by the United States Shipping Board and Kmergency Fleet Corporation or now In the possession of cither of these organizations. The bill as passed calls an Immediate halt on all construction work of the Government and orders tho Shipping Board and the Fleet Corporation to dis- pose of all property as soon as practi cable. Fractlcally no opposition was made to the plan on the floor, and the bill was passod In record time for such a com- prehensive measure. All the war pow- ers granted to the President over ship- ping are repealed by the bill. Tho ships now under the control of the Shipping Board, Including fifty-eig- vessels requisitioned from private own- ers, now total 1,280, Representative Greene (Mass.),. chairman of the Com- mittee on Merchant Marine, told the House.

D.), Randall (Cal.), Baer (N, D.), Griffin (N. Y.), Keller (Minn.), King (111.). McLano (Pa.) and Huddles-to- n (Ala.) Explaining the bill, Representative Edmonds (Pa.), a member of the com- mittee, said : \It directs the Shipping Board shall sell judiciously to citizens of the United States lt3 available merchant tonnage, taking Into consideration In the sale price- - the prevailing market prices for vtssels of a like character, and directs them to disregard the war cost of ves- sels In making these sales. If It Is found that tho market price Is lower than the cost of the vessels this will undoubtedly causa considerable' loss to the Govern ment, but when it ls taken Into 'con- sideration that with the present build- ing programme of the leading maritime nations of the world, there must come a time before long when all the tonnage necessary for tho carrying of the world's trade must be supplied, and when this time arrives shipping property will naturally be depreciated to tho present cost of building, which ls considerably less than the war cost paid by the\ Another section of the bill provides for establishment of a Government ma- rine Insurance bureau to protect\ the ships sold, nnd from this It Is hoped to develop American marine Insurance Independent of foreign Interests.

FINAL BALLOT 50 TO 35 Democrats Bitterly Charge That Affront Is Offered to Wilson. SEN. LENROOT IS OAUSTIO Chamberlain's Sudden Decision to Join tho Opposition Causes a Surprise. Special Detpatch to The Sdn. Washington, Nov. 8. Tho Lodgfi tteam roller demonstrated In tho Sen ate y tho highest efficiency. It mustered fifty Senators In favor ot the Foreign Relations Committee's reservation dealing with withdrawal from tho League ot Nations, exactly aa predicted In The Sun a fortnight ago. By tho vote of 60 to 35, after ft 'day's determined fighting, the second reservation of the committee pro- gramme was adopted. It was under the reservation that the right of with- drawal ls insured to bo unembar rassed by tho will or wish of any other nation than tho United States of America. Its text follows: Tho United' States so understands and construes Article 1 that In case of notice of withdrawal from the League of Nations, as provided in said article, the United States shall be the sole Judge as to whether all Its international obligations and all its obligations under the said cove- nant have been fulfilled, and notice of withdrawal by the United States may be given by a concurrent res- olution of the Congress of th United States. All AmendmentM Foil. In this form the reservation wai especially obnoxious to the Adminis- tration leaders, who marie repeated ef- forts' to modify and render it less ob- jectionable. Thoy pleaded that it was a direct affront to President Wilson, but in vain. At no tlmo did the Ad- ministration forces break through line. They tried every possible play, but failed every time. It was a field day for the enemies of tho unaltered treaty. Yesterday it had been feared there would be a very close vote on the withdrawal resolu- tion. Hut y tho Administration phalanx crumbled In unexpected fashion and the degree of Its defeat satisfied the Republican leaders. For the first time on such a test the solid Republican vote was mustered under tho leadership of Senator Lodge, while of tho Democrats, Chamberlain (Ore.), Gore (Okla.), Reed (Mo.), Smith (Ga.), Walsh (Muss.) and Shields (Tenn.) voted with the Repub licans. The unexpected gain for tho reserva- tion cause was Senator Chamberlain. There was a hum of astonishment when ho cast his vote on the final roll call for the reservation. He had confided to nobody until a few hours before that ho was going to desert the Administration in this crisis. Later It was learned thai he ls determined to Hupport a number of other reservations, Including the mosv vital ones. .SmlthS Viite Kxiiet'trri. Senator Smith (Ga.) has been instru- mental In framing the withdrawal reser-vatlo- n and his support for It was ex- pected. The attitudes ot the other Democrats caused no surprise. The lineup shows the Senato divided 55 for to il against the reservation voted on The figure has a special significance In view ot tho fae; that nearly three, weeks ago Senator Lodge predlrU-- that that exact division would be produced. 's result was accepted by Senator Lodge and other leaders as assuring that nil the reserva- tions that havo been made part of tho programme will bc adopted. One word 111 the reservation that tho storm centre of the fighting was \concurrent\ A concurrent resolu- tion Is simply a resolution of the two houses of Congress not requiring ths approval or signature of the President and therefore not subject to his veto. Congress, by a majority In both houses, may take tho United States out of the leaguo regardless of tho wish of the President. That tho provision of a concurrent resolution was a direct nffront to the Prerident van repcatodly asserted by Administration spokesmen. To that chargo spirited replies were made. Ben-rto- Walsh (Mon.), Robinson (Ark.) nnd Thomas (Col.) protested against It. They urged that it was a partlo-ula- rl objectionable method of exclud- ing the President from a most Import-i- i nt part In the treaty administering power In which he Is made coordinate the Senate.
