AMEWl CASE W UP TO-DAY RUMORS THAT IT MAY GO OVER AT INDIANAPOLIS FOR ONE WEEK GOMPERS AND AMES CLASH Promise Made That If Injunction I Withdraw Miners Will Co To Work. Washington, Nov. 7. Still hoping that court developments at Indianap olis Saturday night point the way to an early ending of the coal strike, Government agents nevertheless put forward renewed and more deter mined efforts yesterday to protect the public against distiess almost certain to result from a protracted suspension of mining operations. Realizing that the country is burn ing about three times as much coal as the mines are turning out, the railroad administration, the great coal distributing agency, through its recently created central coal com mittee took drastic action in order ing that the supplying of coal to foreign-owned ships in American ports be stopped immediately. With calls for assistance from com munities suffering from a coal short u ace growing more numerous, mi; railroad administration turned loose every available car to meet the ap peals. rusule for fuel znfa Wvino- Wnshincton forlthp world at large, that tee ih-nuna iv iiii, ' ' - O Indianapolis Assistant Attorney Gen-1 eral Ames, in charge of the Govern-! mpnt's case, declared there was no change in its policy toward the strike and that he would endeavor to obtain a renewal of its temporary injunction. There were rumors, apparently emanating from high sources, that the iniunction hearing set for Sat urday might go over one week with out nreiudice to either side. Equal ly persistently were reports that Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amer if an' Federation of Labor, would make a personal appeal to Attorney General Palmer tomorrow for with drawal of the restraining order and all court proceedings on assurances that if this were done the strike could be settled and the men put to work in the mines in forty-eight hours. Mr. Palmer was out of the city, but the statement by Judge Ames that the Government would not compromise the strike, which it held illegal, was accepted as the last word on the subject. N,o Radical Change, However, and Morrow's Lead Will Be 27,000. Additional returns from the race for Governor only served to increase the majority of Edwin P. Morrow, Republican, over James D. Black, Democrat, and it is probable that the official count will show a major ity for the Republicans of over 27,- coo. Pendleton county, in the Sixth district, has been heard from and gives Gov. Black a majority of less than 100, thus effectively putting the quietus on any hope that might have remained of the Democrats carrying the Sixth District. Morrow carried the Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Tenth and Elev enth Districts, while Gov. Black re ceived majorities""in the First, Sec ond, Seventh and Eighth. MOVE TO THIS CITY. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 7 Attor npv General Palmer, in a statement issued in advance of the fair price- conference called by Governor,. -Sproul, declared that profiteering: : and hoarding are responsible for a -considerable part of the prevailing high prices.

L'ai ber speaking before a meeting of the. fair price committee, mayors cf ci-r-ties and state officials of Pen nsy Ivan- -ia here, declared that if the people would increase their saving by 10 -per cent, the cost of living would i fall 20 per cent in a brief period of ..' time. Mr. Palmer attacked the "buy now" campaign, declaring that "cu'i job is to wait, both in cur intercut o,i tho inrpvpst nf the nation. and aiiu in v"1- - ' may be lightened." He calhd upon, the "plain people" to wear Heir old clothes a little longer, to ufe-- to buy until production had caiight up with the demand. Unless the people themselves take this step the attor ney general said, the nati:i eannot expect to have anything brt diw.'om- -fort and disorder. Mr. Palmer urged that tee country vigorously support "some, of the wrw ly proposed legislation "wHicH w.oukk place the strong arm of the j;ov rn ment over powerful 'corporation."" He spoke of the proposed licensing of institutions doing ; an int rstates . business and the pending bills pro viding for marking, costs on package goods. If the production co ts wcfi known, he said, the American tTl of being stubborn will end a lot of gouging for a few of us will be driv en into anything. Labor was called to account for any lethargy in production by Mr. Palmer. He brandedi idlers as sin ners, and declared idlers could re sult in only one thing, at this timev . discontent. "This is a critical hour in. the life of our country," he continued, The test is being made whether the gov- - errnment has the right and the row er to protect all the people fforn a . national disaster which would be in- - flicted upon them by a single group for its own advantage." Mr. Palmer said that the coal strike involves more than a dispute over wages, hours or conditions u capital; that the offer of a peacefuE settlement has been rejected and 1 that the government face the alter native of submitting to demands of . a group or "challenging the asser tion by that group, of powei greater than that of the government iWdf."
