GOVERNMENT READY
FOR COAL STRIKERS
—_

expected that the Federal Govern

it is understood that proceedings
are soon to be started, with a view
chiefly of hastening the termination
jof the coal strike.

the settlement of individual cases,
which might encourage a strike, or
an agreement by any two members
to refrain from working, constitute
a violation of the injunction.
