WASHINGTON, November 7.—-The injunction against the bituminous coal strikers continues to be the only visible sign of the contest between labor and the authorities. The second round is expected to take place in the courts on Saturday. The Government officials took another look at the stock re- ports this morning and while these indicated coal enough to meet immediate needs, the fact stared them in the face that the daily consumption was about 10,000,000 tons while the daily output has been reduced by the strike to 3,500,000 tons, It has been decided that while vessels flying the American flag will continue to receive fue! supplies “for the time being,” all other vessels_will be compelled to await the end of the minene strike.

P. Telegrapns.) OTTAWA, November 7.—A spirit of independence marked the proceedings of both chambers of Parliament during yester- day. Old time frequenters of the galleries were shocked when listening to the debates. There was difficulty in Aistinguishing on which side sat the Government and on which the opposition. The Senate bull-moosed and the Commons insurged. In the former chamber there are nine Government members openly opposed to the Grand Trunk bill. In the latter there was a goodly majority of ali Government supporters who differed in a greater or less degree from the report of the civil re-establishment com- mittee. : * In the Senate the Government was supposed to have a ma- jority ef about twenty, but the administration will be well satisfied if it secures a majority of four on the bill and is bringing in two new senators, Colonel Grant White and W. A. Proudfoot, to make sure. Another clear-cut intimation that the Unionist Government providing additional gratuity for returned men, came from Hon. J. A. Calder, chairman of the special soldiers’ committee. The minister said that members should vote as they saw fit, but, he added, if members signify disapproval of the Government’s stand by voting down its policy “then another Government will have to carry on.” . The majority of the members heard from appear to favor Major Andrews’ amendment to the motion for the adoption of the report of the committee. This would substitute the G. W. V. A. plan for the committee’s proposals. REVOLUTION FARMER LEADS — WAS PLANNED CONSERVATIVES To Have Been Communist ~ G.
