SPRINGFIELD. Nov. 3. Uoth
Frank Farrington, president of the
Illinois (Idniit of mine workers, and
mine operators here had reports to
dav which showed the mines of the
stale closed down without excep
tion "Not a miner in the state is
working." President Farrington said.
"This, of course, excepts those who
have been detailed to take care of
plants.
T have not as yet been served
with the writ, of injunction and
there will be no material difference
wliun I am I thiuk the govern
ment's action is shortsighted and Ill
advised. If the government has no
plans for thu settlement of the
strike except the Issuance of re
straining orders and kindred courses,
the strike Is predestined to run
through many bitter days, as the
miners are free men and will not be
driven to their work like slaves."

Reports from most of the larger

The operators admitted that the
