H. Anderson in Indian apolis Saturday ordering calling off of the strike. Officials of the mine workers, including .Acting President John 1.. Lewis, ami Secretary-Treasurer William Green, late last night declined to discuss the action of the federation's executive council and de clared Ihi'y would have no statement to intake, nrior to the meeting today. Today's meeting set for 10 o'clock this morning, was called following the is suance of Judge Anderson's order. The call sent out hy the union heads was di rected to all district presidents, members of the executive board of the organiza tion and the entire personied of the mill era' scale committee. Several memhers of the general com mittee arrived last night and early this morning, but would not comment on the strike situation. The majo'ity of the miners' officials seemed to take their nit from the state ment issued last night by John I.. Lewis, acting president of the mine workers, in which he said " statements to the effect -v,a I itinll or shall not comply with the ....i.,..r.. r -di,,., of the injunction I 'i .'..oth.,ri7ed and i.remnt.ire."

One of the spokesmen for the miners' organization said he doubted if Acting President Lewis and his associates had the power, even if they had the inclina tion, to comply with the mandate. ' ' The strike was ordered by a delegate convention in the event the operators re fused to grant our demands," the spokes man, said, ' ' and Lewis merely carried out instructions in ordering the strike. The convention must call it off." Frank Morrison, secretary of the Am erican' Federation of Labor, declined to add anything to. the statement issued last night by the executive council, support ing the" striking miners and demanding that the government withdraw the injunc tion proceedings. "That was the statement of the execu tive council and it speaks for itself." Morrison said.

(J3y The Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 The Amer ican Federation of Lalxir stood today be fore the country ns an umpualifled ia dorser of the strike of soft coal miners and as bitterly opposed to the action of the government in attempting to end th strike through injunction proceedings .which action it characterized . as "so autocratic as to stagger the human mind. Indorsement of the strike was an nounced last night in a statement is sued by the executive council of the federation, which pledged to the strikers the full support of organized labor and appealed to the citizenship of Vhe coun try to give like "indorsement and aid to the men engaged in this momentous struggle. ' ' After going into the history of events lending up to the strike and since, the statement declared the course of the government in scuring a court order at Indianapolis Saturday directing officials of the miners' organization to call off the strike tomorrow night uu invasion of the rights of the miners and demanded the withdrawal of the injunction. Use of the Lever act under which the court proceedings were instituted was severely condemned as "an injustice' to all lib erty loving Americans."

The statement conclud ed v illi the appeal to all citi.ens to sup port the strikers and promised support of organized labor. NO CHANGE IN PROGRAM OF TREATY DISCUSSION I (Hy The Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Nov. ID With ap ian at l.v little change in the program of proiedure developed over the week-end icpiti iiieriMsing pressure from mem bers who desire early final action so they might have a recess liefore the reg ular session of congress begins in three weeks, opposing factions in the jieace treaty ratification debate are still far a part on the reservation relating to article ' In of league of nations covenant, which the communist party in their possession, was recommended by the foreign re- i lations committee and which the admin- istration senators desired most of all ' to defeat. ' The only step discussed today that might hasten consideration of the treaty was the possibility that ro ublican lead ers might propose cloture to curtail the protracted debate. In this plan they were said to be supported by a number of democrats. WASHINGTON. Nov. In Except for the transportation of one phrase, the res ervation to article ten is the same as that i ; h Pies!. lent Wilson declared during !'is western trip he would regard as a rej. . to, u of the treaty. Its test follows: "The Cnited States assumes no obli gation to preserve the territorial integ rity or political independence of any other country or to interfere in eontro- versies lietween nations, whether members "f the league or not, under the provis ions cf article ten or to employ the mil- nary or naval forces of the L'nited States under any article of the treaty for any ' purpose, unless in any particular ease the congress, which, under the constitution. has the sole power to declare authorize the employment of the military or naval forces of the United States- shall by act or joint resolutions so pro- vide.
