L Open Insurrection Against British Government is Threatened in South Africa SMUTS POWERLESS Johannesburg. March 11 — The ! mine war which has blazed up over M<ethod Of Saving Coal Situation Outlined By Federal Officialdom Washington, IVtarch 11.—A plan to prevent the public from suffering, if the 530,000 union miners strike April 1, as threatened, is being outlined by government officials. Arous¬ ed by the failure of bituminous operators to respond thus far to the government call for a national wage conference, cabi¬ net members planned action to save the nation from threatened fuel famine. Attorney General Daugherty may be called upon to carry the matter to the courts,—after the walkout, it is said. Until the strike the government cannot appeal to legal au¬ thority to force conciliation in esther the camp of the miners or that of the operators. Mandnnuis proceedings before the strike are impossible,, it was officially stated. The.only law under which the government can prdceed Is the statute pro-viding for the operation of the nation's 'vital industries. Officials were surprised at reports that the gov¬ ernment plimned immediate couit action to draw the bitum¬ inous operators into conference. Labor is staunchly opposed to the injunction practice in any case, they stated.

The fact that Boers have elded with the strikers and taken part in the flghting. including the capture of towns, lends weight to suggestions that the trouble may be more serious than a battle between strikers and polioe.

The government, while urging th<j conference, does not have any means ot enforcing such a conference. If the conference plan collapses, .as seems probable, the government is prep.ared to propose arbitration through a commls:iion which the President will appoint This com¬ mission will be made up of one or two operators to be named hy the opf.'Jiors and one or more miners to be njimed ^y the union. The chair- mau is fo be named by Ihe President. Should the atriko take place, the admiul.stration will consider court ' action to restrain the men from quif- ting. It is realized by the tabuu:. according to high authority, how¬ ever, that this would not tn itself , keep the mines working. The men 1 could not be forced to work, but I strike benefits could be tied up, handicapping officers of the union. Beyond this the administration t\sut not looked. It can Ue stated on hlKh- est authority that if u strike come;* j the President will have cabinet ad- I vlco to assume sufficient control of I the coal mining industry to assure the country of a coal supply. The first consideration would be j the operation of the railroads. They I must not be paralyzed. It Is as.-ti rted here.
