SIFT GOAL STRIKE FfflTIE 3G0R Failure to Heed Edict Will Find Leaders in Contempt of Court MEETING HURRIEDLY CALLED INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 8. Cancellation of the strike order which, since midnight of October 1, has kept 400,000 union bituminous miners out of the coal pits of the country, was ordered by Judge A. B. Anderson in the Federal district court today.

Violation of the war-time Federal troop and fuel contract act, as alleged by the attorney general's department, was affirmed by the court, who said that the strike was not only illegal, but that under the circumstances it approached rebellion.

Outrushing their hereditary foemen from Washington. an4 Jefferson by 317 yards to 165, registering 14 earned first downs tp the Red and Black's eight, crashing against their foe's goal line on six separate occasions to the three visits Wa3h-Jeff made deep in Blue and Gold territory, the Panthers of Pitt had to be content with a purely nominal 7-to-6 victory in their annual meeting at Forbes Field yesterday.

Only a poorly executed attempt at a goal after -touchdown prevented Morrow's outplayed eleven from retiring to their Little Washington stronghold even up with Warner's patched-up, portable power plant. But such are the inscrutable ways of the blind fate that determines scores this year, and, withal, the Pittites are content, for did they not take the measure of the Red and jilack eleven which defeated Syracuse after Syracuse had beaten Pitt, and is it not the fifth consecutive victory that Pitt has achieved over that ancient foef There is also a notable difference in the scoring of the two touchdowns that adorned the game. The Panthers got theirs by rushing the ball, in a splendid, diversified attack, from their own side of the mid-field to the Washington goal, and over.

P. SENATORS STAND AS UNIT, PASSING FIRST RESERVATION TO PEACE PACT Five Democrats Vote With Majority Party. U. S. GIVEN RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL WASHINGTON, Nov.

8. A reservation purposing to safeguard the Nation's right to withdraw from membership in the League of Nations was adopted by the Senate today with every Republican senator and six Democrats voting for it or paired in its support. Holding the whip hand by a safe majority, the Republican leaders swept aside every suggested modification and carried the reservation through exactly as approved by the foreign relations committee. Two Republican senators of the mild reservation group led a stubborn fight to alter it, but after they had failed, voted for adoption. The final count was 50 to 35, and pairs announced for the absentees showed the entire Senate membership to be divided 55 to 41.

Five Democratic senators. Reed, Missouri; Gore, Oklahoma; Smith, Georgia; "Walsh, Massachusetts, and Chamberlain, Oregon, voted in the affirmative, with Senator Shields, Democrat, Tennessee, paired in favor of the reservation. The one passed was the first of 14 amendments proposed by the foreign relations committee to carry out a program which its sponsors say has been pledged a safe majority throughout. The reservation provides: RESERVATION'S TEXT. "The United States so understands and construes article one that in case of notice of withdrawal from the League of Nations, as provided in said article, the United States shall be the sole judge as to whether all its international obligations have been fulfilled, and notice of withdrawal by the United States may be given by a concurrent resolution of the Congresses of the United States." The first attempt to aiter the foreign relations committee's withdrawal reservation faild by a vote of 68 to 18.

The roll call was on a motion by Senator Gore, Democrat, Oklahoma, to modify the provision empowering Congress to give notice of withdrawal by concurrent resolution. It got scattering support from both Democratic and Republican senators. The Senate then rejected jy a vote 1j to 2S a motion by Senator Nelson. Republican, Minnesota, to permit such a notice by joint resolution instead of concurrent, so the signature of the President would be required. The motion commanded the support of only the Republicans, Senators Nelson and McCumber, of North Dakota, while three Democrats.

Senators Reed, Missouri Gore of Oklahoma, and Smith of Georgia, voted with the majority. By a vote of 49 to 37 the Senate refused to strike out entirely the provision for Congressional notice of withdrawal. On this roll call, the Republicans stood solidly against the motion and were joined by Senators Gore. Reed Smith of Georgia, and Walsh, of Massachusetts, ail Democrats. Another amendment by Senator King, Democrat, Utah, extending the withdrawal provisions to all members of the league was rejected 62 to 30.

Stolen Vehicle Bill Made Law Effective Without President's Signature Others Signed. WASHINGTON, Nov. S. Announcement was made that the National motor vehicle law, penalizing persons who transport stolen automobiles from one state to another, had become a law without President Wilson's signature. Two other bills, one providing indemnity to colored Citizens whose arms and ammunition were seized by Federal troops during the 1914 coal strike and the other, providing for reclamation of arid Nevada lands, became law today with the President's signature.

A number of minor measures also ber came effective without the President's signature, including the extension of Federal steam vessel regulations to shipping board vessels and that granting lands for school purposes on Government town sites. DURING THE DAY yesterday. That they were not there in vain is indicated by the fact that 25 men were locked up in No. 4 station, on charges of scalping, in about one hour. That was the primary cause of the lamenting and the moaning.

Hut the more immediate cause of the laments, and the direct cause of the cursing and threatening was the fact that the desk sergeant an exceedingly urbane and implacable sort of a chap, amid all the hub-bub demanded from each of the 30 "profiteers" the sum of $100 as a forfeit-Inside the moan was: "Honest, I wasn't gonna sell 'em." Outside it ran: "I'll get that guy." The gentry inside were the ones who hadn't raised the 1100 yet; those outside were the ones who had, and were "taking it out" in bellowing. An hour before the game started, the little parade to No. 4 had started. No. 4 Is rather Ideally situated for those purposes, being only a block and a half (Continued on Page Two, Col.

ROLL CALL ENDS TUESDAY NIGHT If every resident in Allegheny county does not enroll in the Red Cross 1920 drive, it will not be because the workers of Pittsburgh chapter failed to give everyone the opportunity to join. While there are not so many workers in the present membership campaign, there were at least 10,000 men and women engaged as active workers during the week just ended. With smaller numbers the workers covered larger territories and conducted more intensive campaigns in their districts. This effort will be continued through Tuesday night, when the third roll call ends.

Aside from the house-to-ho'use canvass made throughout the residential districts of the county, the Red Cross has had membership enrollment booths in various places and has had its workers in stores, office buildings and all other places where people congregate.

Tonight, therefore, the union leaders are under orders to meet here Monday, draw up a cancellation of the strike order, submit it for Judge Anderson's approval by 10 a. m.

8. Fed eral Judge Anderson's order to the officers of the miners' union to withdraw their strike order was received by National labor leaders here apparently with surprise. They had believed the strike case could be withdrawn from the court and settled outside. The court's ruling, however, was accepted without comment, and in the belief that the strikers would be at work not later than next Thursday. The statement by officers of the United Mine Workers that they, had no" desire to fight the Government was accepted generally as the feeling and attitude of, the men.

Department of justice officials said tonight they believed the officers of the miners' organization who called the strike would formally issue the cancellation notice at their meeting at Indianapolis Monday morning. Announcement by counsel for the miners that Acting President Lewis unquestionably would abide by the court's order indicated, according to most labor leaders, that the men would return to work when Lewis directed. Reports from the mining regions showed little or no change in the general situation, although operators claimed considerable improvement in some states, Ale-bama and West Virginia. All Government agencies charged with the duty of protecting the public and seeing that coal reached points in need of it, went forward with their plans without regard to court developments. The "Geological Survey," in its weekly summary of bituminous production, showed that up to the moment they walked out the miners worked faithfully and in the tive-day period up to November 1 turned out the greatest tonnage of coal ever mined in a similar period in this country.

The output was about equal to actual capacity. After the strike started production dropped to the point where a great cold wave sweeping over the country would have cut deeply iti the and caused untold distress and 'suffering. Car Receivers Denied Rehearing on Busses The receivers for the Pittsburgh Railways Company are denied a rehearing in their complaint against the Pittsburgh Transportation Company, operating- a line of auto busses, in an order made yesterday by the state public service commission at Harrisburg. The receivers for the railways com- pany on the original petition, which asserted the auto bus company exceeded its rights to use of jFtreets granted by the commission, wei-e denied relief by the commission. which the official vote has not been received upon the ratification referendum are Cuyahoga.

(Cleveland) and Hamilton (Cincinnati), both of which returned large wet majorities. However, advices from those counties said that in Cleveland the canvass of the vote had been complete without disclosing any large errors, and that in Cincinnati approximately 16 wards had been canvassed without any big errors having been discovered. As the situation stood tonight, the drys conceded the defeat of the Crabbe enforcement act, while the wets conceded the defeat of the prohibition repeal and 2.75 per cent beer proposals. Both wets and drys, however, continued to make claims of victory on the ratification referendum. Both contended that official count would show them ORDERS comprtsbed Ks ends, even if the Pazrth- ers did fall to score on ilve other rushes.

The Washington and Jefferson touchdown will go down in history as a glorious, almost single-handed effort of that rupcr-man of the gridiron, Captain Carroll, who broke through and blocked a punt within Pltfs 10- i yard line after the third WaehxJeff drive had broken down upon the rocks of Pitt's defense. It -was Wickerham that carried the ball ever, 30 ARE ARRESTED And then, if one wanted to see the other side of football, one went over to Number Four. Number Four police station, for all purposes yesterday, was the purgatory of the ticket-scalper. It had the true purgatorial flavor. There was a moaning and a lamenting, inside, and a cursing and covert threatening, outside.

Sordid enough, and repulsive enough, but it was also maudlin in a rather ghoulish manner almost like a corpse in bangles, what with the trappings of football all around the station house: the gay yellow "mums" and the rooting ribbons, and the swagger sticks, and the tiny enameled footballs. For the police went out to protect Pitt's honor yesterday. Pitt's honor demanded that. In view of certain circumstances, there be no ticket scalping at this game. So the district immediately around Forbes Field fairly swarmed with plainclotb.es-men and detectives during several hours before and just after the game began U.

Inaugurating a general warfare on radical aliens advocating forcible overthrow of the Government, agents of the department of justice, assisted by the immigration bureau, rounded up nearly 500 men and women in raids last night and today in more than a score of cities, including the National capital itself.

More than 200 of those arrested will be held for deportation and it was announced at the department of justice that it was the intention to request the department of labor to deport all aliens found to be engaged in radical activities.

To back up their charges that some of their employers were profiteering, striking butchers today opened a large retail shop and sold porterhouse steak at IS cents a pound, veal chops at IS cents a pound and hamburger steak at 10 cents a pound. Other meats were sold at a correspondingly low price and the union butchers declared that, although the figures were from 30 to 73 per cent below the prices charged. by a majority of retail dealers, the strikers were making a fair profit on their sales. The union butchers are demanding an increase from $35 to $40 a week in their minimum weekly wage. but only after Carroll bad stumbled to within a step of the Pitt line, fallen 4 MINE WORKERS' OFFICERS HERE ARE CALLED TO INDIANAPOLIS FOR MEETING Action Expected on Court Order to Stop Strike.

Telegrams summoning district presidents of tivo union and members of the executive board and the central competitive field scale committee to meet hert Monday, were dispatched a few hours Judge Anderson's sweeping mandate had been issued. Union officials here would not comment upon the court action. "Not a word" said John J. Lewis, acting president of the big organization and his colleagues were even less communicative.

A shake of the head, sometimes accompanied by a grim smile, was as far as they m-lshed to go towards indicating what they thought of the situation. C. B. Ames, assistant attorney gen eral, who conducted the case for the Government, ajso smiled, but more cheerfully than the union men, when asked for comment, and said: "The decision speaks for itself." Attorneys for the union fought a losing fight from the start of the proceedings. First they moved postponement for a week, indicating that there was a chance for settlement of the strike by that time.

Mr. Ames objected to pt'iitponement and the court ordered the ease to proceed. Then the Government introduced five affidavits as evidence that the operation of the railroads was being interfered with and that contracts between em- (Conttnw on Page Two, Col. Three.) Validity Of War Dry Act In Doubt Federal Judge Dubious But Issue Not at Stake. NEW YORK.

Nov. 8." Genuine doubt" as to the validity of the war- ime prohibition act, already held unconstitutional by a United States district court in Kentucky, was expressed here today by Federal Judge L. A. Hand. The opinion was given during the hearing of arguments on a motion to vacate an injunction classifying the Eastern hotel as a "public nuisance" under the Volstead law.

The question of the validity of the law was put aside by the judge as not coming within the scope of the hearing, but considerable importance was attached to his words, as he had reserved last week on three motions to have war-time prohibition declared unconstitutional.
