undilions which prevailed at lli
time of the strike on last April 1.
that emy question in dispute should
go to a national commission to be
composed of three representatives of
the mine workers, three represent
lives of the. operators and five rep
rrientatives of the Ameriran people.
Inquiry Proposed.
"It was proponed to make the
commission the final authority on all
disputes until next March, and mean
while the commission was to inau.
Riiratt a searching inquiry into every
ohase of the coal industry in order
to recommend the way to maintained
understanding between workmen and
employers, to promote steady em
ployment and assure a continuous
and ample fuel supply.
"The failure to secure the accept
ance of this proposal for a voluntary
adjustment left me no other course
but to invite the mine operatori to
return to their mines and resume
activities.
"I trust you will find it consistent
to second this invitation, if you have
not already done so. with the invita
tion to all miners and operators to
resume their work. This invitation
should be accompanied by such as
surance ot maintained order and the
protection of lawful endeavor as will
gfvt assurance to everybody con
cerned. Pledge Pull Support
, "I want to convey to you in this
message the assurance of the prompt
and full support of the federal gov
ernment whenever and wherever you
find your own agenciea of law and
ofder inadequate to meet the .situa
tion. .''Your state government and the
federal government are responsible
for maintained conditions under
which free men, willing to work, may
work in safety. We are responsible
for the production and the transporta
tion of a fuel supply ample for the
necessities of the American people
and the public utilities which serve
them, particularly the railways en
gaged in interstate commerce. We
must have ample coal to maintain
industrial activity; we must have
the coal necessary to the health, se
curity and the activity of all the peo
ple. I recite to you these details be
cause it is important to have it un
derstood how far the federal gov
ernment has gone in seeking a volun
tary adjustment. Thus far there has
been no challenge of the right of
workers to decline employment or
the right of employers to hire as they
elect.
Security Guaranteed.
"Our present duty is to guarantee
security in the exercise of these
rights, security in all lawful opera
tions and. afford a safe opportunity
for the production and distribution
demanded by the necessities of the
American people.
-TfThere has ben; no government
assumption of a pa,rt in the dispute
between organized workers and or
ganized employers. I did offer the
only available agency which I knew
to effect a settlement and these good
offices have not availed.
"It becomes necessary, in the name
of common welfare, to invite protec
tion in the fulfillment of that obli
gation which attaches to an American
industry in providing any public
nrcfitiiy and to afford security to
all mm alike who are ready and
willing to work and serve the com
mon need. No rau is so Impor
tant at that of the common welfare,
and there must be the suppression of
every unlawful hindrance to the
service of that cause. To the task
of lawful protection and the main
tenance ot order, t ne federal govern
ment pledges n ou every assistance
at its command.

"WAR REX U HARDING."
WiU Not Chante Situation.
John I.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, issued a state
ment in which he declared that the
president's policy would not change
the attitude ot the miners and pre
dicted that it would not produce coaL
"This attitude of the government
will in no manner change the pom
tion of the mine workers or result in
the termination of the strike," said
Mr. Lewis. "Men voluntarily on
strike will not return to work mere
ly because armed guards are placed
around the mines. No question of
law and order is involved, because
the mine workers are observing the
law and no troops are necessary.
'The men were free to return to
work at any time during the 16 weeks
ot the strike.
"This action of the federal govern
ment is merely a gesture, which will
not produce coai in any suDsiannai
Quantity. The mine - workers will
continue on strike until some honora
ble avenue of settlement, in accord
with the principles of collective bar
gaining, is offered them.
"We are ready now, as we have
been since last December, to join
in any constructive move for the ad
justment of this situation."
Operator Silent
At the operators' headquarters an
nouncement was made that there
would be no statement commenting
on the president's telegram.
While the president s address to
the governors was on its way out to
the country, reports of a new peace
move began to circulate. Informa
tion came from reliable sources to
the effect that some of the "insur
gents" among the operators who
wanted to accept the president' set
tlement plan unconditionally were
about to open negotiations directly
with the mine workers. It was con
sidered doubtful, however, whether
any real results would be accom
plished. Deputy Grand Master Is

Early reports indicated a tight vote
