MUST DIG COAL.
Roosevelt Seeks Plan to Force Settle
ment of Miners Strike.

1t was decided at a conference of cabi-
net members and Gov. Crane with the
President that President Roosevelt will
take hand in settling the coal strike.
According to Washington dispatch, the
agreement was reached that the coal
strike is a national calamity, running the
country's business and seriously affecting
every home in the land, and it must be
stopped 1t is said the first attempt will
be made along the lines of moral suasion.
Even if the interested parties hesitate
about accepting a reasonable compromise
it is believed the presentation of a propo-
sition by President Roosevelt will bring
the controversy to direct issue, and pub
lie opinion will be so strong in favor of
it's adoption that both the miners and
mine owners will be forced to make con-
cessions and end a situation which has
become intolerable.
If moral influence is not successful then
the President will resort to legal means
and every law upor the statute books
which has any bearing on the situation
will be invoked for the purpose of bring
ing about a resumption of work in the
mines and giving relief to the people. Just
what the powers of the federal govern
ment III the premises are VIII neceSsltate
thorough search of the statutes to de-
termine and instructions have been given
by the President to the Attorney General
to prepare to make a winning fight
against the coal companies.
1t may be necessary to call an extra
session of Congress. An extraordinary
session of Congress will be called if there
is no other means to reach the trouble.
Attorney General Knox, who will devote
| his time to this important question to
the exclusion of everything else, is of the
opinion that laws already exist which can
be utilized in forcing a cessation of the
strike if moral influences do not prevail.
