Should 1t be true that the coal opera
tors had really had enough of the situa-
fion and were looking about for some
thing to turn up to give them founda-
ton for beginning conferences with the
the strikers. the Presidents action will
be exceedingly pleasing to this class. On
the other hand, it will undoubtedly be
most acceptable to the coal miners, who
had begun to grow desperate. and the
general public will feel a keen sense of
gratitude. The only possible political mis-
kake the President could have made is
that his action has been taken withou,
the desire of the coal operators them
