The President 5 Action.

All possibility of mitconstruing the
Presidents action in regard to the coal
strike is prevented by the phrasing of
his invitation to the leaders Of the op-
posing forces engaged in it. He asks
them to confer with him Sin regard to
the failure of the coal supply, which
has become matter of vital concern 10
the whole nation" No intelligent per-
son can deny the literal truth of that
assertion. There is a failure of the
coal supply, and it has become matter
of vital concern to the whole nation,
for it threatens not only the health and
comfort of the people, but menaces
social order in every city of the land.
This is question which transcends
all others involved in the strike, and
which is of such obvious proportions as
to warrant the Presidents recognition
of it on the broad ground of the public
welfale.
1t is on this ground alone that he
has taken a step which; he admits frank
ly, is unprecedented. That in taking
it he-has responded to an Overwhelming
popular desire cannot be questioned.
1t is pure folly for President Baer to
assert, as he did few days ago, that
there IS no coal famine impending. Eve
ry man and woman in the U. S. wha
uses coal knows that the famine is not
only impending, but is an actuality. A
day or t.o of sharp, cold weather would,
even at this early day, precipitate a
panic and SOW the seeds of riot when
the rigors of winter come upon us.
There is not governor of state or a
mayor of a city who does not know
that this menace hangs over the nation
and is Intensified by every hour of de-
Law in ending the strike.
What could be more certain than that
popular sentiment should become az
oused On this question? Is rot every
h Juseholder in the States taxed heavily
for the continuation of the strike
When, in addition to that tax, he is
olfr onted with winter of suffering
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1902-10-11

and illness for himself and his family
is it any wonder that he becomes i'm
patient and demands that something
unusual, heroic even, be done to put an
end to a situation that has become not
merely intolerable, but dangerous The
rights for which the coal operators are
battling, important and just as they
are, must be weighed in connection
with the recognized peril to the health
and safety of the whole American
people.
The operators will now have oppor-
tunity to lay before President Roose-
welt the exact facts about the protection
which the state of Pennsylvania is af-
fording them, and the exact facts about
the amount of coal they are producing
and would be able to produce if they
had absolute protection for men willing
to work. If the can convince the
President that such protection is all
that is needed to enable them to work
their mines to full capacity, there is
not particle of doubt that he, so far
as lies in his rower, will see to it that
they have it.
The President, quick as he always
is to respond to a call Of duty, is CON
vinced that the time has come when he
she uld Use all the moral influence he
possesses as the head of the nation to
break the deadlock. That he has no
legal right he is perfectly well aware,
land has been from the moment he took
up the question.
He does not propose, as the wording
of his invitations shows, to decide which
side of the contest is right and which
wrong, but he does propose to do all
that he can to have the production of
coal resumed to its fullest possible ca
pacity without delay. The attention of
the entire country will be concentrated
upon the conference, and the President
will enter upon his task not only with
the approval but with the full conf
dence of the people in his sincerity and
his absolute impartiality. Under these
conditions the moral force of his rec
concentrations will be so great that it
is inconceivable that either party 10 the
contest would take the responsibility of
refusing to adopt them.
