Editorial Opinion
oUTLAwING THE COAL STRIKE.

From the New York Tribune
What the President said. bluntly and
with no mincing Of words, TO the
Bridgeport strikers, DR.. Garfield has
said TO the striking anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania:
First-That he will not confer with
them nor take any step in their behalf
so long as they continue to strike.
Second That they will be held per-
sonally and strictly responsible.
Il is an extremely difficult thing to
bring all the units In a nation OF
i0O000,O0O 10 realize what war means; ;
that 10 means team work and that the
cooperation Of every unit is absolutely
essential to success.
We cannot fight this war without
steel II the steelworkers should fail
the mon behind the guns in France
have no munitions; they would have
no guns.
We cannot fight this war without
food. II the farmers of the nation re-
fuse TO plant wheat and other produce
unless they have a price which they
themselves shall dictate, the men In the
trenches would starye.
Il Is the same with coal. Coal is an
absolute essential. 10 is as great an
essential as steel, or food. or powder or
guns, or aerOplanes, or tanks. Unless
there is an adequate supply OF coal our
army in France would fail and the plans
OF the Allies will fail. Listen TO the
thrilling message of the supreme COM
mander Of the armies in France TO the
miners in Great Britain. This is the

after the publication Of its much dis
cussed editorial article-so far as we
have observed, every important jour
nal in America. without regard to
party nomenclature, upholds and ap-
plauds the Presidents unhesitating re-
fusal to supersede General John Joseph
Pershing as the authorized and official
negotiator Of an American peace.
So far as we know, every important
member Of Congress, without distinc-
tion as TO party, is now with the Presi-
dent in his choice of the manner in
which peace Is TO be won. The appro-
val is universal, as Senator Lodge de-
clared in his notable speech yesterday
afternoon. There is no opposition. The
President has with him a united Con-
gress.

lief the virtual unanlmity Of support

The men and women in the factories and

but approval there, either. There is no
demand for the superseding Of General
Pershing as Peace Commissioner. The
President has with him a united people
Probably not even Abraham Lincoln,
at any time during the war for the
preservation of the Union, had a sup
port more nearly unanimous, and more
enthusiastically devoted 10 the cause,

termination that the peace to come

There is a serious shortage Of coal in
Great Britain, and a far more serious
shortage in France. There, we know,
the richest coal mines are still held by
the Hun. All this. means a still more
painful shortage In Italy.
It seems evident that the evil forces
which have done so much to hinder
Americas war program have not yet
ceased their activities, and that among
the coal miners in Pennsylvania there
are sinister influences at work. Some
