Public Interest Paramount

D RESIDENT WILSON sent a thrill of re-
assurance through the nation. when he
issued his ultimatum to the bituminous coal
strikers, warning that industrial army that
the Federal government would exhaust all
its resources, il need he, TO avert such a
catastrophe would be visited upon the
American people by complete suspension
OF coal production. He showed by that act
that there is not only power but courage left
in Washington to deal with the vital labor
issues
All peaceable means had been resoyted
to by the administration to prevent the
threatened strike. Mediation by the Score
tary OF Labor had been offered. Proposals
had been made TO wipe the slate clean and
reopen the negotiations without reservations.
That falling, the secretary demanded that
the, conflicting interests submit their
differences to arbitration. The miners re-
jected every move toward Cancellation, stand
ing firmly upon their Impossible demands aud
refusing hatly to suspend or to rescind their
strike order.
II the government had supinely submitted
to the situation thus created; il it had made
confession Of its helplessness; il it had
shown no determination to meet the crisis,
the country might we'll have been In a state
OF acute alarm. Panic might have been pre-
cipitated as the people contemplated the pos
otohlSs " q lotoi EoltApSe VI the lTdnSpOfLH-
ton and the industrial system and men
and women everywhere might properly
have felt that no power existed any
where to protect them from the greed or
stupidity or obstinacy of any body OF organ
tied labor that might decide to run amuck.
But sick as he is and incapacitated as he
has been TO stand in the open, fighting tho
forces that seek to paralyze the life OF the
nation, President Wilson was not too feeble
to issue new bill Of rights or to serve
Hateful notice upon the miners that they dare
not carry their ruinous program into effect.
His pfonounGement was direct, determined
and decisive, and it has had stabilizng
effect upon all business. and must have q
SOLDERING effect upon all labor,
Although addressed primarily to the United
Mine Workers OF America, the Presidents
ultinlatum is applicable alike to all trade
unionism in this country. 1t was issued at =
time when the railroad brotherhoods are re-
newing their ciamor for more wages at a
time when the steel workers are actually
striking, and at a time when scores OF
other bodies Of labor are driving forward
for ever-inereasins scales of pay.
Almost coincident with this declaration
came the call of President Gompers OF the
American Federation of Labor for a general
labor conference in Washington the admitted
object of which is to organize resistance to
the compulsory arbitration clause Of the
Cummins railroad bill. The time may not
be ripe to enforce compulsory arbitration in
this country. Upon that question there Is
much room for doubt, but the labor union
that is afraid to submit it's cause to fair and
honorable arbitration, whether compulsory or
not. rine times out Of ten is demanding
something which it knows to be ndefensiblc
