entire productive capacity of the country
with respect to one of the most vital necessi-
ties OF daily domestic and industrial life and
when the movement is asserted in the circum-
stances that have stated and at time and
in manner calculated to involve the maxi
mum of danger to the public welfare in this
critical hour OF our cOuntry's life, the public
interest becomes the paramount cOnsidera-
ton.
''ln these circumstances | solemnly re-
quest both the national and the local officers
and also the individual members of the
United Mine Workers of America to recall
all orders looking to strike on November &,
and to take whatever steps may be necessary
to prevent any stoppage of work.
1T is time for plain speaking. These mat
ers with which We now deal touch not only
the welfare Of class, but virtually include
the well being. the comfort and the very life
of the people.
81 feel Tiny duty in the public interest. to
declare that any attempt to carry out the
purposes Of this strike and thus to paralyze
the industry OF the country with the conse-
quent suffering and distress of all our people
must be considered grave moral and legal
wrong against the government and the
people of the United States.
II can do nothing less than say that law
will be enforced and means will be found to
protect the interests Of the nation in any
emergency that may arise out of this I'M
happy business
81 express no opinion on the merits of the
controversy. | have already suggested a
plan on which settlement may be reached,
and hold myself in readiness at the request
of either or both sides to appoint at once a
tribunal to invest gate all the facts with Il
view to aiding i'll the earliest possible orderly
settlement of the question at issue between
the coal operators and the coal miners, to the
end that the just rights, not only of those in
terests but also Of the general public, may be
fully protected.

The official statement issued by President
Wilson with reference to the coal strike is
"On September %, 1919, the convention
of the United Mine Workers of America, at
Cleveland, Ohio, adopted proposal declar-
ing that all contracts in the bituminous
fields shall be declared as having automat.
ically expired November |, 1919, and making
various demands including 60 per cent in
crease in wages and the addition of six
hour day and five-day week, and providing
that in the event satisfactory wage agree
ment should not he secured for the central
competitive fields before November |, 1919.
the national officers should be authorized and
instructed to call general strike of all
bituminous miners and mine workers
throughout the United States effective No
vember l, 1919.
pursuant to these Instructions, the
officers of this organization have issued
call to make the strike effective November l.
This is one of the gravest steps ever pro-
posed in this country, affecting the economic
welfare and the domestic health of the
people
1t is proposed to abrogate an agreement
as to wages which was made with the sane
ton of the United States fuel administration
and which was to run during the continuance
of the war, but not beyond April /, 1920.
The strike is proposed at tins time, when
the government is making the most earnest
efforts to reduce the cost of living, and has
appealed with success to other classes of
workers to postpone similar disputes until
reasonable opportunity has been afforded for
dealing with the cost of living
1T is recognized that the strike would
practically shut off the country's supply of
its principal fuel at time when interference
with that supply is calculated to create a
serious fuel famine.
"Af interests would be affected alike by
a strike of this character, and its victims
must be notthe rich only, but the poor and
the needy as well-those least able to pro-

says, and it's going to be a whole lot

that 400 people crowded the Grange

had to be turned away. According
to present plans the show will be

that several Of the states refused
for time to accept it, and such as
IT is today it has been materially
changed by numerous amendments
adopted in the past hundred years,
but the patriots OF Washington day
anew that it was the best kind Of a
constitution obtainable and for thu
sake OF the great ideals which il pro-
claimed to the world they adopted it
and trusted 10 time and to the sanity
of the people to reconcile conflicting
interests and differences.
Does anyone now question the wis
dom of Washington and his col
leagues? Was it not better that they
should have adopted the proposed
constitution with whatever minor de-
fects it may have seemed to them to
contain, rather than to have thrown
over the whole project? If they had
been so shortsighted as to have re-
fused to accept this great document
there could have been no United
States. Instead Of the great federal
union we would have had numerous
petty states, each trying to be sover
eign in it's own domains, each armed
to the teeth and ready at the drop of
a hat to spring at the throat of its
neighbors.
