Wilson has issued a formal statement
with the approval Of the full member
ship Of his cabinet, declaring the pro-
jected strike of bituminous coal min
ers under present circumstances mot
only unjustifiable, it is unlawful"
The statement called upon officers Of
local unions to recall orders for the
strike and added:
Il can do nothing less than to say
that the law will be enforced and
will be found to protect the
interests Of the nation in any emer-
gency that may arise out of this uae

Wilson's Statement.
Among other things the presidents
statement says:
con Sept %, 1919, the convention
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, at Cleveland, Ohio, adopted pro.
posal declaring that all contracts in
the bituminous field shall be declared
as having automatically expired Nov.
l, 1919, and making various demands,
including a 60 per cent increase in
wages and the adoption of six-hour
work day and a five-day week, and
providing that in the event salts.
factory wage agreement should not be
secured for the central competitive
field before Nov. /, 1919, the national
officers should be authorized and In.
structed to call a general strike of all
bituminous miners and mine workers
throughout the United States effective
Nov. l, 1919. :.
Pursuant to these instructions the
officers of the organization have is-
sued a call to make the strike" effec-
tive Nov. /. This is one Of the grav-
est steps ever proposed in this coun-
try, affecting the economic welfare and
the domestic comfort and health Of the
people. It is proposed to abrogate On
agreement as to wages which was
made with the sanction of the United
States Fuel administration and which
was to run during the continuance of
the war, but not beyond April 1, 1920.
In the circumstances solenlnly re-
quest both the national and the local
officers and also the individual mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of
America to recall all orders looking to
q strike on Nov. l, and to take what
ever steps may be necessary TO pre-
vent any stoppage Of work.
1T is time for plain speaking. These
matters with which we now deal touch
not only the welfare of class, but vital
ly concern the well-being, the comfort
and the very life of all the people.
feel it is my duty in the public inter-
est to declare that any attempt to car
ry out the purpose of this strike and
thus to paralyze the industry of the
country with the consequent suffering
and distress of all our people, must
be considered a grave moral and legal
wrong against the government and the
people of the United States. l can do
nothing else than to say that the law
will be enforced and the means will
be found to protect the interests of the
al to investigate all the facts with a
view to aiding in the earliest possible
orderly settlement of the question at
issue between the coal operators and
the coal miners to the end that the
