PRESIDENT DEMANDS
UNION HEADS CALL
Off COAL WALk0uT

Washington. Oct. 2S.-President
Wilson is a sharp public warning on
the threatened coal strike calls on
leaders of the United Mine Workers 10
call off the strike, declars the walkout
''unjustifiable and unlawful" and Of
fers the services of the government for
arbitration.
The presidents statement follows:
"On September %, 1919, the conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers OF
America, at Cleveland, Ohio. adopted a
proposal declaring that all contracts
in the bituminous field shall be de-
clared as having automatically expired
November ]. 1919, n making various
demands, including a 60 per cent in
crease in wages and the adoption of q
six-hour work day and a fve-day
week; and providing that. in the
event a satisfactory wage agreement
should not be secured for the central
competitive field before November l..
1919, the national officials should4be
authorized and instructed to call a
general strike of all bitulninous miners
and mine workers throughout the
United States, effective November l,
1919.
Pursuant to these instructions the
officers of the organization have issued
a call to make the strike effective No
vember /. This is one Of the gravest
steps ever proposed in this country. af-
fecting the economic welfare and the
domestic comfort and health of the
people. 1t is proposed to abrogate an
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.
Affects Whole Nation.
This strike is proposed at a time
When the government is making the
most earnest effort to reduce the cost
of living and has appealed with sue
cess to other classes of workers to
postpone similar disputes until a rea-
sonable opportunity has been af-
forded for dealing with the cost OF
living. 1t is recognized that the strike
would practically shut off the coun-
try's supply of it's principal fuel at a
time when interference with that sup
ply is calculated to create a disastrous
fuel famine. All interests would be
al1ecled allke by a Strlke OF this char-
acter, and it's victims would be not
the rich only, but the poor and needy
as well-those least able to provide in
advance a fuel supply for domestic
use. 1t would involve the shutting
down of countless industries anG
throwing out of employment of q
large number of the workers Of the
country. 1t would involve stopping
the operation Of railroads, electric
light and gas plants, street railway
lines and other public utilities, and the
shipping to and from this country, thus
preventing our giving aid to the allied
countries with supplies which they sc
seriously need. The country is con.
fronted with this prospect at a time
when the war itself is still a fact
when the world is still in suspense as
to negotiations for peace, when oul
troops are still being transported ant
when their near of transport is il
urgent need Of fuel.
Calls 1t "Unlawful."
from whatever angle the subjec'
may be viewed, it is apparent that suct
The citizen-Republican. (Scotland, Bon Homme County, S.D.) 1???-19??, 1919-10-30

q strike in such circumstances would
he the most far reaching plan ever
presented in this country to limit the
facilities of production and distribu-
ton of q necessity of life, and thus in
directly to restrict the production and
distribution of all the necessaries Of
life. A strike under these circum-
stances is not emily unjustifiabIe; ii is
unlawful.
THE acton proposed has apparently
been taken without any vote upon the
specific proposition by the individual
members of the United Mine Workers
of America throughout the United
States, az almost unprecedented pro
ceeding. I cannot believe that any RICH.
of any American worker needs for it's
protection the taking of this %extraor-
binary step. and I am convinced that
when the time and money are consid-
cred it constitutes a fundamental at
tack, which is wrong both morally and
legally, upon the welfare of our coun-
try. I feel convinced that individual
members Of the United Mine Workers
would not, upon full consideration. be
in favor of such 4 strike under these
conditions.
Demands Work Continue.
"When a movement reaches a point
where it appears to involve practically
the entire productive capacity of the
country with respect to one of the most
vital necessities of daily domestic and
industrial life n when the movement
is asserted in the circumstances I a
stated and at a time and a manne
calculated to involve the maximum OF
dangers in the public welfare in this
critical hour of our country's life, the
public interest becomes the paramount
consideration.
"in these circumstances | soiemnly
request both the national and the local
officers and also the individual mem
bers of the United Mine Workers to
recall all orders looking to a strike on
November 1, and to take whatever
steps may be necessary to prevent any
%stoppage of work.
Will Enforce Law.
1T is time for plain speaking. These
matters with which we now deal touch
not only the welfare Of a class, but
vitality concern the well being, the com
fort and the very lift of all the people.
I feel it is my duty in the public in
t%erests to declare that any attempt to
carry out the purpose of his strike and
Illus " pdIdlyZe inc industry OIL the
country with the consequent suffering
and distress of our people, must be
considered a grave moral Inc legal
wrong against the government and the
people of the United states.
~ can do nothing else than tc cay
that the law will be enforced and the
means will be found to protect the in
~terests of the nation in any emergency
that may arise out of this unhappy
business.
Il empress no opinion on the merits
of the controversy. I have already sug-
gested a plan by which a settlement
may be reached and I hold myself in
readiness at the request of either or
both sides to appoint at once a tribunal
to investigate all the facts with a view
to aiding in the earliest possible order
ly settlement of the questions at issue
between the coal operators and the
miners, to the end that the just rights,
not only of those interests but also of
the general public may be fully pro-
tected."
