! Washington, Oct. 29.-The government
moved swiftly tonight to meet the
nationwide coal strike ordered for Satur-
day.
I Refusal Of the miners organization at
indianapolis to withdraw the order call
ing out half a million men brought in
stant announcement that drastic action
would be taken to keep the mines in
operation
Every resource Of the government. in
the words of Attorney General Palmer
will be used to prevent the national
disaster" certain to follow the stoppage
of work When the governments plans
were announced it was not known here
that the operators, as indicated in
dispatches from st. Louis, contemplated
closing the mines in the event of a strike.
Adequate police protection with troops
as a last resort If necessary will be
given those men desiring to remain at
work. Reports from government agents
show that big part of the miners or
dered to quit work want to stay on the
job.
Right of the public will be protected
through revival of price control regula-
tions suspended when the fuel administra-
ton went out Of existence February l.
This means an early drop in the price
of soft coal and gives assurance agains,

As to those miners who go on strike
and thereby curtail production of the food
and fuel control law with its recently
added criminal penalties of fine and i'm
prsonment VIII be enforced without re-
gard to persons. This attitude of the
government Attorney General Palmer
made clear, does not affect the right of
workers to strike for redress of grievances
in other cases where no violations of the
law is involved.
Mr.. Palmer's announcement Of the gov
ernments plans made after a consultation
with Secretary Wilson, Director General
Hines. Assistant Attorney-General Ames.

attack on the life of the nation than an

situation which challenged the supremacy

There can be no doubt that the gov
ernment has the power in the public in
terest, under the law, to deal with the
projected strike of the bituminous coal
miners. without infringing upon the re-
cognized right Of men in any line of in
dustry to work when they please and
quit work when they please. The ille-
gality of this strike cen and will be es-
tablshed without in any way impairing
the general right to strike, and the gem
eral right to strike is not in issue in any
sense whatever in this present situation.
This Is true because the circumstances
differentiate tbs case from the case
of any other strike that has ever taken
place in the country. 1t does not follow
that every strike is lawful merely because
the right to strike Is recognized TO eX-
list. Every case must stand upon its own
bottom and be governed by its own facts.
Therefore when the President said in his
statement last Saturday that such q
strike in such circums tauces is not only
unjustifiable but unlawful, reference was
made only to the conditions in the i'm
pending situation.
by enactlng the food and fuel control
act. Congress has recognized the vital
Importance in the present circumstances
Of maintaining production and distrbu-
ton of the necessaries of life and has
made 1t unlawful for any concerted
action, agreement or the arrangement to
be made by two or more persons to limit
the facilities of transportation and
production. or to restrict the supply and
distribution of fue.. or to ed or abet the
doing of any act having this purpose or
effect. Making a strike effective under
the circumstances which l have described
amounts to such concerted action or ar
rangement.
ment of justice to enforce this statute
We have enforced it in many cases We
must continue to do so irrespective of the
persons invo.ved in its violation | hope il
will not be necessary to enforce it in
this case. Indeed, l am hearing from
many sources that large numbers of the
miners themselves do not wish to quit
work and will not do so if assured of the
protection of the government, of which
they properly feel themselves a part II
Is probably unnecessary for me to cay
that such protection will everywhere be
given so that men may exercise their
undoubted right Of continuing to work
under such terms and conditions as they
snail see fit The facts present a stua-
ton which challenges the supremacy OF
the law and every resource of the gov
ernment will he brought to bear to pre-
vent the national disaster which would
inevitably result from the cessation of
mining operations
