IN 4S HOURS
President Feels Interest
of Public Demands
Mines Reopen.

Washington, July 17.-(By The
Associated Press. Elimination was
riven in well-informed govern
mental circles this afternoon that
the administration was preparing
to take drastic action within the
next 48 hours in the coal strike
situation. The president was Pep
resented as being Of the opinion
that inasmuch as the miners rep
resentatives had refused govern
ment arbitration and the bitumin-
GUS operators were undecided on
acceptance of such a proposal that
the interest of the public demand
immediate reopening of the mines.
With this feeling, it was said, the
president was prepared to direct
the mine operators to reopen their
mines at once under protection Of
federal troops and with an Ameri-
can flag planted at the entrance of
every mine to be operated. The
operators would be expected to
comply Immediately with such an
edict.
Rail Strike Next.
The same method of dealing with
the railroad situation must be
used, it was said, if conditions soon
do not change for the better. The
administration, it was added, is de-
termined no longer to be baked in
its efforts to see that the consum.
ing public and the industries of the
country get sufficient fuel.
The president has in mind, it was
further reported, to pay II neces-
sary for short time a royalty or
such coal as would be mined te
meet the emergency. II there ar,
insufficient numbers Of non-unior
miners to operate the mines wher
reopened under government pro
lection, it was tntimated that cal
for volunteer miners would go ou
from the government, officials be
lieving there are thousands Of min
ers who now are engaged in othe
pursuits but who would RESPOND
to such call.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 17.-(By tn,

erals, said here this afternoon. Stat
laws forbid working of the mine
by any persons bus licensed min
ers and as Illinois is thorough
