producing states to protect the mines
of all operators willing to resume coal
production, President Harding threw
down the guage of battle to the United
Mineworkers of America, probably
the most powerful body of organized
workers in the country.
Should the presidents move fail to
increase coal production within a
short time, there will be only one
course open to the government-seiz-
ure and operation of the mines.
In his call upon the 28 governors,
Harding in effect ordered the mobiliza-
tion of more than 100000 armed men
on the side of the public, it was esti-
mated.
The governors can call first on To-
cal authorities, such as the police and
deputy sheriffs. to provide protection
If these forces prove insufficient, the
national guard is to be mobilized.
If guardsmen prove ineffective, fed
eral troops will be sent to their assist
ance.
Should the trouble go beyond con-
troll of these forces the government
will induct the national guards of non
coal producing states into federal
service and detail them to duty in the
coal producing states.

states to which the president address.
