price boosting at the operators con-
ference. it was pointed out, will nat
urally open the whole situation in the
coal industry and lead directlyto con-
sideration of the differences between
the operators and the miners, thus
giving the Government spokesman
an opportunity to say to the ope-
rators:
We'll, gentlemen, just wait here
and well call the miners and try to
settle this thing right now"
Or. If that Is not deemed a wise
course, It is believed the Govern
ment may at least be able to secure
from the operators a promise that
they will meet in conference with
the miners at a later date.
The request for such a conference
would, of course. carry with it the
assurance that there would be no
prosecution of the operators or
miners for meeting to affect agree
ments regarding wages. working
conditions, etc.
President Harding has been work
ING on plan Tor ending the coal
strike, and permanently stabilizing
the mine industry. for several
weeks. His right hand man in the
matter has been Secretary Hoover,
who has been in close touch with,
the operators and miners since the
present strike began.
The plan they have been working
on is now complete. 1t is reported,
but they have been waiting until
the shoe begins to pinch" before
trying to apply It. The plan en-
braces the principle that the coal
industry must be made less
seasonal, employing fewer men but
hose regularly throughout the year,
and that coal produced in the sum-
mer months must be stored to await
The winter demand.
Secretary Hoover, in announcing |
asst night that a call has been is
sued to operators. gave sharp warn
ng to wholesalers that scaling of |
prices in the present strike is I'M
justified. There are large stocks of |
'oal on hand, he said, and the only
problem is one of cooperation.
