WARREN G. HARDING.
Sees Need of Commission

In their letter to the President
rejecting arbitration of wage scale
by a commission. the miners quote
the Presidents plan for fact-find-
ing agency and say: -
The. fundamental interests of the
mine workers and of the consumers
Of coal are. dependent upon such ac-
tion being taken. 1t is also essen
tiaI to the proper development and
stabilization of the coal industry
itself
The actual completion of the
work of such a commission, and the
application of practical reforms,
however, are an essential prelimi-
nary to any attempt to determine
rates. of pay to workers in the coal
mining Industry upon a just and
reasonable basis.
Labor is only. one factor In the
production and distribution OF coal.
Labor costs are only one element in
the many elements of costs involv-
ing the mining Of coal and its
transportation. All Of these fac
tors and elements are closely in
terrelated and fnterdependent. One
factor, such as labor. cannot be
segregated and a decision made
upon II alone.
Regularity of Operation - y
Among other things. the relation
of labor and other costs to profits
and prices must, be. aseertained.c In

ment Can Only Prevent PrOfiteering-
Congressman Afraid of Voters.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Despatch to The Reformer.
Copyright 1922
WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-Congress
has begun its brainstorm on the coal
strike.
For months the situation has been
drifting without intervention by the
government. Now that coal supplies are
low and the deadlock between the min
ers and operators in the anthracite fields
continues, the outbursts from individual
members of congress are fiery.
1t is typical of other crises-nothing
is done till the situation is acute and
then there are all sorts of accusations
as to who is responsible for allowing the
crisis to develop. The Democrats are
blaming President Harding for procras-
tination. Members of congress of both
parties are reluctant to pass any legis-
lation just before the coming elections.
They expect the chief executive to set
tie the trouble and get coal
In the midst of it all there has broken
out another conflict between the two
schools of thought who believe respec-
lively In centralized government and
the anatomy of the states. Senator Bo-
rah is as vehement a champion of states
rights as any Jeffersonian Democrat.
He recommended the action of Governor
Miller in calling the state legislature in
special session to handle the coal emer-
gency.
President Harding and members OF
the cabinet, like Herbert Hoover. believe
| this is a situation for the individual
states to handle. They recognize the
doubt which exists as to the conStitu.
tional right of the federal government to
seize any coal mine. They acknowledge
that no such' doubt prevails with respect
to the power of the several states.
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, in
whose state the big anthracite field lies
is one of the state executives who is
known to be ready to exercise his powers
to the fullest extent to supply coal to
the nation. If the deadlock is unbreak
able, action from the governor of Penn
Sylvania can be expected and it will
| have the warm moral support of the
| White House.
| No Seizure of Mines
| Seizure Of the coal mines by the fed
| eral government can be dismissed as un
| likely. The most the President want;
| TO do IS to regulate the price OF such Goa
as is produced and TO do this under the
| constitutional prerogatives relating tC
/ interstate commerce. Congress is reluc
! tant to grant price-fxing powers on any
/ thing just now. though the pressure OF
/ public opinion may change that attitude
any moment. for as the reflex of popular
| discomfort over the coal situation is car
| ried back to the national capital the pc
| litical value of energetic action instead
/ of evasion will become apparent. There

see the political advantage of being on
the side which does something instead of
nothing in the emergency. 1t is doubt
full whether the passage of the Winslow
bin merely appointing a commission of
inquiry will suffice. though many mem
bers of congress are hoping that is all
they will have to do.
With the unsettled conditions on the
railroads due to the shopmen's strike
and the certainty that the country will
suffer hardships next winter on account
Of the coal strike, congress is restlessly
trying to find out what it ought to do.
The prediction can be made that unless
both strikes are settled this week all
sorts of drastic proposals will find ex-
preston in the senate and house.
Ship Subsidy Withdrawn.
The President recognizes the temper
of congress and has quietly withdrawn
the ship subsidy bill from the calendar
over until the next session. Fear that
congress would shelYe the measure and
administer an untimely defeat to the
White House is unquestiOnably at the
bottom of the move. but when the No
vember elections are past, the President
will renew with vigor his effort to Gre
ate a merchant marine along the lines of
his recent message to congress. Another
reason for deferring ship subsidy is the
Presidents own absorption in the indus
trial situation. He has been able to
think of little else and he realizes that
he could not focus public attention on
the merchant marine bill while so many
other vital matters are acutely calling
for consideration.
The rail and coal strikes have upset
the Presidents plans There are indica-
tions that they will upset the plans also
of members of congress who have been
counting on an early adjournment If
congress should get entangled in the rail
and coal strikes there is no telling how
soon this session will end
Congress gives the impression of just
now realizing the seriousness of the in
dustrial situation and while there may
be relatively little action, at least there
will be the usual emission of Oratorical
steam and political recrimination.
