HITS PRESIDENTS PLAN.
Mining Congress Says 1t Would
Set Aside Natural Adjustment.

The proposal of President Harding
for arbitration in the coal mining in
dustry in effect acts to set aside ths
law OF supply and demand, which
must eventually regulate ali indus
trial disputes" the American Mining
Congress declared in a statement sent
to the White House yesterday. made
public through James F. Callbreath
secretary Of the organization.
"Reopening of mines now on strike
except upon competitive basis with
non-union mines in operation would
he ruinous," the statement said.
Moreover. such operation at high
satisfaction among the non-union
mines, undoubtedly leading to striker
Spd thus cutting off the only reliable
source Of fuel. The proposal to open
coal mines at the war scale of wages
may seem temporary, but in effect it
would be permanent"
Asserting that the Mining Congress
did not attempt to speak for the coal
industry. but that 1t did represent the
great western mining industry, Mr.
Callbreath said tie congress consid-
cred that "the nations welfare de-
mands competitive wage scales as the
result of actual bargaining, rather
chan settlement induced by a sur
fering public, helpless under the tn
timidation of and entirely for the
pcheHe OF men unlted under the han-
ner of the United Mine Workers Of
America. .
1T would be criminal" the state
rnent continued, "if the non union on
orators and miners who have enabled
our industries to continue should now
he sacri1ced by-a governmental or
der.
"A government guarantee of pro-
lection to- every Individual in his
right TO work will settle the coal
strike menace for all time. We ap-

ltection of independent workers. BY

CABINET DEV0TES
SESSION TO STRIKE
President Confers With Ad-
visers-Reported Hopeful
Rail Board Can Act.

President Harding and his advisers
again today devoted cabinet session
to the rail and coal strikes.
Several of the cabinet officials ar
rived at the White House for the ses-
sion bearing reports on the two in
dustrial disturbances. Postmaster
Genera! Work had several reports
on the mail situation as affected by
the rail strike: Attorney General
Daugherty said he had about a hun
dred kilograms. the nature of which
he would not disclose, Secretaries
Hoover and Davis had ready for pres
entatiou the latest informa ton on the
governments proposal for arbitration
of the coal strike. and Secretary
Weeks was prepared to discuss possi-
Bile action to maintain interstate COM
merce and transportation of the mails
in accordance with the Presidents
recent warning proclamation.
Weeks Not Advised.
Secretary Weeks said he had re-
ceived no advices from c. E. Schaff
receiver for the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad. who was advised late
yesterday by the government to make
another request o. Gov. Neff Of Texas,
for protection by state troops on the
carriers property, now in the hands
of a receiver. appointed by a federal
court. The expectation at the War
Department, howeve, was tha some re-
port would be received during the
day.
]. P. Noonan. president of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electri-
cal Workers. the members of which
organization represent one of the six
crafts of railway workers on strike,
declared upon his arrival in Washing
ton today from Chicago, that calling
out federal troops to cope with the
railroad strike situation would hurt
rather than aid the government in its
efforts to deal with the situation.
Many union workers throughout the
country, he said. would leave their
posts with the rail systems If forced
to work under military protection.
Charges Trains Dropped.
Mr.. Noonan charged that some of
the railroads were annulling mail
trains purposely in an effort to force
the governments hand and were re-
fusing to meet with the striking
workers in an effort to force the men
into conference with government Of
ficials. This is being done. he said,
TO keep up the appearance that the
striking shopmen are in revolt
against the government and not the
railroads.
President Harding was described by
White House callers today as quite
hopeful over the rail strike situation
and confident that Chairman Hooper
of the Railroad Labor Board would
be able soon. to work out a solution
satisfactory to all concerned.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, re-
publican Senate leader, one of the
visitors, said he had assured the
President that his course with re-
spect to the strike had the support
