LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL

Bulking large in the affairs of Amer
lea were the two big strikes, of the
railway shopmen and the coal miners.
In effect at the same time, they seri-
ously threatened the national well.
being by disrupting traffic and causing
a countrywide shortage of fuel
Unable to reach an agreement with
the mine operators on the wage scale,
the miners, both anthracite and btu
minous, went on strike April /. In
June and July President Harding con-
ferred with representatives of both
sides, and proposed that the men re-
turn to work at the old wages and that
the new scale be arbitrated. His plan
heing rejected, he told the operators
to reopen their mines under protection
of federal troops and the flag. In only
a few cases was this done. There
were numerous local conflicts and some
killings, and the price of coal threat
ened to become extortionate. To pre-
vent protiteering the government
adopted a plan for the supervision or
production and distribution of coal on
July "a Operators and miners of the
bituminous fields met at Cincinnati ana
on August 10 signed an agreement
ending the strike, the men winning VIZ
tually all their demands. similar
settlement of the anthracite strike was
made on September .. II was admit
ted that the root of the trouble had not
been reached and that another strike
in the spring Of 1923 was almost a GER
tainty. Since there was still great
shortage of coal, Conrad f. Spens was
appointed federal fuel director on Sep

The railway strike followed an order
of the federal railway labor board, Is
sued June 6, reducing the wages OF the
shopmen about $60,00o.WO year
Other rail employees had their pay cut
proportionately, but the shopmen were
chosen to make the fight. They quit
work on July l, and two days later
we're "outlawed" by the board. On
July Il they were reinforced by the
stationary engineers, firemen and OIL
ers. From the beginning the admins
tration strove to bring about a settle
ment, but both sides were stubborn
the restoration of seniority rights be-
ing the main stumbling block. Presl-
dent Harding warned the strikers
against interference with mails or in
terstate transportation, and the ageh-
cies of the government were active IN
enforcing his orders. Finding they
could not tie up traffic, the strikers IN
many regions resorted to extreme vio-
lence, and even 10 murder. In the Far
West some OF the Brotherhood OF
Trainmen members cO-operated with
them until called off by their chiefs.
Several trains loaded with passengers
were abandoned in the deserts. Final

at the strike. Attorney General Daugh-
erty, on September /, obtained from
Judge Wilkersou in Chicago a sweep
ing order restraining the shop crafts
from interfering in any way with the
operation of the railways. Two weeks
later the strike was broken when
many railroads negotiated separate
agreements with the shopmen.
