ARBITRATION OR DIRECT
FEDERAL ACTION

II President Harding meant his i'm
promptu speech to tho operators yea
he gavo up too easily. Where
as he told them that we have now
reached "A point . where the
good offices of tho government I'm
seeking n voluntary adjustment OF tho
dispute between mine operators and
mine workers are without avail" he
should have announced II more ef-
fort. Obstinate men are not brought
to tho conference table by n mere III
you please" The moral force Of pub
lie opinion must be exerted ut its fun
strength through the agency OF the
government. There In none Of this
needed grimness in President Hnrding's
Invitation" to the employers to re-
sumo mining operations.
The operators undoubtedly place the
public under n heavy obligation by
acceptinE-thouRh with minority dis
sent-the Presidents arbitration plan.
This plan IL really less favorable 20
them than to the miners, and their
action throws n glaring light upon the
s~elnshnesa Of the minera' refusal on
Sunday. But the President should yet
make n more appeal TO the United
Mine Workers. backed by a threat Of
government Intervention hostile ~

to throw It's decisive weight on one

the operators refused. tho govern

A MODERN &C RISE.

In oldcn DAYS when hate grew hot,
The days of brave Sir LAunceiot'
In classic phrase or rhythmic verse
Al enemies they launched a curse-
"A plague besiege you" they would
cry.
MAY you be withered. arm and thigh"
Whom anger rose to fever heat
The maddened person woul repeat
some prayer unto the imps below
To blind or lame his hated foe,
"A m~urrain seize you" he would
shout
And wipe your generation out"
No torture known 10 human ken
Was overlooked by curs.ng men.
MAY apoplcxy end your race,
And small pox C your ugly face!
In agony" the knight would cry
May you and all your family die!'
The custom has passed out. It's well.
I'Tis not good taste for mon TO yell
In hate such harsh and ugly things,
Or pray the pain disaster brings.
Yet still there stays n goodly plan
In hate TO curse n gollng man.
1 would not pray that he should meet
An accident along h street,
A torture infinitely worse
Would be the burden Of my curse,
This l would cry: While you're alive
May you forever slice your drive!
Plague on your game OF golf" Ia cry;
May you forever lift your eye.
May you be prey to trap and ditch
And alwayg shake your mashie pitch
While you and all your tribe survive
May you forever slice your drfve!"

Mr.. Harding now makes his appeal TO

The operators are instructed by the
President to e-open their mines. The
Governors Of the various States CON
ccrned are advised by the President 60
use tho militia, II necessary, to pro-
tect tho property OF the operators and
give security TO the %non-union ON
rRoyees who are hired TO take the
place OF the strikers. The corollary
IL that II the Governors fall to pro-
vide the protection that tho Presi-
dent suggests. Federal troops win be
employed.
The President. OF course. has no
authority over the coal-operators. They
can reopen their mines or not az they
please. and there Is much that they
win take into consideration beyond the
Presidential mandate. Many Of them
will bo Influenced by local sentiment.
IN rticularly In the districts in which
the unions are strong and their sym

Influenced by labor conditions in their
districts. A cosl-operator who knows
that there In no non-union labor to be
hired Is not likely TO reopen his mine
merely as a gesture Of respect 20 Mr..
Harding.
As for Governors. they too win lie
subject TO various influences. Neither
their responsibility nor their power nor
Their discretion IL increased or dimln D..

Their obligation to protect life and

today than IL was yesterday. Those
who have not done SO were unwilling
or were incapable. and are likely 10 re

THE PRESIDENT TO
THE OPERATORS

Complaint will be made that Presi-
dent Harding speaks too mildly 10 the
Observation-Disclosures who are holding up the
proposed arbitration Of tho coal strike.
His statement yesterday was address
ed TO the operators alone. but II is
equally applicable to the miners who
are averse to the arbitration pro.
posal. The President abstains from
strong language. but after reminding
tho recalcitrants hat coal IL "a ma
tlonal necessity" he tells 10Th parties
that their several interests in the
quarrel ore not 40 important as tho
right Of the people 10 their supply Of
fuel. II therefore," h. concluded sin
vits you to return 10 your mine prop
critics and resume operation"
The proof OF the pudding Is in the
eating. and the weight Of Mr., Hard
'ing's words IL to be measured by the
leeds nat follow. There is a plain
warning in the President's statement
which neither side can afford 10 dis
regard.
The public must have coal and Il IS
the business of the Government to sec
that coal is mined and distributed
Operators ammo DO allowed 70 ss
down On their property from which
necessity Of life Is derived and KEEP 1
in a state OF unproductiveness in al
effort to tire out the strikers. tn,
latter cannot be allowed 20 stay an,
intimidate in an attempt TO prove tina
their side OF the quarrel is the strong
er.
Either the operators, who claim Z
have sufficient labor available. mus
open their mines under the protec
ton of the State and Federal authoTi
ties. or even the Federal Governmer
Itself must take Owe the mines an
run them until the operators an
miners come to their senses.
And after that Is done the coal in
dustry must not be returned TO IN
uncontrolled keeping Of the empioyin
groups and the unions. Governmer
supervision will he demanded 10 prs
vent a recurrence OF present cond
tons. The people OF the Unite
States will have 10 pay for this strik
in higher prices for fuel. and thu
