Controversy in Michigan

LANSING Mich, July ga let
ter from President Harding in effect
that the federal government is pow
erless to interfere with the attitude
of the United Mine Workers of
America toward independent coal
agreements; that at present nothing
can be done except enable men will
ing to work in safety, and that the
big issue in the coal strike dispute
is national Impotence, "unhesitat-
ingly assumed by the mineworkers."
which must be taken care of by leg
islation today drew sharp disagree
ment from Governor Alex j. Groes-
beck.
Replying to Governor Groesbeck's
original proposal that the state take
over and operate the mines In Mich
igan, the President said:
Il do not know whether you have
the persuasive power t o effect a vol
untary agreement in Michigan q 8 y
but I think it fair to u that
you would not enforce such an agree
ment. For the present in the alb
of law to guarantee service IN
| the public welfare we can only take
steps necessary to enable men wiling
| to work to do so in public safety.
81 do not think this means ar
| armed guard at the mouth of everN
mine. 1t does mean the assurance
| that state authorities and federal au'
| thority, when needed, means to pro
| tect every man in the pursuit o.
lawful employment"
The governor replied in part:
There being no disputes oVel
wages and working conditions 4
seems a pity that the public mus
be made to suffer without any Justi'
fication whatever. You will pardon
me, for taking the position that tn'
national government has the power
and authority to protect our citizens
from the embarrassing situation
which faces us. / do not see hoV
we can conceive that such power
do not exist. l am writing frank,
because the people are becoming i'm
patient of further delay in the adop
ton of measures that will spell a,

Rain threatened early in the morn
