structure must be corrected by the

board respected lies with congress.

The governments effort to settle the
coal controversy is likely to be success
tul though the exact formula is as vet
by no means certain and the govern
ment Is for the moment feeling its way.
Absorbed in the settlement of the
coal strike, the government is none the
less aware that the strike on the rail
roads involves a greater principle. In
the case of the coal disputants, the gov
eminent really has no legal power or
authority and is purely voluntary

the government has a much more direct
influence. The President himself when
