CABINET SEEKS
TO AVERT COAL
STRIKE MENACE
Operators and Miners Be
ing Urged to Confer on
Keeping of Pledge. :

To prevent a threatened coal
strike is the wish of President
Harding and the entire Cabinet
The strike menace was discussed
at length at yesterdays Cabinet
meeting. It was the unanimous
conclusion that all the available
machinery of government should be
utilized to avert such an Industrial
disturbance.
First, II was decided. the govern
ment should demand that the oper-
ators and miners keep the faith
pledged in the agreement reached
il 1919 that they would confer over
new contract before the existing
contract expired April l.
Both sides Notified.
The President. In view of this de-
cisioR, directed Secretary of Labor
Davis to notify the operators and
miners in the central competitive
field that the government expects
them to live up to that provision OF
the existing agreement.

ing them to arrange a joint confer

What effect such a strike might
have upon political conditions next
summer and fall Is a subject OF
anxiety to Senators and Repre-
sentatives who are aspirants for re-
nomination and who would be can
didates for reelection in November.
They do not relish <he prospect of
paralyzed industries and trans
portation with consequent unem-
ployment and general unrest which
would be certain to follow in the
wake of a strike of the miners.
Republican Apprehension.
II would be certain to have its
effect in the primaries and also in
the elections to follow. Hence the
Republicans, particularly. are very
apprehensive. Any of them who
feel that they can have any influ-
ence to avert a strike will exert 1t.
Some will use their influence with
the operators. Others will approach
the miners officials.
They know that big strike right
now might result in overturning
the Republican majority in the
House and they do not want such a
thing to happen in the middle of
the Harding administration, which
has many legislative plans to ac-
complish in the next Congress
