Writes Commission, Urging
SPEEDY Agreement" on
New Pay Scale.
Rx 1nternational News Service.

Expressing regret that the anthra-
cite mine dispute is not yet set
tied, President Harding predicted
speedy agreement" in a message
to the United States Coal Commits
sion made public this afternoon by
Chairman John Hays Hammond.
The President declared the public
deserves prompt assurance that
there will be no interruption after
August 81 in the flow of household
coal from mine to market.
The letter in full to Hammond
follows:
"In acknowledging your brief
statement of the progress of the
work of the Coal Commission,
wish to express again the high
value I put upon the work you are
doing. Though this is the season
of the year when both temperature
and vacation habits may tempt the
average citizen to dismiss the sub
iect of coal. the issue remains a
serious one, and I, therefore, be-
speak for the forthcoming report
of your commission on the anthra-
cite industry a most thoughtful re-
Election.
mo solution of this vexing eco
nomic question can be found ex-
cept as the general public thor
oughly digests the facts you pre-
sent and decides upon the proper
action to take.
81 regret that those who serve
the anthracite consuming public as
mine operators and mine workers
have not already agreed upon the
terms of the new contract, but
with your report available on July
/, there should be no delay in
reaching a speedy agreement The
public deserves prompt assurance
that there will be no interruption
after August 81, in the flow of coal,
GAS I believe your commission
stated in an earlier report industry
and the home alike must be free from
menace of constant interruption of
their coal supply. To that end pub
lie opinion must be well-inforned

trust our citizens may keep up a
lively interest in coal in season and
out of season. The subject is a
most interesting one, but it is
much more; the issue is a vital one
in that it affects the well.being OF
the whole nation, and not in a ma.
terial way alone, for l know ques-
tons are before you that strike
deep into the very heart of our
