U.s.. COAL BOARD
WARNS On
STRIKE
Admonishes Operators and
Miners Agreement Must
Be Reached.

The United States Coal Commits
sion served notice today on bitum:-
nous operators and officials Of the
United Mine Workers that the Gov
eminent would not stand for another
strike in the soft coal fields. A joint
conference of the two groups began,
in Chicago today, and its delibera!
tons are being closely watched by
the Coal Commission as well as other
governmental agences.
Your agreement will spare the
commission the necessity Of fixing
blame for failure to adjust your diff
ferences," the commissions message
sold, leaving no doubt that body
would take drastic steps IL the nego-
tiators failed to set up a new agree
ment before April /, thus bringing
on another strike.
Chairman John Hays Hammond
and his associates on the commits
sion are hopeful an amicable settle
journment of the Chicago conference.
I The coal problem from the stand
point Of the consumer was presented
to the commission today by J. w.
Lieb, OF New York, chairman Of the
joint fuel committee of the public
utilities associations.
All industry and the public are
wholly dependent : on the coal in
dustry, Lieb said, and 1t is absolute
ly vital to the life OF the nation
that the public and the public
utilities be protected against Inn
pairment of the services they
render.
"This is certainly important at
the present moment" Lieb de-
.clared, "as the conditions that
brought about the strike of 1922
still apparently exist in aggravated
form, and if another strike occurs
soon it will be at a time when the
utilities will be without the saving
coal shortage they had on hand on
April 1, 1922. AS a result, q strike
this spring would result in an
appalling disaster to the public.
I'VE conceive it to be the desire
of the commission to aid in the
prevention Of such an approaching
disaster, and the utilities therefore
take this opportunity of offering
you their hearty cooperation, and
they agree to maintain the coop
erative and helpful attitude which
should be exhibited by all in sup.
porting you in the important public
service which you have under
taken"
