COOLIDGE TO TAKE
UP COAL SITUATION
Will Seek to Avert Any Action
Injuring Public

Washington, d. G., Aug. 1o.--As
soon as he returns from Marion Pres
ident Coolidge is expected to study
the coal situation and make a speedy
appraisement of the governments ca
pacity to cope with the threatened
strike in the anthracite fields.
The president has already held
several conferences in regard to the
existing situation and has discussed
with officials and national leaders the
vital factors that the government
must take into consideration. He has
expressed principal interest, it was in
dicated. in the extent to which a
strike on September would affect
the welfare of the people.
Those who believe that he will not
shirk responsibility when the time
comes pointed to hisN oft-repeated
statement that there is no right of
strike against the public safety, any
where, any time"
AS the expiration of the agreement
between the unions and the operators
draws near, the impression is growing
that the government must find some
agency to step in where the confer
ence in Atlantic City broke off three
weeks ago.
The date of expiration is August 81
with a strike inevitable unless a
rapprochement Is affected before that
time. The belief here is that the FIRST
effort Of the administration will be to
get the two factions together again
and to make another effort at an in
dependent agreement
Whether the government will take
the initiative and appeal to both sides
as President Harding Gid in the case
Of the strike in the bituminous fields
and in the case of the strike of the
railroad shopmen has not been indi-
Gated. 1t is thought possible he may
decide to act through the United
States coal commission which has
been authorized by congress to inves-
tigate the coal situation.
On the other hand the commission
has no coercive power to compel &C
ceptance of any agreement and could
act only in the capacity Of interme-
diary.
The department of labor is making
an effort to get the miners into a
more compromising mood and Secre-
tary of Labor Davis ON arrival here
next Monday is expected to launch a
move for another conference before
the term of grace left to the country
expires.
The president, meantime, Is fully
Of the situation as result
of information given him by Chair
man John Hays Hammond of the
coal commission and President Com
pers of the American Federation of
Labor.
The department of interior through |
he Geological Survey has prepared a
plan for operation of the anthracite
mines in case there should arise an
requiring that the govern
nent step into protect the public in
crest.
