f Washington.?Holding the impend- 1
ing coal strike to be not only unjustl- 1
flable, but also unlawful. President 1
Wilson, in a statement issued with ^
me ??iijwn, oi aiB enure caoinet, call- j
?d on the coal miners of the nation, j
both union officers and members, to c
rescind the strike order effective No- fc
vember 1. i,
The President declined to enter into c
?.ne merits or the gontroversy n.ut em- 1
phatlcally declared that the strike, P
which he characterized as the most
far-reaching proposal in the nation's c
history, to restrict production and dis- *
' tribution of all necessaries of life, had 11
apparently been ordered without a t
vote of the individual miners concern- 8
?d. For this reason, the President *
aerved definite notice "that the law '
will be enforced and the means will u
be found to protect the interests of a
the nation in any emergency that may
arise out of this unhappy business." 8
The President's statement follows: n
"On September 23. 1919, the convention
of the United Mine Workers' 4
of America at Cleveland, Ohio adopt- 1
?d a proposal declaring that all cob- 1
tracts in the bituminous field shall be t
declared as having automatically ex- 8
pired November 1, 1919, and making J
various demands, including a 60 per
cent increase in wages and the adop- p
tlon of a six-hour work day and a fiveday
week, and providing that, in the
event a satisfactory wage agreement
should not be secured for the central n
competitive field before November, r
1919, the national officials should be f
authorised and instructed to .call a 0
general strike of all bituminous min- (i
ers and mine workers throughout tb.e t
United States, effective November 1.
1919-. ii
"Pursuant to these instructions, the ?
officers of the organization have is- t
sued a call to make the strikb effee- t
tive November 1. This is one of the ^
gravest steps ever proposed In this p
country, affecting the economic wel- a
tare and the domestic comfort and
health of the people. It is proposed 0
to abrogate an agreement an to wages p
"which was made with the sanction of g
the United States fuel administration, J
and which was to run during the con- 2
tlnqance of the war, but not beyond , -J
April 1, 1920. I
Would Affect All Interests. |
"All Interesta would be affected! I
alike by a strike of this characters I
and its victims would be not the rlqfc I
only, but the poor and the needy ?i* I
well?those least able to provide ii|^ *
?uiaui;ii a turn nujijny lur uumeSHM
use. It would Involve the shuttf^H ^
down of countless Industries, and
throwing out of employment of a latttQ t
number of the workers of the coM^ j
try It would Involve stopping jfljfi *
operation of railroads, electric
and gas plants, street railway line*
and other public utilities. *
"From whatever angle tha subject ?
may be viewed, It is apparent that v
such a strike in such circumstances p
-would be the most far-reaching plan *
ever presented in this country to limit
the fascilltles of production and v
distribution of a necessity of life, g
and thus indirectly to restrict the
production and distribution of all tne
necessaries of life. A strike under tl
these circumstances is not only unjus p
tillable. It is unlawful. v
"The action proposed has apparent c
ly been taken without any vote upon ti
the specific proposition by the liidivld- e
ual members of the United Mine
Workers of America throughout the tl
United States, an almost unprece- ^
dented proceeding. I feel convinced Cj
that individual members of the Unit- ^
ed Mine Workers would not vote, 13
upon full consideration. In favor of v
such a strike under these conditions.
"When a movement reaches a point p
where it appears to involve practically
the entire productive capacity of the
country with reRpoet to one of the
most vital necessities of daily domes- j,
tic and Industrial life, the public in- w
terest becomes the paramount conslderation.
Q
Time for Plain Talk. j,
i "It is time for plain speaking. These c
matters with which we now deal touch p
not only the welfare of a class, but Bl
vitally concern the well being, the
comfort and the very life of all the y,
people. I feel It is my duty. In the u
public interest, to declare that any
attempt to carry out the purpose of
this strike, and thus to paralyze the
Industry of the country, with tho consequent
suffering and distress of all
our people, must be considered a jj
grave moral and legal wrong against p,
'the government and the people of the s
tTntted States. I oan do nothing lest
than to say the law will be enforced, t(
And the means will be found to protect
the interests of the nation in any
