A- . .n ‘A1I__ OFFICIAL STATEMENT GWEN OUT The President had urged the con- tending pa ies to cease strife. in the inter-es s of the public welfare. The miners, through the president of their union. had expressed a will- ingness to submit their dinerenees to the arbitration of a tribunal. to be named by the President, and to enter into an agreement to abide by the terms fixed by the arbitration for a period of from one to five years. The employers, through the prai- dents of the coal companies and a leading independent mine operator, had squarely refused arbitration. They had denounced the miners' labor organization as a lawless and Anarchistic body. with which they could have no dealing. They demanded Federal troops. to ebsure complete protection to workers and their families in the mining region. and court proceedings against the Miners‘ Union. . . They had ofiered. if the men reâ€" turned to work. to submit grievances at individual collier‘ies to the decis- ion of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas for the District of Pennsylvania in which the colliery .-uâ€"- - The immediate partia to the strike say they will continue as heretofore.

The President at the outset ,ex- pressed his hearty thanks for their attendance, and stated that. owing to his peculiar relations to the situa- tion, he felt' that he should make a. very careful statement of his ‘posi- tion and of his intentions in asking them to meet. I speak for neither the operators nor the miners. but for the general public. The questions at issue which led to the situation affect immedi- ately the parties concernedâ€"the operators and the miners. but the situation itself vitally affects the public. As long as there seemed to be. a. reasonable hope that these matters could be adjusted between the parties it did not seem proper to me to intervene in any way. I disclaim any right for duty to inter- vene in this way upon legal grounds or upon any official relation that I bear to the situation, but the urg- ency and the terrible nature of the catastrophe impending over a large portion of our people in the shape of a wintef fuel famine impel me. after much anxious thought 10 be- lieve that my duty requires me to use whatever influence I person- a'illy can to bring to an .end a situa- tion which has become literally in- tolerable.
