Exaeutlve Notifies Both Miners and Operators Mining Must B« Resqmftl at Once--Muet Agraa - .'M "V te Arbitration &.%p. •' July lSP^resffem Harding on Monday delivered the government's final ultimatum to the warring coal miners and operators. At a brief, tense session at the White House, the President flatly informed them that coal mining activities must be resumed at once and that they must submit the disputes which they apparently are unable to iron out to the arbitration of a commission appointed by the government* In his talk to the coal operators and miners the President said: The information has come to me that your conference is deadlocked or at the best attempting to agree upon plans which will require extended time to work out. I have said heretofore that the -overnment prefers you, who are parties to the dispute, should settle It between yourselves because you best understand-all the problems Involved. The government cannot settle It for you. It will force no man to work against his free will; it will force no man to employ men against the free exercise of an employer's right. The government will not be partisan, but the government is concerned with coal production sufficient to meet the industrial and transportation requirements of the country and to safeguard against fuel famine when winter comes again, and it is 'desired to have production resumed at once. "Your government does desire to be helpful. With such a thought, therefore, I submit to yon the following proposal: "Mine workers are to return to work on the scale of wages which expired last March 31 and mines now Idle because of strike or suspended operations to resume activities without Interference with activities of mines now working. "The 1922 scale to be effective until August 10. "A coal commlMlon to be created at once, consisting of three members selected by the mine workers, three members selected by the mine operators and five members to be named by the President. All decisions by this commission shall be accepted as final. "This commission to determine. If possible, within 80 days from today, for the miners on a strike, a temporary basic wage scale which scale shall be effective until March 1, 1923. . "In event that the commission Is unable to report its scale by August 10, It shall have power to direct continued work on the 1922 scale until a superseding scale Is ready. "The commission shall investigate exhaustively every phase of the coal Industry. It shall reveal every cost of production and transportation. The President will ask congress to confer authority for the most thorough investigation and make appropriations necessary to do such work. "The commission shall make recommendations looking to the establish^ ment or maintenance of industrial peace in the coal industry, the elimination of waste due to intefmlttency and Instability and suggest plans for ^ dependable fuel supply. "I have taken this short cut to a resumption of operations because. I believe it to be in the interests of public welfare. "It is that simple form of adjusting disputes which answers the call of good conscience and a Just civilization.. When two great forces do not agree, there must be a peaceful way to adjustment and such an arbitration opens the way. MI do not expect' a reply without doe consideration. Please take the proposal to separate conferences, wish you to appraise the situation, weigh your responsibilities and then answer this proposal as yon wiah to be appraised by American public opinion. "I am speaking first of all for the public Interests, but I am likewise mindful of the rights of both workers and operators. You are also an Inseparable part of that pnbllc Interest. With due regard to all con' cemed, It ought to be easy to find a way to resume activities and command the approval of the -- A marten n public." - - - v':.... Small French Vlttaga te Tom With Excitem«nt Over Baffling Mystery' •--Body of CJilkl Found In ^ ' Mangled Condition. ; ^ J •parta--A baffling mystery Is exciting the Inhabitants of the small Brittany village of Gaos A1 Ludu, near Chateaulin, in the Brest district Early in April a little girl, Pauline Plcard, disappeared from her parents' farm, not the slightest clue existing as to what had become of the child and all searches proving fruitless. Finally, it was thought she must have been carried off by gypsies, although none had been observed In the neighborhood at the time of her dSaaf^ pearance. Just when the parents had given up hope of finding their daughter, it was reported from Cherbourg that a small girl had been found wandering there, whose age and appearance corresponded to that of the missing Pauline. The Plcarda immediately hurled to Cherbourg and declared the child theirs. Dont Knew Parenta. A carious fact, however, wag that "the child did not seem to recognise the parents and remained mute when addressed in Breton, although Pauline had been used to speak that language. Taken home, the child was recognised by neighbors and the police officer who accompanied her from Cherbourg was satisfied that she really was Pauline Plcard, although there was no indication a» to how die had Beached Cherbourg. The adventure thus appeared to have reached a happy ending until recently a startling discovery was made which makes the whole affair more mysterious than ever.
