"The temper of the people is not to be trifled with and the needs of the country cannot be Subordinated to personal demands of either capital or labor in the conduct of a public service of the magnitude of the coal industry, and therefore I am prepared to give my support to the President in such steps as he may take to bring about an adjustment of the differences between the operators and miners, or in the event of a

strike, the operation of the mines under government control and supervis- ion."

The telegram received by President Coolidge Atom Mr. Bacharach is as follows:

"Commending you very strongly upon the earnest consideration which you have already given to the threatened coal strike in the anthracite fields, I respectfully urge you to use every power at your command to luring fLbout a prompt settlement of the difficulties which have dlvid-
