COOLIDGE TO DELAY COAL STRIKE ACTION TILL CRISIS OCCURS ned from Wi Page.) in this way, as he realizes there is virtually nothing the Government can do but plead the cause of the public, and, besides, he knows there is now enough coal in storage to prevent any serious shortage for at least six or seven weeks after the strike begins. The President also Is represented as feeling that if there is a strike it will be of short duration. President Coolidge has now the benefit of the views of Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania regarding the threat ened coal strike and the possible con- sequences. Senator Pepper arrived at White Court Saturday and left vester- day with Mrs. Pepper for their Sum- mer home in Maine. No Compeliing Power. President Coolidge while discussing the matter with callers has made it plain that the Federal Government has no power to compel operation of the mines. All that it can do now is to offer its good offices through De- partment of Labor mediators. This it has done, but apparently without any effect. After a strike is declared Pres dent Coolidge feels that he can come into the controversy as representing the public. Then, it is understood, that he will offer an arbitration plan which in effect will propose that mining be resumed and both sides shall abide by the decision of the arbitrators. That is the only practical plan the Federal Government has to protect the public from a lack of coal during the Winter months. The administra- tion has no well worked out arbitra- tion program. President Coolidge is willing to present any arbitration method which will be acceptable to both sides on the condition that mining shall be resumed and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding on both the operators and miners. President Coolidge is relying upon the prestige of his office to make ef- fective some such plan, but he does not intend, according to the present program, to do anything more than offer the mediation of labor agents until a strike actually occurs and the dispute then becomes one of public concern. Nothing Drastic Planned. Nothing of a_drastic nature is under consideration by President Coolidge. He is determined to do everything pos- sible in a conservative and practicable way. Arbitration through an impartial board, either appointed by himself upon agreement of both sides, or three commissioners, two of whom shall be selected by the disputants and one by the Government to represent the Gov- now appeals to him as the American way to end a probable strike and protect the interest of all sides, including the publi Secretary Hoover may come here this week or early next to go over with the President the carrying into effect of the Government program in the event of a coal strike. Except for a half-hour stroll about the grounds this morning, President Coolidge is devoting his time to reading and to the business of his office. This afternoon he will give to John T. Adams of lowa, former chairman of the Republican’ national committee, who will be accompanied on his White Court visit by Mrs. Adams. The President went to church as usual yvesterday. He was accom. panied by Mrs. Coolidge, Senator and Mrs. Pepper and Frank W. Stearns. He again attended the Congrega- tional Tabernacle in Salem and, as has been the case each Sunday since he first attended service in this church, the place was packed to capacit: SAAR WO S e RKERS RETURN.

Hard luck followed James Proctor, colored, today. Riding his bicycle down Second street Proctor collided with an automobile, demolishing his two-wheeler. Rougher luck was to come, for from the contents of a package which fell to the pavement in the crash came an unmistakable odor. The driver of the car into which he ran his bicycle was Detective Howard Ogle of the fourth precinct. . He gave Proctor a ride in his big car fo the fourth precinct and charged him with possession, transportation and breaking glass in the street. That looked to be the worst possible for Proctor, but as Ogle was search. ing the prisoner he cut his hand on a knife in Proctor’s pocket and he was charged with carrying concealed weapons.
