M<ethod Of Saving Coal Situation
Outlined By Federal Officialdom
Washington, IVtarch 11.—A plan to prevent the public from suffering, if the 530,000 union miners strike April 1, as threatened, is being outlined by government officials. Arous¬ ed by the failure of bituminous operators to respond thus far to the government call for a national wage conference, cabi¬ net members planned action to save the nation from threatened fuel famine.
Attorney General Daugherty may be called upon to carry the matter to the courts,—after the walkout, it is said. Until the strike the government cannot appeal to legal au¬ thority to force conciliation in esther the camp of the miners or that of the operators. Mandnnuis proceedings before the strike are impossible,, it was officially stated.
The.only law under which the government can prdceed Is the statute pro-viding for the operation of the nation's 'vital industries. Officials were surprised at reports that the gov¬ ernment plimned immediate couit action to draw the bitum¬ inous operators into conference. Labor is staunchly opposed to the injunction practice in any case, they stated.

The povemment fears the mine war, whldi Is the climax of a three months' strike at the gold mines, may grow Into rebellion. Worse than this. It wae stated here tonight, would be a r^uce war between whites and blades.
The fact that Boers have elded with the strikers and taken part in the flghting. including the capture of towns, lends weight to suggestions that the trouble may be more serious than a battle between strikers and polioe.
Native feeling has been stirred to a high pitch by a report that an a\-i- ator, flying low, dropped a bomb on a hall crowded with miners, killing scores.    This was  reported  to  \\a.ve
The minority members "of council then lied the hands of the rulers by refusing to pefmit som'! of their ofliclals to quit.'

are eager to hold such a conference, but operators in the bituminous fields are so divided on the question that It would seem there would be Uttle likelihood of operators uniting on a general wage program.
The government, while urging th<j conference, does not have any means ot enforcing such a conference.
If the conference plan collapses, .as seems probable, the government is prep.ared to propose arbitration through a commls:iion which the President will appoint This com¬ mission will be made up of one or two operators to be named hy the opf.'Jiors and one or more miners to be njimed ^y the union. The chair- mau is fo be named by Ihe President.
Should the atriko take place, the admiul.stration   will   consider   court
' action to restrain the men from quif- ting.    It  is  realized by  the  tabuu:. according   to   high   authority,   how¬ ever,   that   this   would   not   tn   itself , keep  the mines  working.    The  men 1 could   not   be   forced   to   work,   but I strike   benefits   could    be    tied    up, handicapping   officers   of   the   union. Beyond this the administration t\sut not looked. It can Ue stated on hlKh- est authority that if u strike come;* j the  President  will  have  cabinet  ad- I vlco to assume sufficient control of I the  coal   mining   industry   to  assure the country of a coal supply. The   first   consideration   would   be j the operation of the railroads.  They I must not be paralyzed. It Is as.-ti rted here.  After  the railroads,  the  ncjd.s of householders will be considered and thereafter the needs of t?s9fntial in- j dustrles.
Results of the strike poll taken by the United .Mine Workers w.re re¬ ceived by the lYesldent today lr<«nj newspaper correspondents. There waa no comment made upon the vote.  It
I had been expected in official circles. After 18 holos of golf this mumiiiK at Ormond the President playod nlno holes this afternoon and left tlii.H morning on Kdward McLean's house¬ boat for points further south. Crowds
i greeted him at Ormond and at New SmjTna and he devoted some timo at each place to shaking hands with winter tourists and towns folk.
The exfcutlve motored to New Smyrna from Ormond after luncheon. He also played goli at the latter place. He had pkinned to go over th» course at Daytona. but at th»i Luse raomont changed his plans.
