Coolidge Has Passed Buck In Coal Strike And Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania In the I\lan Who Find* Himself Saddled With Responsibility of Seeing That Anthracite Mining Operations Go On By DAVID LAWRENCK C?nr<0M It]] ?, T?, 011I7 Washington, August 25.?The Federal Government is trying again to pass the responsibility for getting coal to the several states. Feeling that authority is lacking to seize mines and oper ate them, the administration here will attempt to put into opera tion a plan that was discussed and approved a year ago when the soft coal strike was in effect. Secretary Hoover is believed to be the author of the plan. It is that the states which have plenty of law and authority shall take the initiative and seite the mines if necessary in order to get fuel, the Federal Govern ment lending a hand wherever possible. The fact that the anthracite strike centers In Pennsylvania and that Governor Plnchot Is the kind or a state executive who csn be relied up on to act courageously makes the ield for the experiment much more favorable than it wss a year ago when many governor of various po litical faiths and economic belief* had to be taken Into consultation. In abort, the Federal Government did not feel that it had the persuasive Influence then which It now has with the state of Pennsylvania, but should thf jsrerinwpt succeed u is hoped, other states would be Inclined to fol low the example of Governor Pln chot. The formal description of the sit uation which one obtains at the # White House Is as follows: There is one word that will Indi cate the situation In Pennsylvania and that word Is "co-operation" be tween the governor of Pennsylvania and the United States authorities. The United States Coal Commission will furnish Governor Plnchot all the Information that he may desire and he will co-operate with the Federal Government in undertaking to fur there negotiations and help in trying to reach a settlement. He has a Jurisdiction that is more Intimate and complete over the property and the personH that are engaged in tlic mining of anthracite coal than thpt which Is held by the United States i authorities. The foregoing gives enough of a hint of what Is eM'ected by the F?d-' eral Government of the state execu tives to show what's coming. The states will exert pressure either by actually pelzlng the mines and mik ing new wage contract with the i ten or by threatening to do ho. It was revealed at the White House also that the distribution of coal would be handled by the states after It reached them and that the Federal Government through the Interstate Commerce Commission would Issue the necessary priority orders so that coal could be expedited over the In terstate railroads to the centers of distribution. Naturally there is an unwillingness at the White House to concede that the new plan means an abandonment | by the Federal Government of its vi tal Interest In the problem. The executive offices here Issued the com ment that It would not be fair for the Federal Government to under take to turn this problem over to the Government of each state and It was luslsted that Governor Plnchot. for; Instance, volunteered to come In and help. In fact, the President would like to have the Impression conveyed that the Federal Government Isn't abandoning anything to the states and the states are not abandoning anything to the Federal Government. IJut the truth Is members of Con gress and constitutional authorities who were consulted a year ago came . to the conclusion that the Federal Government was without sufficient law to act In a coal emergency and that only the states could do what the American people had come to be lieve the Federal Government coul I do. The President hopes for peace by agreement rather than by any form of co?~clon or force, but he ttsnds ready to co o;>erate with any ?tale that takes dro?tlc measures. All eyes are now ?.n Governor 1'ln r eltot and althoui:i politics hasn't boon a factor on t!i ? surface Ho n* are many people here who believe Gelfand's Relish and Mayonnaise at all good grocers. .
