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

Raleigh. August 27.?Bigger and
better than ever before U literally
and strictly true of the racing pro
gram for the North Carolina State
Fair this fall, according to General
Manager E. V. Walborn.
The be?t Is none too good for the
State Fair. Mrs. Edith Vanderbllt
declares, and two raclnfc circuits for
the State will each include the State
Fair. This Is the first time in North
Carolina that there has been more
than one circuit and the first time
that purses ran more than $300 to
9350 each.
? But It's a different story this year.
(There's the grand circuit with eight
' uflpuibeiB, each ufferlug 16.400 or a
total of 951.200 In pursen. Each
I member has the same races with four
191.000 early closing events, In which
that Governor Plnchot may win na
Itlonal prestige out of the coal situa
tion so as to become the candidate
I for Vice President on the Coolldge
ticket. A strike situation wave Mr.
Coolldge himself the fame that
prompted the Republican convention
of 1020 to select him for the vice
presidency and it may do the same
for Plnchot.
