Ho gave no hint as to what action he would take if the min ers do not meet his Saturday morning deadline. He has the power, however, to order govern ment seizure and operation of the mines. Coal production must go on, he said, because war Industries can not turn out tanks, guns and am munition without It, and without the weapons, he added, "our sail ors on the high seas and our armies in the field will be help less against our enemies."
