the orderly and peaceful settle
ment of all labor disputes. They
challenge the power of the gov
ernment to carry on the war.
'The continuance and spread
of these strikes would huve the
same effect on the course of the
war as a crippling defeat in the
field.".
Voldliig confidence fn the" pa
triotism of the miners, Mr. Roose
velt said he is sure they will re
turn to their Jobs when they real
ize the effect that stopping work
would have on men at the fight
ing front.
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."
Mr. Roosevelt said he was sure
the miners, with sons and broth
ers in uniform, do not want to re
tard the war effort to which they
have contributed loyally and in
which they, with all other Ameri
cans, have so much at stake.
Fair Hearing Assured.
After reciting some of the re
cent history of the coal dispute,
the president called attention to
the membership of the panel ap
pointed by the WLH: Davie B.
Robertson, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men to represent the employes;
Walter White to represent op
erators, and Morris L. Cooke to
represent the public.
Such personnel, he said, assures
"an impartial Investigation of
the facts," to be used by the
board In settling the controversy
in accordance with law.
Yet, his telegram noted, UMW
officials have ignored the Wl.B's
request that the case lie present
ed to the panel, together with a

OPA Also Drawn In.
He said; telegrams from some
members bf the UMW had reach
ed shim, complaining that OPA
price regulations had been dis
regarded and the cost of living
had gone up disproportionately
In mining areas.
"I have directed OPA," the
president said, "to make an Im
mediate investigation of the facts
and wherever a violation of the
law Is disclosed by that investi
gation, to see that the violators
of the law are prosecuted."
