the operators or the miners, but for
the public.
"The Questions at issue affect im
mediately all the parties concorned,
but the public most vitally. As long
as there seems a reasonable hopo of
an adjustment ot tho differences be
tween you, I did not think it proper
to Intervene. I still disclaim any
right or duty to intervene in this
way upon legal grounds or official re
lation, but tho urgency of tho case,
and the terrible nature of the catas
trophe now lmpendlnc over a Urge
part of tho people in the shape of a
furl famine Impel me. after much
anxious thought, to use whatever and
all Influence I personally can bring
to bear to end a situation which has
become literally intolerable.
"I wish to emphasize tho character
of tho situation and urgently insist
that each one of you must realize
the heavy burden of responsibility
now resting upon you. Tho evil Ir so
apalllng and so far reaching that I
think you are required to sink tho
tenacity with which you cling to
