Excerpt from The Mining Congress Journal, Vol. 8: September, 1922 In his address to Congress President Harding declared that the strike has revealed the simple but significant fact that the country is at the mercy of the United Mine Workers of America. It is this power of the miners' union that is responsible for the present condition of the industry, mainly because it is a power upon which there are no checks or balances and because it thus has been free to exert its strong force to suit itself with out regard to the effects such exertion of force might have upon the coal industry directly and the industry of the country as a whole. No amount of fact-finding or legislation can remedy existing situations so long as this ungoverned force can assert itself in almost any way it sees fit, even in leading up to the Herrin massacre. Sufficient authority and means for curbing this incomparable power already repose upon the law books of the nation, and it is to the pages upon which these measures appear that the government should look in its efforts to find the solu tion of the coal labor problem.
