On the ether hand, the shepmen have grown mere confident. Their disposi tion will be te reject the propesiti tin Ices the lenders of the brotherhoods' also privntcly put pressure en them le coin coin premise and settle the strike. Every thing waits upon tomorrow's confer ences. I'ntll they hnvc taken place the Administration wilt have no definite program. It Is still waiting pntlently for the moment when the President can Intervene firmly nnd effectively te end the dispute. Fer the meeting of Congress next week the Administration nns no legis latlve program. And It Is difficult nU ihU wrltlnir te see hew the President tan make any concrete suggestions. He may merely Iny the whole subject be bo be fere the ether brnnch of the Govern Gevern mnt. Or he mny nsk specifically for authority te take ever the coal reads. President's Rele Difficult The Pres-Idcnt's position Is one of great difficulty. Much crltlclsm-.has been henrd of his failure te bring the itrlkes te an end. Hut wntchlng him with n critical eve, I de net see hew he could reasonably have been expected te accomplish mere than' he has. Beth sides te the strikes were, as I lave often pointed out, determined upon a fight te the finish. The most influ ential employers in both cenl nnd trans portation were bent upon breaking the unions and they carried the rest of the organizations with them. The tin ten leaders were determined once for nil te put an end te the open-shop movement. Where Issues were as vital as these ap peared te be in the minds of the lenders pn both sides compromise wns virtually Impossible. The Administration may have been willing when the cenl strike began te tec a fight te the finish. A geed supply 'of coal was in existence, consumption I flias low and non-union mines were pre dueing mere than half of the coal re quired by industry. It seemed, whether the Administration thought se or net. the most favorable moment for test of itrengtli that ,veuld settle one way or the ether the dispute that had been threatening the country for several years. Wanted Issue Settled. There wns every probability that be fore a plncji came one side or ether iTieuld get tired of the fight and would jielel and there wus n ccrtnin advantage te be gained from u test of strength. Seener or Inter It must come, for both sides hnd been preparing for it for years. Until it wns decided, labor disputes euld be increasingly difficult of solu tion. Hut when the shortage of coal approached and the fight was ns grim as ever and when that very moment wns chosen for a lallroed strike it bccams apparent that the public would suffer seriously If there were te be a fight te the finish. The tltuatien is that the Administration desires te prevent a fight te the finish, and thnt both sides are determined upon hnving one. The difficulty of the President's po pe po litien is that he hns the most obstinate strikes in the history of the country te deal with. The public expects him te de something te end the strikes. Other I residents always have. Yet he has no power. The nation has no policy with respect te labor. It has net defined the position of organized luber. It is prob ably itself divided en whether organi ergani organi sateons should be recognized and col lective bargaining upheld or whether capital should be' supported In its drive for the open shop. Public Net United Even the effort the President made te settle the seniority issue did net unite public opinion throughout the country, r-v en newspapers and nubile men here usually sympathetic with labor took the Rreund that the contracts of the rail f,n1 ii ' thS' new empleyes must be upheld first of all. On the ether hand, much mere conservative papers sup ported the Administration. ... !ls "i6 Prudent had the most ob eb Jt,m, f strikes te deal with. He hJ.
