President and advisers plan a morning White House conference to seek a resolution to the anthracite coal strike. Officials consider a plan to bring workers back to avert fuel shortages and urge a national and state inquiry into the coal situation.

Some radical ideas include government seizure and troop deployments, though none have gained serious traction. Legal actions against coal roads for carrying rates are possible but unlikely to yield rapid results.
