Government tightens grip on rail strike and coal supply
President Harding announced that the railroad labor board remains the sole federal body handling the strike, with Washington taking control of coal distribution and rail facilities. Hoover’s plan to curb coal profiteering is endorsed by Attorney General Daugherty, as 610,000 miners strike and 185,000 still work. Several other items include Coolidge’s Pacific tour, rail shipping losses, and various legal and criminal notices.
