Harding Plan for Coal Strike Fails. Governors Respond Mixed
President Harding proposed reopening mines with federal aid and a national wage board. Governors largely supported relief, though North Carolina and Maryland dissented. Labor leaders warned of nonunited unions, and clashes from Cliftonville to West Virginia continued as talks collapsed. The railway talks stalled alongside the coal dispute, with violence and tensions rising nationwide.
