Coolidge as mediator in 1923 coal strike foresaw with new commission
Washington Aug 16 President Coolidge faces a potential coal strike with a clearer plan than Harding had.

Coolidge will not act without explicit authority and aims to avoid the personal mediator role Harding bore. If strikes occur, the commission findings and substitutes from bituminous regions will avert public harm.
