I haTe oakod :rou gentlemen t o como hero this morning t.o

give you certain facts ooTorlng tho busioua ot the Government ot tho United s tates operating under the Conat1tut1on. I will e.ek you Wb.en I have tinlshoO to withdrew, either to the Cabinet room or acme place ot your own choice .• . . • • in order t o cooter in a ti.ne.l effort to insure continued production or ooel tor tho manufacture ot steel.

In the tlrst place , we all know that t ho United States ia in a state or national. eaerseney. The present o.nd future defense ot the United Ztatea and or this bemiapbere 111 a t .st ake . It i a essen­t ial to national satoty that we continue the del'enee production pr ogram without dela.y , and at top speed. 'Coal. tor s teel plants 1.s a necess ity because ateel ia an essential in the llltlnutaoture or munitions. Ttu:re­tore, the cessation or production in the coal mine industry would create a turther danger to A.lllerioan defense, because a t this vitel ti:re it would slow up production or war materials.

I think tbet oonoluflioo 1a UDIII1ata.kable, and is opproved by t ho overwhelming majority or .Amerioans.

Because it is eaeential t.o national daten•• that the necueery coal. production be continued and not stopped, it i a thererore the indiaputable obligation or the President to see that this i a done.

ID spite or whet some people say, I 2!Lt ·~ to be a Constitutional President •

.J/ .._ leglalation bec011.ea neceuary toward this end~/t,. congreea ot the United St atu will without an:r question pa .. auob l egi slati on. And as some or you know, the pressure on me t o e.sk ror legislation durins the past couple or months , ror one r eason or

another, has been not only constant , but it baa been Yery bee.yY.

I am t elll ll6 you t hh with absolutely no ele~tent ot threat ,

-..ttat..d ' 1 i . u . Ft"bls eontereno'@ .-. I am statine a alJDple tact.

I hope, therefore, that you w111 work out some met hod tor the con­

tinued production or coal.

In regard to the coUeothe bargaining, which I a.a asking

you to resume at the end ot this meeting, I hr ve two suueetl ona tor

you to oonalder.

The 1'1rst 18 tha t you continue negotiations , with the hope

that you can arrive nt a conclusion , and t hat 1r you do not arr!Te a t

a conclusion , you will submit the point, or points at luue to an

i;,blt:.~;,,~~r.~~,ttC:~t'i. ,~~~~~)-, ,.•,l,a~,~.:; other n~e/lto. ,f (;_I ., The s econd ll that you cons iller other methods relating to

employmont . As I understand i t, the wage question and t he aback ott

are not involved in tbis at all. *'I t ell you rranltly tha t the Oonrn-~ ··"' " ' t ... ...:,

ment ot the Uni t ed States will not orde~ _. pass legisla tion ordering .I

a ao calle d closed shop. It is true that by agreement between employers

and el@loyees in 111.ar1y p l ant s ot vari ous industries the closed shop

is now in operation. This 18 e r e sult ot the legal collective bargaiil­

i ng, and not or Government OOID.pu.lslon on empl oyers or employees . It

is also true t hat 9~ or more ot the employees in these partioUl.er

ainee belong t o the Uni ted Mine Wor ker s Uni on.

The Government will never ooapel th i s ~ t o join the Union

by • Government decree. Thet would be too much like the Hitl er methods

toward labor . ?l fr // '*"'f I aust reiterate that beoause ot the continu....:t6 and spee diQ&

.. '"'/

up ,il' t be def ense needs ;!,_,/f,7,~~':...t:d States, because they are eo

clearly i nvol ·ud , am:l a t l ack ot ;;: tor our steel pl anto

would inJure/ the det'ense ot t he nati~ .11' is a national neoeeeitr

th't the production or thi s ooal be continued Without delay ,

And so I OJD asking you -- ee 39 lWi a I uetet lii a b~

-- I ne·nr threaten -- ~u;u: a o ttree 1 .i.ftL -- I am aaking you to

pleaae talk onr t.his probl er:~ or oont1n~1 coal production. It you

can't &Sl'ee today, pleaae keep on con1'erring tomorrow and Sutlday. I

don 1 t JJ&nt any t:tcti on that is~;"' i want nary chance gJ:n n.

And l et me have soma kind or a report on Monday next- It
