Mine More Coal/President Wilson Demands Coal to Win the War/ "The existing scarcity of coal is creating a grave danger -- in fact the most serious which confronts us -- and calls for prompt and vigorous action on the part of both operators and minors. [three stars] The only worker who deserves the condemnation of his community is the one who fails to give his best in this crisis; not the one who accepts deferred classification and works regularly and diligently to increase the coal output. A great task is to be performed. The operators and their staffs alone can not do it; but both parties, working hand in hand with a grim determination to rid the country of its greatest obstacle to winning the war, can do it. It is with full confidence that I call upon you to assume the burden of producing an ample supply of coal."/-Woodrow Wilson./United States Fuel Administration (black and white) Image of an eagle with outstretched wings standing on a shield with the stars and stripes of the U.S. flag; the eagle holds nine arrows in its left claw and an olive branch in its right claw.
