Friday, August 18, 1922. Warren G. Harding's busy day.


President Harding addressed Congress on this day in 1922 on the topic of the ongoing and extremely serious labor problems that had erupted this summer.  In his speech, he urged Congress to pass measures that he had proposed to deal with the ongoing problems, including the creation of a Federal Coal Commission.


He also signed at least one bill into law.



And he still found time to visit with a group of traveling salesmen.
