Roosevelt Meets Henderson on Anti trust Legislation Talk
Washington and Philadelphia report a conference between President Roosevelt Speaker Henderson and Representative Grosvenor on anti trust law during the current session. No specific measure was set, but Roosevelt pressed for action. Grosvenor noted the difficulty of tackling the trust issue in legislation. Meanwhile the anthracite coal strike commission resumed hearings after holidays with nonunion witnesses detailing intimidation boycotts and violence. The dispute between Miners Union President Mitchell and Coal Strike Commission Chairman Gray drew sharp exchanges during hearings. After eight days and about 150 witnesses the nonunion side closed their case, allowing coal companies to present their arguments.
