Wright, the labor commissioner, concluded after a New York study and field inquiries that the anthracite strike stems from 1900 concessions and that unions lack full control. He urged a new autonomous anthracite miners union, a nine hour day trial, a joint conciliation board, tonnage pay, dual inspectors, and rules for collective bargaining to reduce irritation and guide a just system.
