Morgan and Bacon Meet Roosevelt Over Coal Strike

At Washington on Oct 13 J Pierpont Morgan and Robert Bacon arrived and met with President Roosevelt at the White House, joined by Secretary Root. They discussed a commission to settle coal strike disputes, to govern conditions for at least three years, with members spanning engineering, law, sociology, and mining expertise. Miners would return to work once the commission is formed.

Authorized Statement of the Conference

The White House authorized release presents the coal companies position in the anthracite strike. It notes 75 operating companies and 147,000 miners with 30,000 under age, many in the Mine Workers' Union led by John Mitchell, while others are nonunion. Violence and intimidation have affected working in the mines, and the companies seek safe work and fair terms without arbitration with the union. They reiterate a prior offer to arbitrate grievances via local judges if needed, and call for increased coal supply for winter while preserving workers' rights.
