New Scheme Aims for Government Takeover of Coal Mines
Martin Dolphin proposes to Roosevelt that the government seize and operate mines to supply coal for government needs, using eminent domain to force resumption of production. The plan follows 1893 Cleveland-era troop action and is referred to Acting Attorney General Hoyt for review. In Shenandoah, Pa, tensions ease as troops may depart, while Father O Reilly condemns strikers and warns of further clashes amid ethnic blame and hunger in the region.
