No Extra Session Looms in Roosevelt Strike Talk
Washington reports state that President Roosevelt will not call an extra congressional session over the coal strike. He will not summon Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania or J Pierpont Morgan to confer, and sees Pennsylvania as the only authority to handle the dispute while miners and operators remain apart. The plan may be to involve Gov. Stone in considering an extraordinary session of the Pennsylvania legislature to reopen mines, potentially with eminent domain powers, but only with just compensation. Roosevelt voices disappointment over Friday’s conference and accuses operators of insulting him by denying troop deployment and shifting blame. Secretary Root and Attorney-General Knox pressed for clarity as talks failed.
