Roosevelt Seeks Arbitration in Coal Strike Impasse
President Roosevelt's attempt to resolve the coal strike failed after two White House sessions with railway presidents and John Mitchell. Mitchell proposed immediate return to work and arbitration, but the railroads rejected any dealings with the miners' union. Roosevelt plans to move beyond persuasion, possibly a Congress session or federal action, as Mitchell is praised for leadership.
