Conference on Miners Strike Rejects Federal Force Action
A conference discussed proposals sent to the President to settle the strike. Many suggestions came from reputable figures but some were deemed absurd or impracticable. Rejected were two recurring ideas: sending U S troops to Pennsylvania and seizing mines by the government. The meeting showed federal force was not a feasible option and the President supports that view. Some impractical ideas proposed leasing mines to the government to supply coal were also mentioned.
