NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Hltnerto I'M
published details of the drastic plan
President Roosevelt had decided to
adopt to settle the anthracite strike OF
1902, said to have been known only to
two members OF his Cabinet and a
few persons who were TO take part in
It's execution appear in the fifth in
staliment of the Colonel's own letters
edited by Joseph Bucklin Bishop in
the January issue OF Scribner's Maya
zine. The article also gives some in
innate sidelights on Rooseyelt's atti-
tude toward union labor.
After 20 persons had been killed
and about 40 injured during the riot
ing In the coal fields and the approach
OF winter brought with it the prospects
OF nationwide fuel famine, the
mayors OF large cities and governors
OF several states appealed to the Pres
ident, Mr.. Bishop says, to interfere in
the interest of the public welfare and
safety. According to his biographer,
Mr. Roosevelt had decided, in case
the operators persisted in their refusal
TO accept commission, to assume
powers which the Constitution did not
specifically give him" and to use the
United States army to suppress all
violence and disorder.
Writing to Robert Bacon on October
), 1902, shortly after conference in
Washington of the mine operators and
the strike leader, the late John Mitch
ell, in a futile effort to settle the trou-
ole by the appointment of a commits
sion OF investigation or arbitration, he
said:
..The situation is bad. especially
because 1t is possible it may grow in
finiteiy worse. If when the severe
weather comes on there is coal fam
inc. I dread to think of the suffering
in parts of our great cities especially,

ever seen. OF course once the rioting
has begun, once there is a resort to
mob violence, the only thing to do is
to maintain order. 1t is a dreadful
thing to be brought face to face with
necessity Of taking measures, how
ever unavoidable, which will mean the
death of men who have been madden
ed by want and suffering"
In a letter to Senator Lodge he
wrote that he was feeling" his way
to solve the difficulty and was deter
mined not to be drawn into any "vlo-
lent step which would bring reaction
and disaster afterward." At another
time, he said: Most emphatically

ness. have been told on excellent
authority, that the disorder has been
very great and of an evil kind. On
equally good authority, l am told the
exact contrary. shall speedily find
out for myself. stand against So
ciaiism; against anarchic disorder"
Colonel Roosevelt's drastic" plan
of action which Mr.. Bishop saws he
makes public with the late Presidents
permission and authority, included his
appointment OF an investigating or
arbitrary commission without REGARD
to whether or not the operators asked
for 1t or agreed to abide by its deci-
sions. He asked ex-President Cleye-
land in case he were to appoint such
a commission, IL he would accept a
place on 1t, and, according to Mr.. Bish.
op, Mr.. Cleveland replied favorably.
This commission was only part of
the Presidents pian," says Mr.. Bish-
op. THE Investigation which it was
to conduct would take time. In order
that mining operations might be re-
sumed as speedily as possible, the
President consulted with Senator
Quay, who was all-powerfui l. Penn

him that whenever the President de-
sired him to do so he would have the
governor of the state notify the Presi-
dent that he could not keep order in
the coal region and needed federal
interference.
