The Coal Strike Precedent
Hon President Roosevelt Brought the Anthracite Miners and
Coal Operators 10 Settlement in 1902

How President Roosevelt acted in
1902 when facing q crisis in many re-
spects parallel to that confronting
President Harding is summarized in
the following review:
On October 8, 1902, President Roose-
welt took the first step to end the
strike of the anthracite miners when
he called in conference at Washington
the coal operators and representatives
Of the miners, led by John Mitchell,
president Of the mine workers union.
appeal TO Patriotism
AT this meeting President Roosevelt
stated his position as follows:
wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties
affected by the situation in the
anthracite trade-the operators, the
miners and the general public !
speak for neither the operators nor
the miners, but for the general
public. The questions at issue which
led to the situation affect immedi-
ately the parties concerned, the op-
orators and the minors; but the stu
alton itself vitally affects the public
AS long as there seemed to be a
reasonable hope that these matters
could be adjusted between the parties
it did not seem proper for me to
intervene in any way. I disclaim any
right or duty to intervene in this
way upon legal grounds or upon any
official relation that | bear to the
situation but the urgency and the
terrible nature of the catastrophe
impending over a large portion of
our people in the shape of winter
fuel famine impel me, after much
anxious thought, to believe that my
duty requires me to use whatever
influence l personally can to bring
to an end situation which has be-
come literally intolerable
l wish to emphasize the character
Of the situation and to say that its
gravity is such that | am constrained
urgently to insist that each one of
you realize the heavy burden Of re-
sponsbility upon him. We are upon
the threshold of winter, with an al
ready existing coal famine, the fu-
ture terrors Of which we can hardly
yet appreciate. The evil possibilities
are SO far reaching. so appalling, that
1T seems to me that you are not only
justified in sinking, but requir red to
sink. for the time being, any tenacitv
rs to your respective claims in the
matter at issue between you. In my
Judgment, the situation imperatively
requires that you meet upon the
common plane of the necessities Of
the public.
With all the carnestness there is
in me- ask that there be an imme-
diate resumption of operation in the
coal mines in some such way as Will.
without days unnecessary DELAY.
meet the crying needs of the people.
do not invite q discussion of your
respective claims and positions. r.
appeal to your patriotism, to the
spirit that sinks personal considera-
tions and makes individual sacri-
fees for the general good
Mr. Mitchell said in reply:
We are willing 10 meet the gentle
men representing the coal operators
to try to adjust our differences among
ourselves. II we cannot adiust them
that why. Mr. President, we are will
ing that you shall name n tribunal
which shall determine the issucs that
New-York tribune., 1921-10-19

have resulted in the strike, and If
the gentlemen representing the op-
orators Will accept the award or de-
cision of such tribunal the miners
will willingly accept it, even if it is
against their claims
George F. Baer, speaking for the op-
orators, in q long statement fatty re-
fused to submit the controversy to
arbitration, as proposed by Mr. Mitchell
for the miners
On October 6 President Roosevelt,
through Carroll D. Wright, Commits
sioner of Labor, laid before John
Mitchell this offer:
If Mr. Mitchell viii secure the i'm
mediate return 10 work Of the miners
in the anthracite regions the Presi-
dent viii at once appoint a commits
sion to Investigate thoroughly into
all the matters at issue between the
operators and miners and will do all
within his power to obtain a settle
! ment Of these questions in accord
ance with the report of the commits
sion.
Mr.. Mitchell asked for time to con
slider the proposal and to lay it before
his associates. Having done so, he replied
on October that inasmuch as the op-
orators had refused to accept the deci-
sion of tribunal to be selected by the
President and there was no law through
which the findings of a commission
could be enforced he must decline to
advise the miners to return to work
simply upon the nope that the opera
tors would comply with the recommcn-
dations Of the commission

ton was conference in New York on

War, and j. Pierpont Morgan. on Mr..

|DOLPH IS LEADING
HORSE AT HAVANA
Has Scored Four Victories
Big Purses Attract Large
Fields.

HAVANA, Cuba. Jan. 1.-The constant
growth and expansion of racing in Cuba
are vividly reflected in the amount Of
money being distributed in stakes and
purses amopg the horsemen racing at
Oriental Park this season. The sums
given away already are largely In ex-
cess of those of the previous seasons.
During the first twenty-five days of
the meeting the club has distributed
among the winning stables total of
S103.S0O. or daily average Of S4.71S.
During a similar period last year the
distribution amounted to SSS,300, or an
average OF S4.100 This shows a daily
increase this year of more than $500
over that of last season. The daily av-
erage distribution will show an even
greater increase when the time arrives
for the valuable stakes to he decided.
Eighty-seven stables have shared In
the money offered to date. and singu-
iarly enough a similar number Of horses
have won one or more purses during
that time.
w. H. Halls Dolph is the only horse
to score in four races. The triple win
ners include Golden Chance. Pomerene.
Buford and Hocnir. Twenty-one horses
have scored double so 1ar.
The Ammonia Stable. which is the
representative Cuban stable here, has
been enjoying a full measure of sue
cess. Horses carrying its colors have
won thirteen races, including one stake,
the Antilles Stakes. The stables total
earnings amount to $4,000. which
amount gives it a commanding lead In
the list OF winning stables The horses
OF this establishment. In charge OF
Trainer w. A. Carter, have been running
most consistently, and their victories are
always popular.
The stable of Senior f. Alvarez, In
charge Of former Jockey Willie DAILY, Is
also enjoying good success and is Sec
ond on the winning owners list, with
! earnings Of s5.175. Most OF this amount
was won by Buford. winner of his first
starts this season, and which has to his
credit n victory in the Thanksgiving
| Handicap.
Buford was purchased last winter by
| his present owner from w. II. Poison
for $40 900, at time when 1t appeared
his racing days were almost at an end.
The stable of Williams Brothers,
which I'm former years figured exten-
| sively in The winning column. has az
last gotten into its stride. and is now
one Of the largest money winners OF the
season. The horses that have contrib
uted mostly to this success are Military
| Girl and Natural. Mugivan and Faux
Col also have helped to swell the earn
ings of this stable.
J. o. Keene. the well known Kentucky
breeder and owner. has every reason
for feeling gratified over the results OF
his decision to race a stable OF horses
In Cuba this winter. Mr.. Keene sent
ten horses here in charge OF Trainer f.
Brewster. five OF them being maidens
at the time OF their arrival at Oriental
Park. During the first eighteen days OF
the meeting the stable won an aggre-
! gate OF $4,000. represented by two purses

Good Word for KID Carter.

Jack Downey. at one time an able
lightweight boxer. writes as follows :
II am a daily reader OF THE HERALD,
and being interested In sporting events
read your column and think II very
much superior to others. Noticing at the
present time you are writing boxing
events of the past. cannot understand
how IL is one never hears the name OF
Kid Carter. i mean the original Carter
who came from South Brooklyn. Surely
a man who was so good boxertis de-
serving of some consideration. When
was younger / was often in Carter's
corner. and while he may not have been
considered a topnotcher / will say that
without a doubt none was more fearless
than this chap. In courage l con-
slider him the equal Of Terry McGovern.
1 once did considerable boxing. but I
never classed with Carter. 1 wish that
some time in the future you would give
Carter little attention. which would
please his many friends"
In due time, Jack. Carter shall have
the attention you ask for him.
