Governor Crane, in response to George B. Cortelyou’s request for information on whether Stephen B. Whiting would be a good candidate to be a part of the Anthacite Coal Strike Commission, opines that while Whiting is considered a man of high repute and ability, he is on friendly terms with the railroads and may not be an impartial judge. Crane thinks, therefore, that Whiting does not fill the requirements of the position. He sends President Roosevelt his congratulations on “his great success.”
