President Roosevelt has received two telegrams on the matter of an ongoing dispute about wages between coal mine operators and miners, the texts of which he includes for John H. Winder to see. Roosevelt tells Winder that he does not have the authority to create the commission that Winder suggested, as it would take an act of Congress, and is not prepared to say what action he is personally able to take.
