Oswald Garrison Villard’s editorial advocates what President Roosevelt intended to say about the Anthracite Coal Strike. He discusses the points he will make to the strikers and operators if it becomes necessary for him to speak. Roosevelt believes that the coal strike emphasizes “the desirability of dealing with these so called trusts or great corporations” in the way that he has outlined in his speeches. Although Roosevelt is a politician, he feels that he can only consider the good of the country when such important situations and issues arise.
