George B. Cortelyou updates Senator Lodge on the situation regarding the Anthracite Coal Strike. On October 6, Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, went to Philadelphia with a message from President Roosevelt for John Mitchell. If Mitchell will direct the miners to return to work in the mines, Roosevelt will appoint a commission to investigate all issues between the mine operators and miners, and will try to obtain a settlement in accordance with the findings of the commission. There has not been a reply to this proposal yet.
