President Roosevelt acknowledges Senator Lodge’s letter and comments on his progress in finding a solution to the Anthracite Coal Strike. Many parties want Roosevelt to take drastic action on one side or the other, sending in troops, bringing legal action, or seizing property, all of which is impossible. He continues to seek a solution without taking steps that would cause violent repercussions.
