President Roosevelt describes to Senator Lodge the difficulties he has had in negotiating the composition of the commission to examine the Anthracite Coal Strike. The mine operators did not want a representative of labor included. Roosevelt discovered the importance of labeling and perception, however, in that they would protest his appointment of Bishop John Lancaster Spalding as “eminent sociologist” and the addition of a representative of labor, yet they would happily accept the representative of labor being labeled an “eminent sociologist” and the addition of Bishop Spalding.
