Senator Lodge reports on the dangerous political situation in New England being caused by the coal strike. Lodge says schools are closing for lack of fuel and the cry for the government to take control of the coal mines is getting more insistent. Lodge understands President Roosevelt can do nothing directly but asks if there is anything the government can appear to be doing to stop the strike.
