John Byrne does not believe that arbitration will settle the Anthracite Coal Strike, but a truce is possible. He suggests that President Roosevelt appeal to the miners to return to work in the interests of the public. This would address the immediate threat and provide time to call together a committee of sensible business men to settle the larger questions underlying the strike.
