Dwight Braman sends his thoughts on how to end the Anthracite Coal Strike. He proposes the Reading Co. be put into receivership, a situation with which he has some experience, having served as Receiver for the Bay State Gas Co. and the St. Louis Kansas South Western Railway Co. Braman believes the Reading Co. situation warrants action in the federal courts. He also suggests that President Roosevelt consult with William H. Baldwin, Jr.
