Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry informs President Roosevelt that the railroads have agreed to the Navy’s wishes regarding government colliers, and he describes the positions of the colliers. The waiver of precedence for Panama colliers could once again agitate the commercial interests, but Newberry does not foresee long term effects if the railroads and coal suppliers can agree. He recommends the transfer of a few cargoes already en route.
