Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Mitchell
President Roosevelt expresses concern over the failure of the convention on joint interstate agreement to agree to a settlement on the scale of wages for bituminous mining. He is concerned that the threatened strike will have a negative affect on industrial peace, business interests, and the general welfare of the country. He believes that as chairmen of the National Civic Federation trade agreement committee, John Mitchell and Francis L. Robbins have a duty to make further efforts to avert a strike.
