The coal famine became a national menace as the winter approached. "The big coal operators had banded together, "so Roosevelt has described the situation, 116 THEODORE ROOSEVELT "and positively refused to take any steps looking / toward an accommodation. They knew that the suffering among the miners was great; they were confident that if order was kept, and nothing fur ther done by the Government, they would win; and they refused to consider that the public had any rights in the matter. " As th...e situation grew more and more danger ous, the President directed the head of the Federal Labor Bureau to make an investigation of the whole matter. From this investigation it appeared that the most feasible solution of the problem was to prevail upon both sides to agree to a commission of arbitration and promise to accept its findings. To this proposal the miners agreed; the mine own ers insolently declined it. Nevertheless, Roosevelt persisted, and ultimately the operators yielded on condition that the commission, which was to be named by the President, should contain no rep resentative of labor.
