Judge Gray Commends Hla Coarse 1b
the Great Coat Strike.
Interview in New Tork World.
"It has been said,' Judge Gray, that -tha
interference of Preaident Roosevelt In th
anthracite strike, considering the power
and Influence of hla office, amounted to a
modification of property rights. How does
that criticism atrlke you?"
The Judge's reply was aa follows;
"I have no hesitation In aaylng that the
preaident of the United States was con
fronted in October,. 1902, by the existence
a crista more: grave and threatening
than any that had occurred since the civil
war. I mean that the cessation of mining
In the anthracite .country, brought about
by the dispute, between tha miners and
those who- controlled the greatest natural
monopoly in his country, and perhaps in
the world, naa brought upon more than
one-half of the' American people a condi
tion of deprivation of one of the neces
saries of life, and the probable continu
ance of the dispute threatened not only
the comfort and health, but the safety and
good order, of tha nation. He was without
legal or constitutional power to Interfere,
but hla position ar president ot the United
States gave him an influence, a leadership,
as first cltlsen of the republic, that en
abled hire to appeal to the patriotism and
good Ben se of the parties' to the contro
versy and to place upon them the moral
coercion of public opinion to agree to an
arbitrament of the strike then existing
and threatening eonaequences so direful
to the whole country. He acted promptly
and courageoualy, and in ao doing averted
the dangers to which I have alluded.
