In a letter written just before he jeft Washington for Florida and made public today at the White House, the president declared that a *“minority of the interests involved™ by their re- fusal to settle were “largely responsi- ble'" for interrupted coal deliveries and other unsatisfactory railway con- ditions in certain parts of the coun- try. The president's letter was re- sponse to one from Stephen 1. Con- nor, seerctary of the KFederated Shop Crafts, Central Railroad of New Jer- sey and was as follows: Text of Tetter “Your lctter of March 3 comes to hand just as T am about to leave for the south, but T am glad of the op- portunity if affords me to express my sentiment on this subject.

The in-| formation which reaches me brings {he conviction that continued failure to make settlement is largely respon- sible for unfortunate conditions as to 1ailroad movements in some areas, eand for interrupted deliveries of coal during the winter, with resultant suffering to many communities and much demoralization to industry.
