I announced at once that I accepted the terms laid down.
With this understanding, I appointed the labor man I had all along had in view, Mr.E.E.Clark, the head of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, calling him an "eminent sociologist"-- a term which I doubt whether he had ever previously heard.

He was a first-class man, whom I afterward put on the Inter-State Commerce Commission.

I added to the Arbitration Commission, on my own authority, a sixth member, in the person of Bishop Spalding, a Catholic bishop, of Peoria, Ill., one of the very best men to be found in the entire country.

The man whom the operators had expected me to appoint as the sociologist was Carroll Wright--who really was an eminent sociologist.

I put him on as recorder of the Commission, and added him as a seventh member as soon as the Commission got fairly started.
