What happened on Wednesday October 01, 1902?

Here's what happened on October 01, 1902:

• Anthracite Coal Strike Settlement by Theodore Roosevelt In a landmark moment of labor relations, President Theodore Roosevelt intervened decisively in the Anthracite Coal Strike of 1902. During the spring, United Mine Workers union laborers had walked off the job in Pennsylvania's hard coal mines, threatening winter coal supplies. Roosevelt took an unprecedented step by summoning both union leaders and mine operators to the White House, demonstrating his commitment to his emerging 'Square Deal' reform program. By mediating the dispute, Roosevelt established a new precedent for presidential involvement in labor conflicts. The strike officially concluded on October 21, 1902, preventing potential economic and social disruption.
• Rural Free Delivery Nationwide Expansion The United States Post Office Department launched a transformative rural free delivery service, initially piloting the program in three communities in Jefferson County, West Virginia. This innovative service represented a significant advancement in communication infrastructure for rural Americans. Within just one year, rural delivery routes had been established across 29 states, rapidly expanding to cover the entire nation. By 1902, the service was made permanent, dramatically improving communication and connectivity for rural communities who previously had limited postal access.
