Answer: the correct answer is B: For the first time, the federal government stepped in to help workers in a labor dispute.

Explanation: On October 3, 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt gathered with miners and coalfield operators from the anthracite coalfields in Pennsylvania trying to settle the strike that was lasting 5 months. The country relied on coal to power trade and industry and anthracite or “hard coal” was essential for domestic heating.
