Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

Simeon E. Baldwin has read that, in a recent speech, Theodore Roosevelt criticized him for being of the the opinion that railroad employees should give up their rights to receive workers compensation if they are injured on the job. Baldwin objects that he has never held or communicated such a view, and quotes from a work he wrote on “American Railroad Law” as proof. He hopes Roosevelt was misinterpreted in the article reporting on his speech, but otherwise requests a retraction of Roosevelt’s statement.
