Nathan Bijur has redrafted his letter to “conform strictly” to the facts as he and Charles M. Lincoln understand them.

He was surprised that a dispatch printed in the Herald contained incorrect information about the reason that Roosevelt refused to see a delegation from the National Association of Stationary Engineers. Since Roosevelt can only receive delegations related to public business, Bijur argues that the situation “has not the remotest relation to labor or labor movements.”

Nathan Bijur informs William Loeb that he has written a letter about a false statement to the editor of the New York Herald. Although Bijur believes that he could force the Herald to publish his letter, he feels this action would be unwise since the Herald has shown signs that it is becoming less inclined to support Judge Alton D. Parker. As a result, Bijur does not want to “force an issue on comparatively less important items.”

Nathan Bijur tells President Roosevelt that he and Lee K. Frankel attended a meeting at the Metropolitan Temple whether the question of whether Russian Jews should be excluded from emigration to the United States was being debated. Bijur was excited and impressed that no one at the meeting was willing to argue in favor of exclusion. He believes that this confirms his theory that Jews need not apply to the government to specifically allow for the inclusion of persecuted Jews, because the average American is not in favor of keeping them out.
