Letter from Charles H. J. Bliss to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles H. J. Bliss sends documents to Theodore Roosevelt hoping Roosevelt will decide to help defeat the monopoly the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific is working to create on the Pacific Coast. If a fire insurance agent works for a company not on the Board, they will receive significantly less wages than those who only work for companies on the Board. Bliss has questioned this policy and received negative backlash from the Board.
