Letter from William D. Miles to Theodore Roosevelt
Former Armour Packing Company General Manager Miles writes to President Roosevelt regarding the case of the beef trust versus the government. Miles brings up a past meeting he had with Roosevelt in which Roosevelt agreed to support Miles in his vow to help the government seek compliance concerning the meat packing industry. However, Miles notes that he would not take part in the punishment regarding Armour meat packers’ violations. Miles suggests that he is reluctant to testify in the case but is willing to supply information.
