Letter from James Bronson Reynolds to William Loeb

James Bronson Reynolds informs William Loeb that the invitation to Daniel Keefe has been sent, but Keefe will be in Chicago Friday and Saturday. Reynolds notes that the result in Maine gives both Samuel Gompers and the Republicans “the chance to shout,” but that there is not the least feeling that the labor leaders have made a mistake. Reynolds wants to speak with Loeb regarding the “labor situation” and the “present tangle.” Reynolds believes it would be worthwhile for the Republican leaders of the American Federation of Labor to be on more intimate terms with President Roosevelt. Reynolds invites Loeb to lunch at the Century Association.
