Letter from James A. Tawney to Theodore Roosevelt
Representative Tawney encloses a letter from Thomas-Louis A. Valiquet. The matter affects many laboring men on the Great Lakes. Valiquet and Mr. O’Neil, also a labor leader, together represent about 200,000 men. Tawney believes that President Roosevelt has previously received a letter from Mr. Dover, transmitting a letter from Mr. O’Neill, relating a conversation with Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna regarding hydraulic dredges on the Great Lakes. Tawney knows Valiquet and O’Neil personally and vouches for them, especially because they have done good work for the national Republican campaign. Valiquet would like to confer with Roosevelt before any decisions are made.
