In this appendix to a letter to President Roosevelt, Commissioner of Labor Neill and Commissioner of Corporations Garfield report facts and figures that refute the claims made by Charles Stedman Hanks in his January 10 letter to Roosevelt. Hanks explained his view of the corrupt practices of railroad company statisticians, especially in regard to altering the sworn returns of the railroads. The examples in this document, however, fact check Hanks’s claims in regard to the figures reported to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The examples are in relation to the Lake Superior Terminal Company, the Seaboard Air Line, and the duplication of tracks.
