President Roosevelt would like to Frederic Adrian Delano to come to Washington to speak with him and Attorney General William H. Moody about railroads and other businesses. Roosevelt believes that if there is not some kind of government regulation implemented, they will be faced with a movement either for government ownership of the railroads or for legislation of a “drastic and damaging character” against corporations.
