President Roosevelt tells Upton Sinclair that he is glad that Sinclair is able to put Charles Patrick Neill on the correct track in his investigations of the meat packing industry. Roosevelt comments that he has asked Neill to report to him on both the treatment of the workers and the conditions of the meat, but remarks that “as I have the power to deal with one and not with the other, it is more my duty to look after the one than the other.”
