President Roosevelt feels that Interstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty has made a strong case. He remarks that he wishes the Senators from Vermont could be convinced to take a stand for railway rate legislation. Commissioner of Corporations James Rudolph Garfield’s report is complete, and Roosevelt hopes that the Interstate Commerce Commission will go into the case of railroad and oil transportation matters as thoroughly as soon as possible. In the meantime, he asks whether Prouty is going to look up the combinations involved in the anthracite coal business as well as those in bituminous coal.
