President Roosevelt feels that E. P. Bacon must not have seen his previous telegram in which he confirmed his stance on rate legislation and clarified that the Allison amendment to the Hepburn bill only clarifies portions of the bill without changing its substance. He chides Bacon for his “concern” about the Allison amendment, which Roosevelt believes shows ignorance about the matter, and which may jeopardize the rate bill.
