President Roosevelt thanks William McIntosh, managing editor of The News, for the editorial he sent him. Roosevelt assures McIntosh that he is already having people look at the issue McIntosh raised. However, his power to directly effect change is limited, and the matter depends on Congress and the courts. He is glad the matter of railway rate legislation is approaching a successful conclusion.
