President Roosevelt was pleased to hear from John Nicholas Simpson, and assures him that he is doing his best to pass a bill related to the meat packing industry. Roosevelt fears that the opposition of the beef-packers will have a dampening effect on the livestock industry as their misdeeds are brought to light, but feels that if good legislation is passed the ultimate effect will be good.
