President Roosevelt sends self-explanatory correspondence. Roosevelt understands that that Judge Clements is about to investigate the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad companies and adds that he was not paying attention to the management of the two companies until Clements reported on the coal lands. Roosevelt has since heard several complaints of the companies’s management, including their connection with the grain elevators. Roosevelt believes that the complaints are widespread enough for a thorough investigation and would like the Interstate Commerce Commission, of which Clements is a member, to judge the matter.
