President Roosevelt has heard from Edward A. Moseley, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, that although the bill is “a sloppy piece of legislation,” it will accomplish what it sets out to. Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte disagrees, and Roosevelt is planning to meet with him tomorrow. He asks Representative Jenkins to ensure the bill’s passage, should the present one be the best currently possible.
