President Roosevelt tells Senator Beveridge that there seems to be a general sentiment against Beveridge’s child labor law. Roosevelt also comments on the possibility of finding a position for Spencer F. Eddy. The latter will depend on whether there are other people in the service who deserve it more. If Roosevelt does find a place for Eddy, it will likely be in South America.
