President Roosevelt tells Senator Beveridge that he does not believe the child labor bill Beveridge proposes has the support of organized labor, as Beveridge claimed. When Roosevelt spoke with labor leaders, the most anyone would say was that they supported the idea behind the bill, but did not seem to think it would be effective. Roosevelt was glad to find a position for Spencer F. Eddy in Argentina.
