President Roosevelt wishes his position on the difficult matter of child labor were clearer. Currently, he leans towards not promoting immediate action. However, if other measures fail, it necessitates a bill such as the one proposed by Senator Albert J. Beveridge. Roosevelt highly regards and appreciates Sewanee, Edgar Gardner Murphy’s alma mater.
