President Roosevelt tells Andrew Carnegie about the upcoming Conference of Governors, which will have its purpose defined by the Inland Waterways Commission. Roosevelt invites Carnegie to attend in view of his knowledge of the nation’s mineral products, and says that his wish that Carnegie participate has been strengthened due to a recent conversation he had with Judge Joseph Buffington, who spoke about the importance of taking stock of the nation’s supply of iron ore.
