President Roosevelt informs Senator Allison that William Sidney Rossiter of the Census Bureau did a full investigation and report on conditions at the Government Printing Office that led to his working “day and night” and spending over $100 of his personal funds. He asks Allison if he could be compensated an extra $1000, and if this could be added to an appropriation bill.
