President Roosevelt has spoken about the bill in its present form with Commissioner of Labor Charles Patrick Neill and believes that Senator Anselm Joseph McLaurin’s amendment is wrong. He urges Senator Beveridge not to vote down the bill simply because it does not go far enough, and points out that having an imperfect bill passed is better than not having any bill at all.
