President Roosevelt offers encouragement to Rudolph Spreckels, Francis J. Heney, and William Henry Langdon in their fight against political corruption. Roosevelt believes it is important for people to relate to each other as people, and not judge people solely by the class they belong to, and that good people representing both labor and capital must stand together against abuses of power by both labor leaders and capitalists.
