President Roosevelt sends a telegram to Frank H. Hitchcock encouraging him to read the telegram Roosevelt previously sent to Frank B. Kellogg. Roosevelt thinks it would be a mistake not to include the injunction plank in the Republican Party platform, and says that they should neither yield to the extremists of the Manufacturers’ Association nor the extremists of the labor party.
