President Roosevelt forwards to Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican National Committee, a letter written by John Williams, labor commissioner of New York. Roosevelt agrees with most of what Williams has written regarding labor organization. Roosevelt believes that rather than sending political literature, which is a waste of money, states need organizations of the sort that New York has been trying to establish. He asks Hitchcock to see Williams about this.
