Theodore Roosevelt promises that anything Richard Wilson Knott writes will have his deep consideration, but states that he does not believe that the Sherman antitrust law is the way to address the present trouble. He does not want to repeal the law, but does not think it allows addressing the root of the problem of industrial trusts.
