Thomas Roberts Slicer is making the case that Edward F. McSweeney has performed admirably at his position in the United States Industrial Commission and quotes a letter from Albert Clarke to do so. McSweeney has other supporters including Jacob Riis and Arthur Von Briesen. Slicer thinks that McSweeney should resign, but only after he has had the opportunity to answer the charges against him as an civil servant should.
