Herschel V. Jones asks President Roosevelt for advice on how to let Mr. Hill know of an upcoming interview, whether they let him know directly or through another channel. Jones also discussed the issue of the case against the meat trust. He includes statistics for Roosevelt showing that the market is not much different than it had been before the meat trust. Jones urges a more conservative approach in the complaint, arguing that “a radical complaint increases the chance to lose.”
