John H. Murphy writes President Roosevelt about a letter he sent to Roosevelt in Washington, D.C., about the labor situation in Colorado that has not made it into Roosevelt’s hands. Murphy reports that several workers have committed suicide as a result of the actions of the mine owners and the state of Colorado, and that several other people have died from exposure. He requests that Roosevelt ask his staff to forward him the letter and that Roosevelt act on the information that Murphy is giving him to end the dispute.
