Commissioner of Labor Wright discusses John H. Murphy and the Colorado situation. The statements in the pamphlet concerning the Western Federation of Miners are “on the whole true.” It is evident to Wright that Murphy comes to President Roosevelt “with clean hands,” but that “his clients do not.” Wright assures Roosevelt that when the results are summed up, Roosevelt will have all of the facts necessary to come to a just conclusion.
