Nathan Bijur defends President Roosevelt’s actions and character in response to a political cartoon published in the New York Herald. He was surprised that a dispatch printed in the Herald contained incorrect information about the reason that Roosevelt refused to see a delegation from the National Association of Stationary Engineers. Since Roosevelt can only receive delegations related to public business, Bijur argues that the situation “has not the remotest relation to labor or labor movements.”
