Click on image to zoom in
J. Max Barber writes to President Roosevelt in response to a letter that was published in the Miners Magazine purporting to be from Roosevelt and opposing labor unions. Barber writes that he saw the same letter published in the New York Evening Post previously, and while it was not presented as being from Roosevelt, it was “well calculated to lead the ignorant people to think that you were the author of the letter.”
