Charles A. Prouty, in the absence of Interstate Commerce Commission Chairman Martin A. Knapp, writes to President Roosevelt regarding a letter from J. W. Midgley. The matter that Midgley raised is under investigation, and the committee will send Roosevelt a report in the near future. Prouty believes that the matter is one of practical importance, and that if Roosevelt becomes personally invested in the issue, “doing so could not fail to meet with public approval.” Midgley, while not instigating either of the investigations, is nevertheless well informed on the matters, and has been of great service to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
