William A. Kissam informs Theodore Roosevelt about the troubles that he is going to encounter with the railroad matter. He states that the Interstate Commerce Commission does not need certain powers and that certain people need to come forward with all of the information that they have. Kissam continues on to state that there are some wrong doings going on within the different railroad companies and if these are not addressed then the President will have either anarchy or revolution on his hands with the workers.
