Charles Jerome Traxler writes on behalf of the Northwestern Retail Lumbermen’s Association and the Northwestern Retail Coal Dealers Association. The two associations have membership over the states of Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota; members consist of chiefly poor men. Traxler asks President Roosevelt to assist in securing legislation to regulate and control railroad rate abuses that are detrimental to the men who pay the freight. The bill has received favorable comments from some of the largest shippers in the country.
