Charles Stedman Hanks requests that President Roosevelt submit two questions to Dr. Charles Patrick Neill. The first question is whether Neill, if he were President and responsible for a just enforcement of the Hepburn Bill, would uphold the Interstate Commerce Commission in continuing the practices Hanks criticizes. The second question is whether Neill would give it as his best judgement that the matter should be dropped and the Commission upheld in continuing the practices Hanks criticizes.
