Andrew Carnegie tells President Roosevelt not to miss the editorial in today’s New York Times. Carnegie notes that the markets have recovered, and now he hopes for “hum drum” rest. Carnegie also remarks on the need for railroad regulation and the good work of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and that the “railway men” will favor it eventually. Carnegie hopes that Roosevelt will dictate a letter to be read at the upcoming National Arbitration and Peace Congress, and insists, twice, that Roosevelt should “take a holiday.”
