Lyman Abbott writes to President Roosevelt regarding the recent judgements passed down by Ashley M. Gould and Daniel Thew Wright, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in a case involving labor leader Samuel Gompers. Abbott thinks that Gould was correct in issuing an injunction, but is less certain about Wright’s actions. He believes that Roosevelt is correct to not interfere at this point.
