Emory Speer agrees with Theodore Roosevelt’s opinion in The Outlook regarding the interest judges should have in the laboring masses. He sends a copy of his ruling in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers case, which is one of the most pleasing incidents in his long judicial career. Only Roosevelt’s public praise of his work in the chain gang case and the Greene and Gaynor case equals it. Speer wishes Roosevelt safe travels.
