Bernard Shandon Rodey asks Theodore Roosevelt if he had the chance to read Rodey’s article advocating a commission to set maximum prices and minimum wages. In a previous letter on the idea Roosevelt wrote that it was an interesting subject that he wished to think more about. Rodey believes he was a pioneer of the idea, but will not receive credit for it unless Roosevelt or others advocate for him.
