Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Grant Edens

Morrissey, President of the Railway Employees’ and Investors’ Association. Morrissey is the kind of labor leader in whom Roosevelt “most heartily” believes and would do anything to support him.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Grant Edens
President Roosevelt thanks William Grant Edens for the editorial published in the Tribune. He wonders if it is possible to investigate the matter and receive a report. Roosevelt has no power to interfere in the Colorado, Chicago, or New York strikes, but he is watching the situation through the Department of Labor and Bureau of Corporations.
