Letter from John Mitchell to Theodore Roosevelt
John Mitchell, vice president of the United Mine Workers of America, has drawn President Roosevelt’s attention to the fact that West Virginian miners and other labor workers were opposed to the action of Reese Blizzard, United States attorney for the northern district of West Virginia. Roosevelt informed Mitchell that if specific information could be filed against Blizzard, Mitchell should bring it to his attention. Since Blizzard’s reappointment will be considered in early December, Mitchell has requested that along with a committee of West Virginia businessmen that will be meeting with Roosevelt, John Nugent and Clark Johnson, members of United Mine Workers of America, be received as well.
