Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Augustus Peabody Gardner
President Roosevelt believes that the effort to restrict immigration will be good for the country, although it could be politically harmful. Roosevelt spoke with several priests who support restrictions as they are having a difficult time keeping so many Catholic immigrants active in the Church. He is concerned about Representative Gardner’s fight with Mr. Schofield and surprised at Samuel Gompers’s attitude towards eight hour restrictions at the Panama Canal Zone.
