Letter from John T. Clarke to Theodore Roosevelt
Knowing of Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in industrial safety, John T. Clarke calls his attention to a number of reports detailing rates of accidents in the operation and use of elevators. New York, which lacks appropriate laws, has much higher rates of incidents than several nearby states which have passed legislation on safety measures. Clarke asks if some of Roosevelt’s friends who are member of the National Civic Federation could advocate for the passage of similar safety legislation in all states.
