Letter from Levi P. Thompson to Theodore Roosevelt

In a recent article by Washington Gladden, the pastor criticizes Theodore Roosevelt for his commendation of trades unions when they are properly conducted. Levi P. Thompson strongly criticizes Gladden for this, saying that he assumes Gladden, “from his objection to the term would have them improperly conducted.” Thompson agrees with Roosevelt that while labor unions have a good reason to exist, they must be properly managed.
