Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Taft tells President Roosevelt about a report made by Gertrude Beeks recommending changes to labor conditions on the Panamanian isthmus. The commission has acted on some, but others it does not consider necessary, and Taft would like to get the opinions of some people familiar with practical conditions of laborers on the isthmus. He proposes appointing a Commission to visit the isthmus and evaluate conditions, and suggests several people who could be a part of it.
