Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles Dwight Willard

Theodore Roosevelt remarks to Charles Dwight Willard how similar his beliefs are to Willard’s article “Who is going to do it?” and hopes to share the article with Samuel Gompers when they lunch. Roosevelt discusses the recent decision by the Supreme Court declaring the Workmen’s Compensation Acts unconstitutional and his desire to remove all those from the bench who voted against it. Roosevelt is pleased by Willard’s comments on his relationships with “plain people” and describes his time on the ranch as his happiest.

Letter from Charles J. Bonaparte to Theodore Roosevelt

Attorney General Bonaparte informs President Roosevelt that the Supreme Court has decided against the administration in Adair vs. U.S. This establishes that it is unconstitutional to forbid interstate officers or inter-state carriers from firing workers who join labor organizations. Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote the majority opinion, while Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and J. McKenna wrote separate dissenting opinions. Bonaparte advises Roosevelt to read the opinions before submitting the official text of his special message, because it will likely change what he says.
