Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William B. Allison

President Roosevelt tells Senator William B. Allison that, upon reflection, the actions of the people opposed to railroad rate legislation has put those in favor of a bill in a position where they should not hesitate to try to pass a bill with the cooperation of the Democrats. Roosevelt finds himself increasingly in favor of the proposition to forbid the granting of temporary injunctions in the matter, and discusses how an amendment containing this might be passed.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John D. Kernan

President Roosevelt tells John D. Kernan that he will not support any bill that does not have the rate changes go into effect immediately, subject to review by the courts.
