Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Carroll D. Wright
President Roosevelt thanks Commissioner of Labor Wright for his letter from Marblehead, Massachusetts, and tells him to “take a full holiday,” inviting him to visit the Roosevelts at their home in Oyster Bay, New York. He expresses interest in hearing more about “Murphy.” Roosevelt includes a letter and articles by newspaperman Walter Wellman regarding the labor conflicts in Colorado involving the Western Federation of Miners, which Wellman regards as a criminal organization. Roosevelt shares Wellman’s negative view of labor leaders William Haywood and Charles Moyer.
