Representative Cannon hopes John Mitchell does not sympathize with the attacks by Samuel Gompers on Republican candidates for Congress. Cannon thanks William Loeb for including a copy of Mr. Sargent’s letter. Cannon feels he has gone out of his way to treat Gompers with courtesy. He has discussed the demands of Gompers related to the Pearre bill and finds them “unwise” for labor and is glad railroad leaders agree.

President Roosevelt writes to Senator Lodge regarding the Anthracite Coal Strike, noting that at present he has not been able to find any methods that would allow the national government to influence the strike. Roosevelt compares the tariff and the strike by saying that in either case, if people are not able to get the goods they need, they will blame the government. Roosevelt explains in the postscript that he is done making tours for the year, and will not make more speeches until after the election.
