Letter from Paul Morton to Theodore Roosevelt
Paul Morton returns the page from Boston’s Evening Transcript with feedback. Morton believes the main reason that railroad service has deteriorated is because of the large volume of traffic they are forced to move. Morton also thinks that shippers are using railroads cars for storage instead of the transportation of goods. According to Morton, labor unions play a part in the inefficiency in the railroad service.
