LETTER WILL BE WRITTEN
Fight Before New York Union Elk
pected-Mr. Reynolds Re-
cent Trip.

It will not be known until next Sunday
whether President Roosevelt has been able
to satisfy the Central Federated Union Of
New York that he was not in serious error
in styling Meyer and Haywood, about to
be tried for their lives In Idaho. as ''un-
desirable citizens"
After long conference today with three
deleRates from the union 1t was announced
by the labor leaders that the President
would write q letter to the union to be
read at its weekly meeting next Sunday.
Until that time the labor leaders them
selves do not know exactly what the Presi-
dent will say, although they reported today
that they had heen pleasantly received and
entertained by the President. assisted by
James B. Reynolds, the special commits
sioner Of the President in a number of mat
ters. including the exposure Of the !nsan-
ftary conditions IN the meat packing estab-
lishments in Chicago. In fact. It now de-
velops that II was Mr.. Reynolds who ar
rangsA the interview with the President
and that his talked-of visit to New York
Tuesday was for the purpose Of preparing
tina way for the committee from the union.
When he was in New York Tuesday he
had.a long conference With John s. Henry,
member OF the committee, when every
thing was arranged. Mr.. Reynolds then re-
turned to Washington. and conferred with
the President. Mr.. Henry said today that
he had known both Mr.. reynolds and the
President long time. and had asked Mr..
Reynolds to fix matters at the White
House.
Pleased With the Case.
Tho COMMITTEES from the Central Federat-
ed Union consisted OF John 8. Henry, Will
liam A. Coaik1ey and Morris Brown. They
RENAMED with the President some time,
during which they discussed the utterances
Of the President on the Haywood-Moyer
matter and then they talked about other
things. afterward saying that they had
been pleased with their call. Az to what
had passed between them and the President
they said they could not talk.
Mr.. Reynolds shook hands with great
warmth with members of the committee as
they went away from the White House,
and then he went back into the executive
Offices and remained long time.
The letter Of the President, 1t Is thought,
Will probably not depart in any essential
feature from what he wrote to the Chicago
union short time ago. A proposition to
condemn the President will follow the read
ing of the letter to the union, 1t is predicted.
and red hot fight win ensue as many
members of the union are friendly to tho
President and some of them charge that
the union IL being manipulated to forward
certain political games.
