Show SAYS ROOSEVELT IS THEIR PRIEND Railroads Made a MistaKe in Antagonizing the President, Pres-ident, Declares Carnegie; Luncheon Today. WASHINGTON, March 27. Andrew Carnegie, who is in Washington for a few days, today expressed the following follow-ing opinion on the railroad situation: "I absolutely indorse the President's attitude toward the railroads. He is the best friend they have and they ought to realize it. The railroads would better stand with him. If they do, not accept his moderate measures, they may be confronted by a roan iu the White House who will approach the question of the roadroads from an entirely en-tirely different standpoint. I regard the President's influence as to the railroads rail-roads as wholesome and conservative." Carnegie lunched with the President this afternoon. Others, present were Vice-President Fairbanks, Secretary Cortelyou, Assistant Secretary of State Bacon and Robert 8. McCornick, former for-mer Embassador to France. |
