Title	Easton, Christopher 1920-02-12
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs, 2/12/1920. Asks Eugene V. Debs if Pullman cars were attached to freight trains during the Pullman strike to bring the strike into disrepute. Says that when he recently made this statement in public, William Taft said it was not true. Note from Eugene V. Debs to Theodore Debs on back of letter. Tells Theodore Debs that there is "nothing in that story" described by Easton that is true. Mentions that the strike was brought into disrepute by "federal injunctions, federal troops, and lying newspapers." Says that as for Taft he knew nothing of the strike situation itself. Writes that his only role was to issue injunctions in the interest of the railroad companies.
