Title	Rogers, L.W 1942-06-08
Abstract	Letter from Theodore Debs, 6/8/1942. Writes that he was glad to hear that Rogers' celebrated his 84th birthday. Tells Rogers that he finds the rumor that Eugene V. Debs had amassed a great fortune amusing. Remarks that no one would care how much money Eugene V. Debs had at the time of his death if he was anyone but a labor leader. Informs Rogers that even as an official for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen that Eugene V. Debs always insisted that his salary be cut and subsequently never made more than $3,500. Writes that Eugene V. Debs even refused a $2,000 gift from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen to go to Europe to rest after his 13 years with the organization. Mentions that when Eugene V. Debs took his job with the American Railway Union he went from making $3,500 a year to $900. Tells Rogers that he is enclosing a clipping from the TERRE HAUTE STAR that should put the matter to rest. Mentions that he recently received a visit from W. G. Edens.
