McAdoo, who had married President Wilson's daughter, was Secretary of the Treasury from 1913-1918 and, until the Armistice, Director General of Railroads. At the time of this letter, he was becoming a serious candidate for the Democratic Party's 1920 presidential nomination. The Industrial Conference to which Rockefeller refers had occurred three weeks earlier. Convened by President Wilson, its purpose was to avert potentially crippling labor strikes as the country recovered from World War I. Item #23322
