 To Chas. McCallum:
 was just after wiring when l received your message, as l told you in my letter that l wrote last night, Dad Ingram was all right land is doing extraordinary hard labor fighting for the cause of la bor. Of course, as you say, the Ingram bill is not much account, but believe me it was not his fault for he fought as hard as any man could fight. But despite the eff forts of myself, Burns, Aldrich, ESvendsith and Ingram, we could not save the bill from being com-
 pleGely slaughtered. pr. Boyle, while fair, is not as aggressive as Ingram, nor, might add, there are few men as aggressive. | It was too bad he misunderstood the Kdnnedy bill when first brought up, but after explana- tion he was the bitterest OppO- nent. Of course that bill is still on the table, but don't think it will ever be taken up. must ad- init had a desperate fight get ting it. to the stage it is at, but Boyle and Ingram will keep it there. Charlie, again l say with 'all the earnestness of my heart Ingram is all right and my strongest supporter.
 Now, in regard to the 3-huur bill, it is gone tu Inc Senate and l thnk will be sent tu a confer enc". There is no chance of the placer miners getting anything. But the quartz will get very watery bill--bettrr than nothing. ] refused to vote for the bill on it's final passage. was so dis .suSted at seeing the representa- lives of the people nail them to the cross that didn't give a damn whether ever went tO another meeting or not. While l was in this mood l received letter from which DuOyed me up a little. It seemed to say to me :: keep on fighting. don't give up. It was great encouragement to me. will send it to you in this letter. but return it by mail. as l want to keep it. You will see by reading it that they don't expect [as much as we think we can do. Charley, this is the toughest bunch l ever met. and it shows there is no relief for the workers only by the workers themselves. Burns is a brick. He felt awful bad at the deal we got. He is fine fellow. Poor old Aldrich did all he could. Svendseth is a true union man and stands by his col OPS. He is a man of good ability as a parliamentarian, and if it was not for us fighting against them God knows what these fel- lows would do. We have d bill introduced by Roden in the Sen ate and one in the House. think it will pass. .Roden is all right.
 Now, Charlie, these are true statements as far as know. Hoping that l may be able. if I can't. do any good, to keep them from doing harm, and believe me at all times ready to fight to death for the cause of which I am member. remain, yours most sincerely, THOS. GAFFNEY.
