Emery Told Story
Frankly aud quickly Emery on the

/ commended a contribution of $500 To
| oppose Reprcs, ntative Buchanan Of
! Illinois for reelection. The cores
pondence suggested bitter feud be
! tween the National Association Of
! Manufacturers and the American Fed
Grafton of Labor i'm an attempt 10 Sc
cure control Of the legislature agen-
| Cies of the government. Discussing
| the recent sundry civil bill, with its
provision prohibiting the expenditure
! of certain funds for the prosecution
/ of farmers and laborers unions un-
/ der the Sherman law, Emery wrote
to President John Kirby Jr. Of the
! association, March Z, 1913, after Pres
| ident Taft had vetoed the bill: u want
to emphasize as hard as / can the
importance Of lining up for a tre-
/ mendous demonstration when this
| bill reaches President Wilson, as II
undoubtedly will, with the same pro-
! vision in It.
"You will then have an early OPP
! portunity TO decide whether the gilt
! tering Democratic motto, Equal
rights for all and special privileges
! for none" means anything, or wheth-
er the administration has surrendered
/ completely or will merely turn over
/ the department of labor.
