Congressman Blanton: We have for
some time noted a general and ever-in
creasing favorable comment among the
thinking people of this district upon
your courageous and independent strug-
gle in Congress against the tyrannical
and insolent attitude of organized labor
in attempting to dictate all essential
this country.
1t is indeed refreshing to find even
one Representative in the halls of Con-
gress who has the courage of his con-
yictions and is not afraid to make them
known.
1t is well-known fact that the use
ess, inefficient, and expensive United
States employment bureau was administ-
cred solely in the interest of the Ameri-
| can Federation of Labor.
| We wish to congratulate you upon your
fearless fight on all these vexing prob
| lens.
| Yours very truly.
