more like a grand than an upright
piano and sometimes had two rows
Of keys. but il was very inferior IN
power and tone to the modern tnstru-

OSCAR JOHNSTON DEFINES
ATTITUDE ON ORGANIZED
LABOR-GIVES RECORD.
August II, 1919.

August IL, 1919.
Mr.. T. ]. Belts, Meridian, Miss
My dear Sir: In reply to your
inquiry concerning my attitude
regarding organized labor, / beg
to say that / have been a member
of the Legislature for twelve
years, during which time ! have
been uniformly fair, courteous
and considerable in my treatment
of the representatives of organ
lied labor with whom ! have come
in contact. | have carefully ex.
amined the journals and records
and I find that | have never voted
against or opposed any measure
intended for the benefit of the la
boring man. The recent statement
circulated among the labor organ
izations to the effect that / voted
against the bill prohibiting cor
porations from blacklisting en-
ployees is absolutely untrue and
has been corrected by the editor
of the paper in which it appeared
The statement that l voted a.
gainst the electric headlight bill
is untrue. | voted for this bill
and am so recorded in House
Journal of 1912 at page 449. The
bill was House Bill No. 2O7, and
