mine workers, did not give approval
for this organization, which has a
candidate for s~ecretaryship in Percy

pressed to the message by Andrew

cepted as al endorsement of q labor
leader, regarded by him as hostile to
the interests Of his organization.
The international longshoremen's
/ union, whose representative signed
the telegram. has a candidate for the
cabinet in #. V. O'Connor, president
