Samuel GOmpers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, in a
letter to John A. Barron, secretary
of the. Federated Trades assembly
Of Duluth, expresses his pleasure
over the fact that William L. Carss
is again a candidat. for congress
from this district. He Endorses the
public record Of Mr.. Carss and calls
attention to the fact that Congress-
man Larson voted for a. bill to COM
pei seamen on the Great Lakes to
work IL hours instead Of eight-hour
shifts. =, i
Congressman Larsons secretary,
Ralph L. Nichols, arrived in Duluth
Tuesday to look after his chiefs
POLITICAL fences. Mr.. Larson is ex-
pected to be here in two weeks. He
is facing a contest in the primary
election with w. A. Pittenger as Il
candidate against him. Mr.. Pet
finger is running on beer and
light wine platform.
Mr.. Nichols believes Mr.. Larson
is entitled to a second term, largely
because the Great Lakes-St. Law:
renee waterway is at stake. Mr..
Carss could have set up the same
claim two years ago had he wanted
to play politics with such an i'm
portant project. Mr.. Carss contrib
uted in laying the ground work at
Washington on the deep waterway
and he was only prevented from
completing it by his defeat at the
last election. His friends did not
press his case before. the people on
the deep waterway. They believed
with the real" promoters that the
project should be kept free, from
partisan politics. Mr.. Carss had a
general public record at Washing
ton about which his friends were
pleased to talk. He did not have to
explain a single vote to the people.
Mr.. Gompers emphasizes the fact
that Mr.: Carss voted, not for labor
alone, but for all the people. Dur
ing his previous term in Congress- .
said Gompers, ::'Mr. Carss proved Of
incalculable benefit to the people as
he always voted against legislation
inimical to their interests and in
favor of those measures that would
be- beneficial. 1t was unfortunate
that he was defeated in 1920, al
though he ran far ahead of his par
ty ticket.
''Mr. Carss' successor, Oscar J..
Larson" charges Mr.. .Gompers, has
not proved that he has the interests
of labor and of the people in xiew,
but that he is opposed to Them He
demonstrated this very emphatically
by voting to compel seamen On the
Great Lakes to work II -hourainstead
of. eight-hour shifts.
