AS you may imagine, I am some

ports that you have been involved
in a business deal with the United
States Government 1 don't believe
for a moment all the calumnies that
hostile press is spreading about
you. But the fact seems to stand that
you have been the owner of marble
deposits which had, unfortunately, to
be condemned in order that the people
of Tennessee might realize some OF
the happiness that you and I have SC
long promised them.
I am sure, of course, that it was
mere chance that you happened to
own this land. and that the evalua-
ton you put upon it represented
prudent investment"
Still, though 1 haven't the slightest
intention of interfering with your
private affairs, I am somewhat en-
barrassed by the fact that you, for
several years, have been the outstand-
ing leader of the political labor move
nlent of the United States, after hav-
ing been entrusted with very i'm
portant public duties in the defunct
N. r. A., etc.
In these activities, which eventu-
ally landed you in the United States
Senate, you have been fighting our
common fight against the exploita-
ton of the American people by big
business, against Wall Street robbery.
and the corruption of government by
capitalist influences. You would there
fore oblige me. if you would let me
know what steps you have taken to
clear up this matter and to extricate
yourself from business interests which
seem to me incompatible with the DO
sition Of a labor leader and public re-
former Yours for the c. 10.
