New Haven, Conn.,, August 27. - (UP) - Charging that the voting record of Republican Congressman Ranulf Compton of the third dis trict showed he was "anti New Deal and anti-common people" the United Labor Legislative conference sent an open letter today to the representative admonishing him to "go back to Congress as the repre- sentative of all the people of your district"
 The conference, stating it repre- sented 50000 members of the C1O, AFL and railroad unions in the dis trict, told Compton to put aside hate of the New Deal and of our Commander in Chief, President Roosevelt, and devote your energies to legislation which will recognize the part the common people are playing in winning the war; and which will bring about a tax policy based on equality of sacrifice for all"
 The letter told Compton to "see to it that the session of Congress which reconvenes does not repeat the mistakes of the last session." and that partisan pickering must end"
 Congress" it continued, should set the nation an example of united teamwork.
