Taft's Labor" Group
Headed By A Boss

One of your high priced press agents pulled a
boner and the bestkept secret of the 1850 election
campaign is secret no longer.
Remember how carefully you concealed the
identity of the real brains behind your called
Labor League for Taft?
Remember how hard you worked to perpetuate
the fiction that its leaders real Labor men?
Well, the cat is out of the bag
The last time your alleged Labor organization
met in Columbus your press agent issued yarn
saying they wanted you 10 for President of the
United States.
And the press agent said a. Eugene Carr of
Canton will call the next meeting" He also re-
ported Carr your best organizer. In fact, he
said Carr led in organization of local league
units last year"
Sounds like Carrs mighty fine Labor organ
izer, doesn't it?
But the fact is Carr has been official of the
Brush Moore Newspapers Inc. which big
string of daily papers in Ohio AS matter of fact,
he had the title of Director of Radio for the
Brush-M Moore Newspapers which also owns a string
of radio stations.
Around 1947, Carr was also president of the
Canton Chamber of Commerce, serving two terms
In that office
That's Labor leader, Mr. Taft?
Funny thing about that Labor League for Taft"
meeting, Senator. Your press agent also reported
you sent recorded message TO Mr.. Carr and Com
pany, thanking them for in your words, standing
up against the self appointed Labor bosses"
By the way, who elected Carr a Labor leader?
Was it the Canton Chamber of Commerce or the
Brush Moore Newspapers?
Also, who paid Carr for his services? His name
didn't appear the official report filed by the
taft for Senator Committee" That was the report
which showed how much your committee gave the
other leaders of the so-called Labor League for
Taft"
That report shows your committee gave Willis
o. Hall, who identified in your publicity as
Chairman of the Labor League for Taft. The report
shows your committee gave Hall $3.50.
IL also shows your committee gave 81 625 to
Marion Patten, who identified the Mont
gomery County Chairman of the Labor League for
Taft Patten, you will recall, active in the
Wallace campaign in 1948 and also fought for the
UE, when that so-called Labor Union was expelled
from CIO because of its Communist domination.
That same report, MIR. Taft shows your commit
mittee gave 81 $50 to Bryan CARRIER of Toledo
5000 TO Fred Ross of Cincinnati and $268 to Otto
Lyman of Warren who got his name i'm the paper
because he quit minor post in the Trumbun CIO
Council to join your organization. Your publicity
referred to these men Labor men,"
Incidentally, Senator, your press agent quoted
Howard Reynolds of Delaware, whom he identified
as field representative saying We've started
job in 1850 that hope finish in 1852"
Just to refresh your recollection, your commit
tee gave Reynolds So, ,098.13 for working from May
4 to November 6. Maybe he wants to be your
contribution list for two more years.
Sounds like funny Labor outfit you're run
ning Senator. Its top organizer is past president
OF the Canton Chamber of Commerce. 1t agrees to
meet on call from man who big wheel in a
. big newspaper chain 1t names ex-Wallacites who
support Communist dominated organizations as
county charmen and gives them money too.
Sure you don't have the Labor Movement mixed
up with the National Association of Manufacturers?
Heaven protect workers from your kind of
Labor OragniZation
