Labor Heartily Indorses
Congressman W. L. Heusley.
W. L. JnhMM, Secretary of tna
Wat River Miners Union, received
the following reply from the under
signed, who Is President of the In
tornatlonsl Machinists Union and
labor lobbyist in CoUKreSS, to an in
.uiry to Mr. Hansley's labor ree-
ord:
Washington, D. C, Oct. 4, 1813,
Mr. J. L. Johnson, Flat Blver, Mo.
Dear Sir and Brother: four es
teemed favor of September Mttl re
ceived in Which you impure as to
tiie political record of Hon. Walter
I,. Hensley, I was out of the city
for it shnrt time, and the fact that I
have just gotten hack, accounts fur
this sliL'lit delay in my reply, which
I trust will not he a serious handi
cap In l urrying out tbepurposa for
which ymi desire Information.
In my work as n representative of
Organized Labor, whose duty it lias
been to further legislation favorable
to labor, it has been my practice to
seek out those Bepresentatives in
Congress whose sympathies were
with our cause, and who could lie
depended upon to urge our measures.
Congressman Walter L. Henslev
is a Representative whom i have
always found ready to render every
assistance at his command in furth
ering labor legislation Not only
the records of Congress bear nut
tills fan , hut much of t he real hard
preliminary work which is neces
sary in order to get a Labor mea
sure in shape for record action, has
beau dons by (Congressman Hens
ley, I have found him ready mi a
number of occasions to sacrifice any
persnnal credit which might have
come in him, in order to net favor
utile a. I mil on some measure, and
be lias done his part in a quiet un
ostentatious way.
A tew ot the Labor measures re
guiding which be is on record, and
ine siiiuuiary in wnicu lias heeii
j compiled by the A. F. of L. are as
follows :
i. on May IB, 1011, when the state-
hood bill for the admissi f Ari
zona and New Mexico was before
the House, In which the initiative,
referendum and recall was Included
for the State of Arizona, Ml . Hens
ley Is recorded as voting In favor of
It.
'- On Dee. 14, 1011, w i the
Sight hour hill covering contractors
dolm.' work for the l ulled States
Government was before the House,
Mr. Hensley contributed inaterialli
to its passage,
S, On March I. 111).', when the Con
vict Labor hill passed the House,
Mr. Hensley had charge of the hill
upon the floor and distinguished
himself by the ability with which he
haadli d this ditiicuK proposition.
4 On March M, IWU, when the
Phosphorous Mutch bill was up for
laktoratlon, anil which the A ri-
can Federation of Labor had strong
ly urged, Mr. Hensley was recorded
as voting "aye" or in favor of this
meritorious measure.
A. On April ', P.IIJ, the Children's
Bureau hill, advocated by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, was up
for consideration. Mr. Henslev was
Tiled as voting "aye" or in fa
Ivor at thla mush n I legislation
8, On May 13, 1912, the hill for the
Popular Flection of I'nited States
Senators was up for final passage,
and after lengthty debate, In which
Mr. Kenaley participated, this mea
sure, which the organised workers
have advocated for a quarter ol a
century and over, passed (he House,
Ml Hensley going on record as vot
ing "aye."
7. On May 14, 1912, a special rule
fni tin- oonslderatl if the Clayton
Injunction I. imitation Hill, was re
ported by the Rules Committee, lii
both instance- Mr Henslev was re
corded as voting "aye," and also
I contributed III other ways towards
I securing other Mdes in behall of
j this measure,
I s OB July H, 1912, a special
I rule was reporti'd by the Utiles Coin-
jtnlttWsl for the consideration ot the
K'"templ bill, ami on July lithe
Itniitrnipt Still came before the
House because of the passage Of the
speclal rule. On both dates Mi.
Hensley is recorded lis voting "uye,"
in ill favor of tin- rule and also in
favor of the bill. ,
it will thus be
tin se measures In
seen that on all
which Labor has
interested Mr
been particularly
Hensley has In
present on

ol the measures. It may also be
said that on other lolls that did not

When buying an article of food you are

Some of the low grade baking powders are

It is well when buying to examine

sonal knowledge, gone to the Senate

He is the ranking member of the
House Committee on Labor, Hon.
Win. M. Wilson of pennsy Ivanla be
ing the chairman. This oomtnlttee
has made by far the best record for
reporting out measures of Interest
to Labor In tin' history of the ex
istence of the Committee. Mr,
Hensley has always been at baud at
Jts meetings when required, taking
part in its deliberations and using
his etforts to secure action.
I have learned tn respect Mr.
Heusley lor his earnestness, ability
and Integrity, and In view of the
small group of men in Congress who
are looking out for our interests, It
would be a decided misfortune If he
were not returned to the next Con
gress. The fact, as you have stated, that
the corporate interests of his dis
trict are making a determined tight
against him, is a reason why those
whom he has worked for should ren
der him assistance.
May I hers venture a suggest
t your Lodge
i. H ave a committee appointed to
draw up a suitable resolution of
commendation for the work done
Mr. Henslev during this session
by
of
Congress, and in It endorse his re
election, 2. Have the resolution printed in
Un local newepapers, and endeavor
to have other Labor Organisations,
Including your Central Bodies to do
same thing.
Trusting that this supplies at least
some of the information you desire,
ami hoping that the Honorable Wal
ler L. Hensley will not have cause
to regret that he supported Labor's
interests ami worked for the general
welfare. I remain with best wishes,
