This speaks for itself: The last sentence of your letter is as follows: "I may say. however. that you may expect to hear from us a little later on. but In another and perhaps more effective way." You make a threat! You mean to blackmail. of course! And you talk about keeping out the undesirable immigrant! I wish to state to you that you can not stampede nor bully me into doing something which I believe to be wrong. unjust. and unAmerican. and In spite of your threats I will act and do what I think is for the best interests of my country. In my five years of service in the House of Representatives I have endeavored to uphold organized labor and work for its best Interests.
