Thomas-Louis A. Valiquet, Grand President of the Tug Firemen & Linemen Protective Association of the Great Lakes, tells Representative Tawney of Minnesota about his recent trip, in which he visited all the ports on the Great Lakes and met with a number of organizations relating to the lakes and shipping. He believes the people associated with his industry will support the reelection of President Roosevelt, but mentions an issue regarding a new sort of dredge, which could threaten the jobs of a large portion of his organization. Valiquet asks Tawney to forward this letter to Roosevelt.
