Representative Cannon hopes John Mitchell does not sympathize with the attacks by Samuel Gompers on Republican candidates for Congress. Cannon thanks William Loeb for including a copy of Mr. Sargent’s letter. Cannon feels he has gone out of his way to treat Gompers with courtesy. He has discussed the demands of Gompers related to the Pearre bill and finds them “unwise” for labor and is glad railroad leaders agree.
