As Representative Littlefield understands it, the Republican platform declares against legislation requiring notice and hearing before a temporary restraining order or injunction will be issued. However, William H. Taft’s letter of January 6, 1908, to Llewelyn Lewis, President of the Ohio Federation of Labor, is a declaration in favor of such legislation. Littlefield inquires which of these positions Taft stands by.
