I am in receipt of your letter asking me what the attitude of Ole Hanson was to- wards labor legislation during the Legislative Session of 1909 of which he was a member. It gives me pleasure to state that Mr. Hanson was a member of the Labor Committee of the House during that Session and WENT DOWN THE LINE UPON EVERY MEASURE IN WHICH OR WAS INTERESTED. We had a particularly good Labor Committee that Session. J. E. Campbell, now a candidate for Co from the Second Congres- sional District, was chairman of the Labor and Labor Statistics Committee ing the Session and both Hanson and Campbell were active throughout the Legislature in of labor legislation. Trusting this information will be of value to you, I remain, Sincerely yours, E. P. MARSH, Pres. Wash.

My dear Hanson: Your letter in relation to the campaign against you in the City of Seattle, and calling to my attention statements to the effect that you were unfair to organized labor in this City during the period of a so-called Heinze Campaign, some fifteen years ago, received.

MOVEMENT IN SECUR.- ING CONDITIONS BENEFICIAL TO THE MASS OF THE WORKERS. At no time do the records of the labor movement show that you were in any man- ner unfair to the movement in this community. Believing that this is the attitude that should be expressed in all fairness and justice to permit of your friends knowing the real truth of the matter and with kindest greetings, I am, Yours very truly, MONTANA FEDERATION OF LABOR, Pres., M.
