Labor backs questionnaire to probe candidates
The American Federation of Labor led by president William Green sent a national Senate and House questionnaire asking candidates to declare their positions on key issues including the NRA Section 7A, unemployment insurance, and public works as a relief measure. The piece notes previous gaffe prone responses and argues for direct candor to avoid a rubber stamp Congress. It cites past district races and media commentary while touching on strikes, Nazi pressure, and U S League of Nations discussions.
