Hon. J. M, Gudger, Jr. Endorsed
by The Trades Unionist.
The following reference is made
to Congressman Gudger in the of
ficial organ Center Labor Union of
Washington,.,May the 4tb, 1912.
vHon. James M. Gudger, Jr.,
representing the Tenth District of
North Carolina:
It is very important that a great
commonwealth like North Carolina
shall be represented in Congress by
men of ability and influence; and it
is particularly so to the interest of
labor that such mcn'shall be friend
ly to labor. Congressman Gudger
represents the Tenthdistrict, and
he has always manifested a most
friendly interest in the labor cause,
and is entitled to the support and
co-operation of all who have the
best interest of labor at heart
In official and political circles
Mr. Gudger is prominent and pop
ular. He is recognized as' a loyal
friend of organized Tabor. His
record in Congress shows that ho
has been aconsistant supporter of
all measures designed for the pro
motion of the labor interests.
At this critical time in tho histo-
i
ry of orgamzea laoor, wnen so
many measures'afTecting its future
are at issue, it is important to have
experienced men whoso friendship
for organized labor has been tested
in Congress.
