[Letter from Representative Sam Russell to T. N. Carswell - February 27, 1943]

A letter written to Mr. T. N. Carswell, Abilene, Texas, from Sam Russell, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., dated February 27, 1943. Russell acknowledges his receipt of the telegram from Carswell sent from Austin on February 26th, and notes with interest what Carswell has to say of a national do-nothing policy in regard to strikes, slow-downs, and absenteeism. Russell defends his record and advises that he looks forward to something being done in regard to this matter, "but one man cannot storm the Congress, and there are 435 Congressmen. It takes 218 of this number to pass a measure in the House". He reminds Carswell of the Smith Anti-Strike Bill that passed the House, but through the efforts of the Administration, was buried in the Labor Committee of the Senate. "I trust that this letter will make my position clear to you, and assure you that I shall always be on the firing line to save America as well from within, as from abroad."
