KSo\u00ab opportunity\npresented itself to me to do anything until at the last meeting' of\nthef,Trades Congress at1 Winnipeg,\nwhen\"' I spoke to Mr. Leheney\nabout the matter. He made , the\nmemorandum, which I Signed and\nI also signed the second memorandum that you- quote in your\nletter, part of which may- be^in\nmy-hand writing, but I have qtiite\nforgotten as'tb that. \u2022\n, The subject matter, was not discussed before the Congress at all,\nbut, so far. as I know, simply between Leheney and me, and it was\nleft to Mr. Leheney to take what\ncourse' he deemed, best to have\nthe charge, cleared up. You will\nno- doubt be'able to receive at\nfirst hand* a statement of \u25a0 what\nhas transpired in the west \u25a0 * with\n-respect- to\u2014the^mratter since the\"\nCoi-.gress adjourned.
