Title	Robins, Lucy 1920-04-24
Abstract	Letter to Eugene V. Debs on Central Labor Bodies Conference for the Amnesty for Political Prisoners letterhead, 4/24/1920. Says that she knows that she should have written to Eugene V. Debs sooner but in her work for general amnesty that she is very busy. Tells Eugene V. Debs that when she addressed the Cigarmakers Convention that she delivered Eugene V. Debs's message. Remarks that Samuel Gompers presided over the convention and assured the delegates after she finished speaking that he is doing everything in his power to get amnesty for all political prisoners. Writes that she has helped to organize the Citizens Amnesty Committee, composed of Genevieve Bennett Clark, Robert La Follette's wife, and Basil Manly. Informs Eugene V. Debs that since she has seen him she has almost daily to different labor unions and their federated bodies about amnesty with good results. Assures Eugene V. Debs that Washington is astir on the question of general amnesty. Says that David Karsner has "made a mess of things" with the statement he published in the NEW YORK CALL. Writes that Eugene V. Debs should feel proud to know that there are workers making suits, shirts, ties, and many other things just for him. Asks that Eugene V. Debs let her know when Eugene V. Debs will get to spend some time on Fred Zerbst's prison farm.
