Title	Robins, Lucy 1920-09-14
Abstract	Telegram to Fred Zerbst, 9/14/1920. Asks that Zerbst give Eugene V. Debs the message that Samuel Gompers' and Meyer London's appearance before A. Mitchell Palmer would have brought tears to Eugene V. Debs's eyes. Assures Eugene V. Debs that they neither sought a compromise nor begged for the release of political prisoners with A. Mitchell Palmer but defended the principles upon which the prisoners were convicted. Remarks that present at the conference was Samuel Gompers, representatives from the building trades, the metal trades, the machinists, the railway unions, the federal employee's union, the United Hebrew Trades, the electrical workers, the garment workers, and the photo engravers. Informs Eugene V. Debs that it was the "most impressive demonstration of organized labor defending its own." Says that A. Mitchell Palmer agreed to take up the matter with the President and do his best. Writes that the committee's next job is to call upon the President.
