June 3, 1944 Dr. Carlos Castañeda, [To] Assistant to the Chairman President's Committee on Fair Employment Practice, C/0 Adams Hotel Phoenix, Arizona. Dear Friend: Well on June 1st we sent the following message to Congressman Kilday, Senator Connally and to the twenty members of the Committee on Labor whose names you furnished us: "THREE MILLION LOYAL LATIN AMERICANS IN SOUTHWEST WILL APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORTING DAWSON-SCANLON-LAFOLLETTE BILL. FOR OUR NATION'S SAKE ECONOMIC DISCRIMINATION MUST BE ELIMINATED FOREVER. COMMITTEE OF ONE HUNDRED. [FROM] LEAGUE OF LOYAL AMERICANS Alonso S. Perales Director General" Altogether we sent 22 "night letters" like the above. They should have received on June 2nd. Mr. M.C. Gonzales assured me that he was going to send similar telegrams in the name of the LULAC organization. Mr. Moises Maldonado, of the AFOL Union of Hod Carriers and Common Laborers, said they too would send telegrams immediately. This morning I read in LA PRENSA the wonderful statement of facts made by Mr. Ernesto Galarza, Chief of the Labor Division of the Pan American Union. He appeared before the Committee. Fine work, indeed. This makes me feel much better, as it shows that after all my presence was not absolutely necessary, since Mr. Galarza was going to speak on the same subject. He did it well, too. Mr. Gonzales and I agreed that he would telegraph Congressman Fernandez to appear before the Committee and speak in the name of the three million Latin Americans in the U.S. I believe Gonzales sent him said telegram. This concludes my report on what we have done at this end. Please keep me posted on developments. By the way in addition to [illlegible - writing] Congressman Kilday and Senator Connally I wrote them letters in the name of our Committee and our League. With kindest regards and best wishes, I remain, as ever, Sincerely, your friend, Cartas Castaneda, Carlos Eduardo Committee of One Hundred Estados Unidos - Legisladores L.U.L.A.C.
