During former drives, the labor or
CARNATIONS have been responsible for
O large share of the subscriptions,
both the different locals and Nom.
bers Of the organisations purchasing
Bonds. The drive among the union
men was not exclusively in charge
Of their leaders, however.
Realizing that the members of or
ganiEed labor are using every pos
sible effort to help further the war
aims of the nation, 1t was decided
that this drive could be much more
effectively handled II the men in
charge were members of the organiza-
lions they canvassed for Bond sales.
The plan as 1t has been worked out
by the labor leaders who organized
Il is expected to result in friendly
rivalry between the larger unions In
the total amount Of the Bond pur.
chasss they make. An accurate rec
ord will be kept OF both the number
and amount Of Bonds bought by in
dividuals belonging to the unions as
we'll as those purchased by the union
organization itself
