During former drives, the labor Or
ganizations have been responsible fof
both the different locals and NON
bers Of the organizations purchasing
Bonds The drive among the union
men was not exclusively in charge
OF their leaders, however
Realizing that the members Of or
ganized labor are using every pos
sible effort to help further the wal
aims OF the nation, It was decided
that this drive could be much more
effectively handled II the men In
charge were members OF the organiza
tions they canvassed for Bond sales
The plan as 1t has been worked out
by the labor leaders who organized
II is expected to result in friendly
rivalry between the larger unions in
the total amount Of the Bond pur
chases they make. An accurate rec.
ord will bs kept Of both the number
and amount of Bonds bought by in.
dividuals belonging to the unions as
well a. those purchased by the union
organization itself.
