Two announcements OF direct interest

The Central Federated Union en-
Bodied its first action IN a resolution.

'hat White the cost Of living had risen

r.oyes had remained stationary for a

what WAS described as being Il manifest
'njn.stice to hundreds OF thousands o
workers.
The appeal Of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor 4or recognition of the
telephone girls, which was inaorsed
unanimously By the union, declared that
it was the duty CT every worker to aid
other workers seeking to improve their
condition by collective action and sDcci-
fed the Postofiice Department as being
one government department which had
attempted to prevent the women from
organizing. In the same connection the
appeal Of the federation declared that
'organized labor should take the op-
portunity to impress on the country the
fact that it IS opposed to anything re
scmbliag industrial kaiscrism."
The denial Of any right by gov
eminent agency is deve opment whose
first appearance is too often passed un-
noticed Trade unionists must be
vigilant lest their right to organize is
aacroached," the appeal concludes.
