that II was as essential TO stimulate
thrift and saving n time OF peace az
in time OF war.
The adoption Of the resolution BY
the central body 4 organised trade
unIonism followed similar action BY
several State Fede=ations Of Labor.
The text Of the resolution. known a.
No. III. Is a. follows:
Whereas. The war 20 happily
ended has required ou- people 70 de-
velop thrift and saving which to
some degree has stimulated freedem
OF action and Independence on the
part Of some wage earners; and
whereas. II is essential TO stfm.

whereas, The Inauguration Of the
national system Of war Savings and
Thrift Stamps has afforded to some
OF small earnings a safe. sound and
guaranteed method Of Government In
veetment Of their hard earned saw
ings. therefore. be It
Resolved. That this convention DO
approve OF the continuation and exten-
sion OF the war Savings and Thrift
Stamps Institution, or the substitution
OF a National Savings Institution akin
in character and method, which shall
prove helpful TO safeguard the earn
ings Of the toiling masses Of our
country"
Thomas Il. Burke, general serstary-
treasurer Of the United States Ass0ci-
alton OF Plumbers and Steam Filters
of the United States and Canada, has
promised his assistance in the work
OF forming War Savings Societies,
and has invoked aid from other union
officials.
Mr.. Burke In assuring the Govern
ment OF his cooperation. said In part:
The labor organizations and fra
ternal societies are very hns medium
through which to educate tae peo-
pie OF the necessity and usefulness Of
supporting our government and at tks
same time helping themselves.
"One OF the unique features ex-
planned to me was that II is the in
tsntion OF our government 70 make
War Savings stamps and Thrift
stamps a permanent institution. Such
action would be very progressive
one, and | believe would be heartily
acclaimed by all our citisens, especially
the workers, because Ii would be Ia
keeping with the great cooperative and
democratic spirit that now prevails
throughout our great country,
From a psychological standpoint.
Ii would be considered By the mass Of
the people, especially the wage earn
ers, a great opportunity to partici-
pate in such great FUNCTION Of
government. II would bring the peo-
ple and the Government closer to-
gether, which Is greatly neeied In
these unrestful times"
