LABOR UNIONS FAVOR LEGION
Kern County, California, Labor Council
Recommends That All Members
Join World War Body.

While n number of isolated cases of
local unions taking action against the
American Legion have been given con-
siderable publicity in the press, practi-
cally nothing has been said with regard
to the hundreds of locals through the
country that have indorsed the work of
the Legion. A story along this line was
recently carried in the Union Labor
journal of Bakersfield. Cal, as follows:
There has been disposition upon
the part of some persons who are none
too desirous of seeing friendly spirit
developed between organized labor and
the American Legion who have gone
out of their way to make representa-
tions to the effect that union labor Is
antagonistic to the Legion. This sort
of Misrepresentation has been indulged
In to the extent that false reports have
been disseminated to the effect that Ia
Dor organizations have attacked the
American Legion in resolutions OF con-
dempatiOn. In no instance hnve we
known of any such attitude upon the
part of a labor organization, nor do we
credit as truthful any report to that
effect. On the contrary organized Ia
bor recognizes the fact that the great
mass of the membership of the Ameri-
can Legion are working men to whom
great debt is owed by the nation. 1t
recognizes the further fact that the
interests of the members of the Legion
are Identical with those of the rest of
American working men.
The national executive committee as
well as the state executive committee
of the American Legion has repudiated
the attempts of those who have sought
to make the Legion an organization an
tagonistic to labor, thing which could
never be because of the fact that from
the ranks of labor came the great ma
jority of the young men VINO made up
the army of democracy.
Union labor has not sought to make
of the Legion partisan of unionism
nor can 1t take kindly to the efforts of
those designing ones who try to create
enmity between the American Legion
and organized labor.
During the present week statement
has gone from Bakersfield to certain
metropolitan paper to the effect that
the Kern County Labor Council had In
n resolution denounced the American
Legion. The report is so maliciously
grOundless that 1t could have been In
spired only by desire to influence the
Legion and labor organizations else
where into an attitude of antngonism.
The Sacramento Labor Council has
this week passed n ringing resolution
of Endorsement of the American Legion
and the Kern County Labor Council
has taken occasion to deny the canard
alleging enmity by stating in unequivo-
cal terms its friendship for the Ameri-
can Legion, its membership and its
purposes, in resolution OF indorse-
ment.
We wonder If the author Of the libel
GUS report that the Labor Council had
condemned the American Legion knows
what proportion of the men from this
community who served in the military
and naval forces was or now are mem
bers of organized labor. If he had he
would certainly have picked out COM

ingmen who carry union cards and an
honorable discharge from the army
was not so numerous as in Kern
county. 1t would surprise him to know
that at least half of the men who went
into the service from Kern county are
or have been members of labor union.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, The American Legion Is
an organization composed of men and
women who gave their services to the
government of the United States or
one of the allied powers during the
great war; and
"Whereas. The American Legion is
organized for the purpose of promoting
the interests of those who gave their
services to the country in that great
crisis; and
"Whereas, The interests of the great
majority of the members of the Amer
lean Legion are known to be identical
with the aims and aspirations of or
gnnized labor; therefore be 1t
"Resolved, BY the Kern County La
Dor Council. in regular session assem-
bled. this 23rd day of December. 1919,
that we indorse the American Legion
and recommend that all members of
local unions affiliated with this body
eligible for membership in the Ameri-
can Legion take their rightful places
us members of that organization"
