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

While 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 Endorsed the work of
the Legion. A story along this line was
recently carried i'm the Union Labor
Journal of bakersfield. Cat, rs follows
There has been disposition upon
the part Of some persons who are none
too DESTROYS of seeing friendly spirit
developed between organized labor and
the American Legion who have gone
out of their way 10 make representa-
tons to the effect that union labor Is
antagOnistic To the Legion. This sort
of misrepresentation has been INDUCED
in 10 the extent that false reports have
been disseminated 10 the effect that la
bor organizations have attacked the
American Legion in resolutions of con
demnation In no instance have we
known of any such attitude upon the
part of labor organization. nor do we
credit as truthful any report 10 that
effect ON the contrary organized Ia
hOr recognizes the fact that the great
mass of the membership OF the Ameri-
can Legion are working men 10 whom
great debt is owed by the nation. IL
recognizes the further fact thar the
interests Of the members OF the Legion
are Identical with those or the rest or
American working men.
The national executive committee as
we'll as the state executive committee
of the American Legion has repudaied
the ATTEMPTS of those who have sought
to make the Legion an organization an
tagonistic to labor, p thing which could
never be because of the fact that from
the ranks OF labor came the great ma
iority of the young men who made up
the army Of democracy.
Union labor has not sought To make
of the Legion a partisan Of unionism
nor can it take kindly to the efforts or
those designing ones who try 10 create
enmity between the American Legion
and organized labor.
