We know that labor has paid and Is
still paying more than its just share
OF the price at which the safety Of civ.
ilization was purchased in that war.
Not only are we fully cognizant of
these outstanding facts, but we point

record of labor in these trying years.
Without the benefit OF a compact body

the war could not have been won, for
1t was only through the combined.
steady, sustained efforts Of labor that
fuel, food and war supplies were pro.
duced with which to wage and win the
combat.
Let us, therefore, on this Labor
Day turn our thoughts to what 1t
all means to America and the world.
Let each working man tell himself
the story Of labor's record. 1t will
union man than he ever was hefore.
Let each man and woman in the
labor movement recall to mind the
fundamental principles upon which
the labor union movement is found
ed, for those principles are as sound
as the rocks Of the mountains.
THE labor movement stands for
all that is good and just and fair in
industry. Because 1t stands for
these supreme ideals 1t should and
must have the heartiest support Of
every man and woman who works
Fortunate. indeed. are we, the mil.
lions who are members Of iahor
unions, that we are able on this
Labor Day to boast our membership.
On this, labor's holiday. we show
to the world that the trade union
movement retains its virility, its
strengtha its aspirations and it's
sense Of eternal Justice"
