MINERS HEAD OUTLINES
IMPORT OF LABOR DAY
John l.. Lewis Declares Labor
Day This Year Has Greater
Importance Than Ever
BY John l.. Lewis,
President Of the United Mine Work
ers of America.

written for the United Prcss)
Labor Day this year undoubtedly
has deeper Significance for tho mem.
bers of the organized labor movement
mcnt than In any other year sincc
Labor Day was instituted. We are
all painfully aware Of the terrible
business and industrial depression
through which not only the people OF
America but of the world are now
passing.
We know that labor has carried
more than its just share OF the burden
Of the depression thut followed the
closing Of the most gigantic and de-
structvc war In tho history OF the
world. We know that labor has paid
and Is still paying more than Its Just
share Of the price mt which the safety
Of civilization has purchased In that
war. Not only are we fully cogniznnt
of all Of these outstanding facts, but
we point with unbounded pride to the
splendid record of labor in these try
ing years. Without the benefit of II
compact body Of organized workers in
America. fully determined to do their
patriotic duty, the war could not havc
been won, for It was only through the
combined, steady, sustained efforts
Of labor that fuel, food and war sup
plies were produced 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 make
him better and stronger union man
than he ever was before. Let each
man and woman in tho labor move
ment recall to mind the fundamental
principles upon which the labor union
movement is founded, for those prin-
cipcs are as sound as the rocks Of
the mountains and as fundamental
as the air we breathe. The labor
movement stands for all that Is good
and just and fair in industry. Be-
cause It stands for these supreme
ideals It should and must have the
heartiest support Of every man and
woman who works. Fortunate, in
deed, are we, the millions who are
Of labor unions, that we are
able on this Labor Day to boast our
membership. On this, Labor's holi-
day, we show to the world that the
trade union movement retains its vi
rility, its strength, it's aspirations and
its sense Of eternal justice.
