organization of human beings in ex-
istence, but it can be held by both
organizations, in my judgment that
there are a sufficient number of fight
ing men and women in both organiza-
tions to overcome the traducers from
within or from without and to hold
aloft the standards of justice.
1T is my judgment not only as the
president of an international trades
union, but as a member Of the Amer
lean Legion from the date of it's birth
in France, that there is enough good,
in the American Federation Of Labor
and the American Legion to attract
and to hold in membership every "citi-
zen Of our Republic eligible to be-
come a. member of these two great
organizations.
1T is to be expected that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor should be
the subject OF a greater variety Of
attacks and criticisms than that to
which the American Legion may be
subjected. The reason for this is OBJ
vious since the American Federation
of Labor. in addition to- being a legis-
lative organization. is made up solely
of International Unions that are fun
damentally economic in character and
by the very nature Of things the dis
cussion of moneys, of ths diYision Of
