Made an old man youthful, stronger.
Though some thought he was half

HOW LABOR OFFICERS SERVE
THE MOVEMENT

No one engaged in American Fed
Grafton of Labor activities leads life
of either leisure or quiet.
Some of the organizers are almost
constantly on the road.
The secretary of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor keeps in constant
touch with all organizers, handles an
enormous volume of correspondence,
finds time to make an occasional ad-
dress outside of Washington under
the direction Of the president. He
also arranges for conventions and for
quarterly meetings of the executive
council.
In the year just passed the presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor engaged in GOA conferences in
almost all sections of the country,
Travelled $4,000 miles involving 80
railroad trips, gave 146 newspaper
interviews and statements, delivered
&C public addresses, of which 13 were
before internationl unions conven-
tions, wrote 1928 Individual letters,
issued 125,591 circular letters, attend
ed and argued before four congress
sional hearings and hearings before
committees of four state legislatures.
In addition hea transacted the routine
business of the presidents office and
directed the work of staff of as
sistants.
Special standing committees are
constantly at work on problems re.
ferred by conventions. A few of
news and editorial matters under his
direction is kept going to the more
than 300 trade union publications and
Legislation is constantly under
scrutiny.
The A. F. of L. Legislative Com
mittee, under his craftsmanship, at
tends practically all congressional
hearings and studies every measure
introduced. This legislative commit
tee also is the nucleus of Labor's
Joint Legislature Committee, of
which he is chairman, and includes
all labor legislative representatives
in Washington, about so in number.
This committee meets monthly for
conference.
The American Federation of Labor
official and office personnel covers a
field of all-embracing scope on a
smaller revenue than any other
American organization with which it
maybe even remotely compared.

MANY ARE NEGLECTFUL

People have strange ideas of news
papers. Some of them seem to think
that newspapers do not need any
money at any time. That they can
carry subscription accounts indefinite
ly and still continue printing a paper.
If these people would come to the
Leader office and see the bills that
must be met every Saturday night
and every month they would recognize
the fact that newspapers are busi-
ness just like any other business and
need the cash.
