UNION LABoR's PLAN

The executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor

migrant workers from the United
STATES for a definite period in the
interest of the Americanization' OF
The foreigners already here.
THE cry is coming from all
parts OF the country for the
Americanization Of the foreign
er." says the council.
According to the United States
census there are 100000 for
elgners In the United States, of
whom 1900, 900 can not speak
English and 100000 can not read
or write the English language.
mo better time could a cam
paign be launched to this end
than at present. and it's success
would be made more certain by
the complete restriction Of immi-
grafton.
Until the foreigners now In
this country are assimilated there
can be no success in Americaniz-
ing the citizens born in this
couatry.
"1lliteracy is growing at a rap
i'd rate.
THE alarming discovery made
during the war of the extent OF
inlteracy in the United States
shopld be a warning to those
who now urge the throwing open
of our ports to still greater immi-
grafton.
Congress will be called upon
to decide between the greed Of
unfair employers. and the self
preservation of our people"

II was intimated in debate that the
Chicago body had repudiated its in
dorsement, but the Chicago delegate
refuted the argument. Both the pre-
amble of the resolution and the argu-
ment Of Delegate Mcvey of Chicago,
in supporting it, denied the influence
of communists in shaping the policy
of the Chicago Federation.
Delegate Max Hayes opposed the
recommendation of the committee and
urged the adoption of the resolution
introduced by the Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers. Discussing the contents Of
the resolution, Delegate Hayes said:

II do not have to tell you that there

parties in favor of establishing a new

to expect from the political gentle
men whom they elect to power. And
so they are discussing among them
selves the establishing of an inde-

CHILD LABOR STAND
APPROVED BY DAVIS

THE devastating evil of child labor
must be eliminated from American in
dustry," declared Secretary of Labor
Davis in his message to the American
Federation Of Labor convention.
'The million children who toll must
be freed from the grasp of the task
maker.
American labor must no longer
compete with American childhood"
Davis also congratulated the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor on its firm
stand against new political beliefs
and nostrums," declaring that in Eu-
ropean countries which are under the
control of and approaching dictator
ships millions of men are walking
the streets seeking employment, and
those who are able to find work are
recompensed by a mere subsistence
wage.
1T is to the eternal credit Of the
American trade union movement that
the false notions of the Old World
have been unable to obtain a foot
hold in this country. Here the work
ingman Is in demand, Jobs are plenti-
full, and wages are at the peak Here,
too, labor has its full share in gov
ernment
More and more are we coming to
realization Of the mutuality Of In
terests between the men who man.
age industry and the men whose labor
makes industry possible.
"We must do all we can to foster
the principle of mediation and concili-
alton in industrial disputes, substitut-
ing the settlement Of the council table
for the settlement of force"

COMMUNISTS WILL
CONTINUE POLICY

American Communists will not
abandon their boring from within"
tactics in the trade union movement,
1t was declared Monday by William
F. Dunno, Butte editor, recently ex-
PEELED from the American Federation
OF Labor convention at Portland.
"Our program will be carried out
ed If the A. F. of l.. war on commun-
ism was going to mean a change in
tactics by the minority organization.
The only thing likely to cause a
possible change in the boring from
with" campaign would be an open
declaration Of anti-communism on the
part of the various internationals,
Dunno said Such a declaration and
a resulting wholesale attempt to oust
communists from the trade unions
does not seem to Dunno to be prac-
tical. Still the convention found it
practical to oust him and the inter-
national unions may find 1t just as
practical to oust others of HIS brand"
American labor has presented an al
most solid wall against the commun-
list theory and 1t is for that reason
that they have resorted to the Dor
ing from within" tactics hoping to
gain foothold In that manner. Since
progress in this direction has been
blocked, the communist leaders find
themselves in a desperate plight and
without a plan of action.
Dunno spoke in Seattle Sunday and
Monday evening and attracted good
sized audience, the majority no doubt
going out Of curiosity.

ANTl-UNloN EMPLOYERS

ell of the American Federation of
Labor In report on the immigra-
tion restriction question.
when traced to its hidden lair
It is found that the propaganda
emanated from the great corpor-
ations that pay the lowest wages
and enjoy the highest protection
of any industries in the country"
The council points out that the
present 3 per cent immigration
restriction law was mainly car
ried on during the last congress,
by such notorious anti-union en-
ployers' organizations as the Ma
tional Association Of Manufac-
tlrers and the Merchant Tailors'
Association.
Through the influence of the
American Federation Of Labor
the per cent restriction was
extended to June 80, 1924.
The employer advocates of un-
restricted importation Of cheap
alien workers to beat down the
living standards of. American
workers in the interests Of high
er profits for invested capital are
still busy.
It behoOves labor to be con-
stantly on its guard to nullify this
un-American propaganda.
