A Statement by the Young Workers.
League of America.
THE daily press reports that Will
= liam Green, who, together with
seven members of the executive coun-
ell of the American Federation of La
Dor, is the personal guest of Major
General Charles P. Summerall at the
Citizens Military Training Camp at
Plattsburgh, New York, has declared
himself in favor of the C. M. T. C.
81 can truthfully say there has
been a wrong impression in some
quarters as to the purposes and OBJ
jectives Of the military training
camp. / think the American Fedora
sion of Labor, thru its organization
and its officers, can do much to ac-
quaint the public mind with what is
being done here toward the develop
ment of young men mentally, NOR
ally and physically"
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, follow
ing on the heels Of the refusal of his
executive council to help the workers
and peasants of Mexico in their strug-
gle against reaction and American i'm
perialism, places his stamp of approval
on the militarist institution of Ameri-
can imperialism as did the FL Paso
convention of the A. F. of L. under the
domination of Sam Gompers.
For what purpose are tens Of thou
sands of young workers and students
being trained annually in the C. M.
T. c.? Are they, as Green piously
says, being developed mentally, NOR
ally and physically" Nonsense!
Part of Naturalization.
THE Citizens Military Training
4 Camps are part of the huge mill
tarization program of American i'm
perialism. And Green follows the lead
of the imperialists in endorsing this
program.
The Citizens Military Training
Camps are backed by such VIGOROUSLY
reactionary anti-labor individuals and
institutions as the House of Morgan,
General Electric. Western Electric, the
Rockefeller interests thru the Inter
national Harvester Company, Crane &
Co., the Bethlehem Steel Corporation,
Pullman and scores of others. many of
whom send young workers from their
plants for vacations" at the camps
Many of these reactionary imperialist
bankers and big business men are on
the committee of the Military Training
lamps Association, upon which no out
Standing labor man is represented. Is
Green, then, serving the interests of
the workers of America by endorsing
the c. M. T. c.?
Blessing ComeslnopportuneIy.
A T a time when the government is
being conducted more and more
openly by direct representatives of the
capitalists of this country, when mem
bers of the House of Morgan and other
Wall Street interests are brazenly ap-
pointed to leading positions in the war
department and in the important posts
Of the aviation division, whose inter
ssts are being served when Green
gives his blessing to a militarist insti-
tuition backed by the government and
conducted by the war department?
