WORKERS
In South Need Trade
Unions, Says A. F. of L.
Council

Toronto, Ontaro.-"This is the
most opportune time for all organi-
cations to strengthen their unions in
the South" declared the executive
council in its recommendation that all
national and international affiliates
cooperate with the A. F. of L. in or
ganizing the Southern workers.
The convention unanimously adopt
ed the recommendation.
The council called attention to the
slow development of the South, which
has recently been intensified. This,
it was stated has been the roots for
trade unionism.
"Industrialization has progressed
more slowly in the South than in
most of the other sections of the
United States. Unions have been
generally formed in the printing and
building trades and some other crafts,
Such unions dealt largely with local
companies. With the industrializa
tion of the South has come large cor
porations, absentee capital, holding
companies, mill villages and related
problems. Progress in power trans
mission has been followed by wider
distribution of factories and has
opened up factory employment to
workers from agricultural and noun
tain districts. Thus the great major
ity of textile operatives in the South
are persons not only with no union
background but with no industrial ex-
perience or standards.
"Unless these industries are pre-
pared to give square deal 70 work
ers they are not only pillaging the re-
sources of the South, but are sowing
the seed of class conflict in most dan
gerous soil The Southern worker
will not meekly bear injustice when
experience teaches him standards of
Justice"

washington, ID. {. (lLNS) Citing
d great record of constructive work
and achievement, President William
Green, of the American Federation of
Labor, makes a vigorous and effective
reply to the editorial attacking the
federation which appeared in the
Scripps-Howard newspapers of Octo-
Der s. The reply has been sent to
the editors of the Scrpps- Howard
papers.
President Green begins his reply
by quoting the paragraph from the
editorial asserting that the A. F. of
L. is a somewhat pathetic organi-
zation." To this, he says:
"No one interested in the rights and
welfare of the workers would allege
that great international organiza-
ton, such as the American Fedora
tion of Labor, composed Of three mill
lion members who, with their families
and friends, number approximately
fifteen million people is somewhat
pathetic organization There is no
single dues-paying organization on
the American continent which equals
it."
The charge made in the editorial
that the American Federation of La
Dor had little to do with the labor
awakening in the South is termed
baseless and utterly false by Mr..
Green. He says;
Fortunately the American Fedora
ton of Labor is in possession of the
facts and the historic records of its
activities in the Southland. For more
than thirty years organizations affli-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor have been giving freely of men
ana money in carrying on organizing
campaigns and in financing strikes in
Southern communities. This service
was rendered in an honest effort to
help working men and women of the
South to raise their standards of life
and living AS the result of their eff
forts many thousands of workers have
been organized in the South State
Federations of Labor, representing
the organized workers, have been es-
tablished in every state. City central
bodies have been organized and are
functioning in every city of conse-
quence.
Awakening Due to A. f. of l..
THE facts are that the present So
called awakening in the South is but
the elimination of years of effort on
the part of organizations affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor to arouse the Southern workers to
a full realization of their political
civic and economic rights. 1t was the
systematic, patient, never-ceasing
campaign of the American Federation
of Labor which produced this result.
Communists were never heard of in
the South until recently when they at
tempted to capitalize on the aroused
situation created by the workers at
Gastonia as result of the strike at
Elizabethton, Tenn, financed and adj
ministered by the United Textile
Workers organization. The commu-
nists have no organization in the
South. You place yourself in ride
ulous position when you say the or
ganization of Southern workers has
been left to the communists"

A. F. of L. Head Show Writer
OF Attack Drew Conclusions
At Variance With Real Facts

American Federation of Labor has
failed to deal with problems caused
by modern economic progress, Mr..
Green says:
"The American Federation of La
bor is dealing with the problem of
chronological unemployment, discrim-
ration by corporations against 40
year-old workers, and it is using its
great moral and political influence in
behalf Of the enactment of old-age
pensions. The facts are that State
Federations of Labor in many states
are directly responsible for the en-
actment of old-age pension legislation
during the past ten years There is
no other force or organization which
is dealing so effectively with these
problems as is the American Fedora
ton of Labor
Doors Open to All Workers
"It is unreasonable to blame the
American Federation Of Labor, how
ever, for chronological unemployment
or for the social and economic prob
lens which have grown out of it. The
failure of the working people to be-
come organized in steel, automobile,
rubber, OIL coal and textiles, as re-
felred to in the editorial, cannot be
charged to the American Federation
of Labor. Failure must be placed
upon the workers themselves en-
ployed in these industries and upon
the powerful opposition of the en-
ployers who are hostile to labor or
ganizations and who resort to force
and intimidation to prevent their en-
ployes from joining trade unions. The
doors of trade union membership is
wide open to all workers. We appeal
to them to come in. Failure to come
rests with these workers, not with the
American Federation Of Labor"
Referring to the injunction, which
he denounced as one of the most pow
rful instrumentalities used by organ
lied wealth to injure and destroy or
ganized labor, Nj. Green cites ways
in which the injunction has been en-
ployed against labor and goes on to
say:
Notwithstanding this huge array
of opposition the Ameritan Fedora
tion of Labor has consistently fought
and is fighting for remedial injunction
legislation. In 1914 we drafted and
secured the passage Of the Clayton
amendment to the Sherman act. The
leaders and men bership Of organized
labor were toId by great constitution
al lawyers and by eminent members
of congress that the Clayton act
would afford the legls ative relief

was rendered practically valueless

American Federation of Labor cannot
be blamed for failure to do everything
possible to cura the injunction evil.

Concluding his letter, Mr.. Green
says:
THE charge that the American
Federation of Labor is failing miser-
ably in its stewardship is not in ac-
cord with fact. To the contrary, the
American Federation of Labor has
achieved many detectives. These
achievements are reflected in the high
cr standards of living, the increasing
leisure enjoyed by workers and in the
improved conditions of employment
which they enjoy The enactment of

Facts Refute Charge

''The best answer which can be
made to this unfounded charge is
found in the records and achievements
of the American Federation of Labor
and in the establishment and mainten-
ance of an organization composed of
more than three million militant trade
unionists with twelve million more
relatives and friends associated with
them"
