Finer Things Of Life Must
Supersede Dollar, He Says
A. F. of L. Head Emphasizes World Peace, Wishing Pre-
mier Ramsay Macdonald Success on His Mission and
Declaring Labor Potent Force for Friendly Relations
Between Nations.

Toronto (ILNS)-With pomp and
circumstances the forty-ninth annual
convention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor got under way, monu-
mental issues looming ahead, great
promise of achievement in the air
Six main pledges to the world
marked President William Green's
opening address:
l. Men and women must have the
opportunity to work as long as they
live, and machines must not throw
them out-no more deadline at 40.
2. Unemployment as the result of
invention must cease.
8. We must have relief from the in
junction.
A. We must have old age security.
5. The material must give way to
the finer things of life-the "great
intangibles" must have their day.
6. We must have world peace.
eve have in the United States, .
Mr.. Green said, injunction relief leg
islation which must be enacted for the
protection of the masses of those who
work. We have social relief legisla-
ton to care for the aged and the sick.
We are determined 20 press for old
age legislation. These are among the
problems we have had constantly
with us. We propose to grapple with
them and press for more just So
luton.
Problems of Modern Life
"But associated with them are
problems growing out of our modern
industrial life. We are astounded as
we contemplate the record. When we
met in this city twenty years ago
there was no radium, none of the other
great modern inventions. Mechanical
changes that startle US by their mag
nitude were then undreamed of.
"But there is no movement among
men so flexible in its policies as the
American Federation of Labor Be-
cause of that we are able to adjust
ourselves to rapid changes.
"We have been taught to believe
corporations have no souls, but it was
left to these later days to emphasize
the fact. They are discriminating
against men Of forty who are then
at their best. 1t is inhuman and in
defensible from any point of view.
The American Federation of Labor
will continue it's offensive until the
public is aroused. Men and women
must be given the opportunity to
work as long as they live and we will
contest uncompromisingly for that
right.
Machine-Ma Unemployment
"Then we have chronological unem-
ployment, growing out of our ma
chine age. Men are being driven out
because mcahines take their places.
We do not oppose invention. We be-
lieve that mechanical invention can
be made blessing. We demand that
while the evolution is going on that
agencies be set up to tide men over
the transition-to take care of the
men and women while this change is
going on. We protest against the pol
icy pursued whereby men are dis
placed and cast aside"

CENTRAL ALMSHOUSE
FAVORED IN VIRGINIA

Winchester, Va.-Consolidation of
almshouses in seven northern Vir-

completed this fall and officials in
the seven counties will be asked to
consider consolidation.
