A definite call to labor to support
social service work through local Com
mun1ty Chest and welfare campaigns
was issued in Labor day statement by
President Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in special commune
cation to Chairman Baker of the 1888
mobilization. He stressed also the debt
Of labor to social welfare agencies in
preserving the man power of the Nation
during the last four years.
The four years of depression, Green
pointed out, have taken their toll of
the health of workers, their savings
and their morale
There are still thousands upon thou
sands of our fellow citizens who are
fioundering and need our help" he
added. This Fall and Winter .
Community Chests and other welfare
agencies will call for our assistance.
These agencies are in reality partners
of Uncle Sam in the rebuilding of the
citizenry of our country. To them we
owe a great debt for their magnificent
aid in helping to preserve the man
power of our Nation during the past
four years.
I'VE can register our gratitude for
their work and our fighting determine
ton to overrise the depression in no
better way than by generously con-
| tributing funds to make possible the
continuance of their vital and much
needed human services"
