BY UNITED PRESS

Labor leaders and political
friends of labor signallized a new
deal Labor Day yesterday with
speeches calling upon workers to
consolidate their gains and hold
their ranks.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
called upon his followers to give
full support to the Roosevelt re-
covery program, and said organ
lied workers would demand still
shorter hours than NRA codes
provide in order to absorb back
into industry the unemployed.
Speaking at Akron, o., stronghold
of the open shop rubber industry,
he said the hour reductions so far
provided were fundamentally in
sufficient to provide work for all
who still remained without jobs.
There have been disappoint-
ments. Green said, but as clear
gains he recalled that 100000
men had gone back to work. IL
large industries put under codes,
child labor eliminated, and bust
ness revival set on its way.
Frank Morrison, secretary OF
the A. F. of L., urged workers at
Pittsburgh-center Of the as yet
uncodified coal industry-to stand
firm to hold in the future the
shorter hours and minimum wages
provided in codes. Wage workers,
he said. must organize their ranks
now to maintain their gains when

expire. ro'lh ~. .ia'TeI .na.
