URGE WIDER USE
OF UNION LABELS
A. F. of |. Group Maps
Plans for Militant
Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August IL.
"A campaign for wider use ofs the
union label. move designed to per-
suade the public to buy American"
and thus develop the market for
American-made goods, was mapped
today by the directors of the union
label department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Matthew Woll. president, and I. M
Ornburn, secretary of the department,
said the program, calling for use OF
every legitimate means of broadcast
ing appeals for corporation, would
be presented 10 the departments con-
vention In San Francisco In October.
The convention will be held in con-
nection with the annual meeting there
Of the A. F. of L.
Plan Militant Drive.
Vol. who is also a vice president
Of the federation, said the directors
sought "a more intensive approach
to the problem on familiarizing the
public and the wage-earners with use
Of the union label than has as yet
been achieved" The program, he said,
would provide for a militant drive
by the label trades department to or
ganize the purchasing power of the
organized wage earners."
I'VE will seek, Woll said, to pro
mote the sale and use of commodities
that bear the union label on the
ground that this label is the only
effective guarantee that wage, hour
and other conditions above the mini
mum N. r. A. standards are being
lived up to by the manufacturers of
the products"
Vol said the minimum wage stand
ards provided for in codes of fair
competition applied only to unskilled
workers, but there is no guarantee
other than the union label that the
higher standards for the skilled and
semi-skilled workers are being lived
up to by the manufacturers.
Ornburn said it was hoped through
the campaign to show the public the
union label stands for collective bar
gaining, for higher wage and living
S6dludIuS anu tIleIc1OEe lHCTcdSeu CoH-

He said the task ahead was to in
crease the sale of American products,
so that purchasing power will be in
creased.
The Executive Council of the A. F.
of L.. which met here from Monday
to Friday, has adjourned its sessions
until Monday. The council expects
to meet most of next week. and will
consider further the status of or
ganized labor under a year of the N

By a s,ar Correspondent Of The Star.


CLARENDON. Va. August IL
John Locke Green. Republican candi-
date for Congress from the eighth
district, opened his campaign here
tonight with a bitter attack on what
he described as the ''unconstitution-
atty Of some portions of President
Roosevelt's recovery program
Speaking at q closed meeting of
more than q score of eighth district
Republican leaders. Green declared
that the question to be decided by the
voters IN the coming election is
whether or not government Of the
people. by the people and for the
people shall perish from the country" :"
Sees Swing to Left.
THE Government, as administered
under the present so-called Demo-
cratic administration" he said. has
swung far toward the doctrines ex-
pounded by Upton Sinclair and others
of his faith.
I'VE find that men with these senti-
mentS have about taken charge of
the Democratic party. To such an
extent is this true, in fact, that thou
sands Of Democrats no longer recog-
nize their party as the one they have
loved and followed-and this in spite
of the apparent popularity of the
President"
Attacks A. A. A. and NJ r.. A.
Criticizing the A A. A and the
N. r. A. as being calculated to cur
tail our freedom" Green declared 1t
is the duty Of every member Of Con-
gress to fight for return of that
body's constitutional prerogatives.
IF this is not done" he asserted,
"there is no need for a Congress"
The object of the meeting, which
was arranged by Grayson A. Ahalt,
one of the leaders Of the Arlington
County Republican organization. was
to map out detailed plans for the
campaign.
We're all set TO go now" Ahalt
announced after the session was over.
Our policies are pretty well lined UP,
we've arranged for an intensive pro-
gram of stllmping throughout the
district, and we're assured the sup
