support of the Vinson Navy bill
and like measures:
present international condi-
tions convince me that we should
be prepared >. self preservation
is the first law of nature and for
that reason we believe in pre-
paredness."
This, then, is the position of the
A. F. of L. official leadership. But
can it be the position of the rank
and file of the A. F. of L.? Does
it correspond with the interests and
needs of the A. F. of L. rank and
file?
To ask the question is to answer
it.
What did the A. F. of L. members
gain in the war? Tens of thousands
of them we're sent across, many of
them to die. Thousands of A. F.
of L. members who went across re-
turned to find their officials fat and
patriotic in Washington jobs, Sam
Gompers setting the pace by be-
coming member of the War
Labor Board, along with the mil
lionaire Bernard Baruch. The post
war period found hundreds of
thousands unemployed, millions
with wages cut as the unemployers
unleashed vicious offensive
against the labor movement. Many
union members who fought for
their country and demanded their
back pay, their bonus, received a
taste of democracy in Anacosta Flats
in 1882, but in a fashion they did
not as yet learn to recognize-at
the end of Federal bayonets.
These union members discov-
cred in the seventeen years since
the war that the democracy fer
which the A. F. of L. Executive
Council SO easily pledged the lives
of the A. F. of L. membership was
a capitalist democracy, one that
brought them wage cuts, union
smashing and unemployment,
while it brought untold wealth to
tiny handful of millionaires.

The Position Of the A. f. of L. Leadership on Var

An examination of the most
recent statements of the heads of
the Federation and their declara-
tions and actions in the last war
will prove this to the very hilt.
Pro-War Then-And Now
Recently william Green, presi-
dent of the A. F. of L., delivered
himself of an opinion on the
question of war and the attitude
Of the official American labor
movement. Answering the query
of the Federal Council Of Churches
on what the position of labor was
On new war, he declared that the
position of the A F. of L. HER
archy was in 1894 the same as it
was in 1917 and referred them to
the statement issued by the Elk
ecutive Council of the A. F. CT l..
on March II, 1917, in document
entitled American Labor'S Posi-
ton in Peace or in War" Fur
thermcre, says the August 18th
issue of the Christian Century"
Green went out of his way to
read the Federal Council of
Churches a lecture on the present
need for military preparedness!"
The 1917 document to which Mr..
Green hearkens back should be ex-
amined carefully, especially by
these unioniSts, who, through no
fault of their own, must suffer Mr..
Green-for the present, at least,
as leader of their organization.
This document was drawn up at
a meeting of the leaders of the af-
f1liated unions and the railroad
brotherhooos on March IL, 1917,
only about three weeks before the
declaration Of war. The report-un-
doubleday drafted in collaboration
with members Of the Wilson adj
ministration, was submitted by The
Executive Council, which had met
three days prior.
Classic A. F. of L. Policy
In phrases which we can now
recognize as the classic expression
Of the class collaboration policy Of
the A. F. of L. leadership, the re-
port says:

SCORES OF CITIES ELECT DELEGATES TO ANTLWAR CONGRESS

Backs Move
Against W ar
State Convention En-
dorses Anti-War Con-
gress; Sends Greetings

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept I'll
The Arkansas State Federation Of
Labor has gone on record as en-
dorsing the Second United States
Congress Against War and Fascism
to be held in Chicago. The resolu-
ton is attested by H. M. Thackrey,
Secretary Treasurer of the Fedora
ton, after having been submitted
to the convention and adopted. The
resolution reads:
Whereas, the United States and
the world are confronted by the
possibility Of another war as in
dictated by the armament race,
Whereas, the United States and
the world are confronted with the
likelihood of spreading Fascism, as
indicated by Fascist developments
both in Europe and America,
Whereas, banking interests, in
dustrialists and war prof1teers reap
the benefits growing from war and
fascism,
Whereas, workers and farmers
pay the full cost of the war both in
life and economic returns,
Therefore be it resolved, that the
Arkansas State Federation of Labor
in convention assembled endorse
and send greetings to the Second
United States Congress Against
War and Fascism conyening in
Chicago, September % to 30, to
mobilize public opinion against war
and Fascism."

A. F. of L. members who were
stampeded into the last World War
on the basis Of the. patriotic har-
argues of the official leadership
may well reflect today on the evil
dence Of the du Pont brothers in the
arms inquiry. These gentlemen adj
mitted having war contracts for the
staggering sum of S1,245 ,665, 900, a
gain in business of 1,130 percent

The great bankers, particularly
j. P. Morgan and his associates,
for the protection of whose loans
the United Stetas entered the World
War, did a billion dollar business
lending money to the warning pow
ers.
