Wire To Green
T ? Unemployment Council asked
William Green to inform all af1lia-
ted bodies of the A. F. Of L. il
this meets with the approval Of the
A. F. Of l..
The telegram to Green said:
Recognizing that President
Roosevelt's attempt to secure
public support for his effort to
override the Senate vote on the
prevailing wage amendment to
the public works bill represents
serious attack upon the living
standards of all workers, the en-
ployed and unemployed, organized
and unorganized, we believe that
all abor organizations must
unitedly meet this challenge with
vigorous resistance and demand
for union wage rates.
I'VE are calling upon all our
affiliated organizations to cooper
ate with Central Labor bodies and
ether units of the A. F. Of L. for
intensive action within the next
two-week period. If this action
meets with your approval, will
you inform your affiliated organi-
cations accordingly?
Have you any alternative pro-
posals for concerted action il the
above does not entirsly meet with
ycur approval? In view of the
urgency = the situation, re hope
that you find it possible to reply
without delay"
