Smart direction on the part

Dick Powell is particularly
fine as the ambitious warbler

romantic and hectic. Rosemary

obviously talented-in the role
of the heroine, while sister Lola
Lane does a neat job as the
f1ighty film star.

The text of Mr.. Morrison's Labor
Day Message follows:
Increased Membership
The c. |. O. has failed in its pur-
pose to rule or ruin within the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. Since the
suspension of the ten national and in
ternational organizations for refusal
to withdraw from the c. l. o., the 1O2
national and international and local
trade and federal labor unions affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor have gained over 100000 dues
paying members.
Leaders of the c. l. O. include sew
eral outstanding figures in the Ameri-
can labor movement. 1t is not sur
prising that their attacks upon the
American Federation of Labor at
tracted widespread attention and be-
came the uppermost topic of public
discussion. The leaders of the seces-
sion movement have had their orgy of
publicity. By way of competition our
Federation has little to offer in the
way of sensationalism.
One valuable lesson to be learned
from membership and leadership in the
labor movement is that labor union
must have within itself the elements
that will make it durable.

Democracy dnd Equal Opportunity

The continued progress of the bona
fide labor movement, despite the dis
ruptive scheme Of secession group,
and emphatic support of equal oppor-
tunity for everyone under democratic
principles are stressed by William
Green, president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in his Labor Day
Message for 1888, prepared for the
Labor Day editions of the Official and
Weekly Labor Press and issued from
the headquarters of the A. F. of L. in
Washington, D. c.
Among the outstanding recent
achievements of the American Fedora
ton of Labor for those who work for
a living, Mr.. Green emphasized many
wage cuts prevented, the advance in
benefits paid to jobless workers under
unemployment compensation laws, the
recent law fixing minimum wages and
maximum hours for workers in inter-
state industries, legislation affirming
the right of workers to organize in
unions of their choice, and the law de-
termining labor standards for en-
ployes of contractors who furnish ma
terials' or supplies to the Federal Gov
ernment.
In conclusion, Mr.. Green pleads for
the end of disruption and new unity
in the labor movement.

Morrison Reports Cain of Over Million
Dues-P Pdying Members In Two Years

The outstanding achievement Of the
American Federation of Labor in add
ing more than 100000 workers to it's
dues-paying membership during the
last two years, despite the disruption
ist and destructive policy of the Sc
cessionist Committee for Industrial
Organization, is emphasized by Frank
Morrison, secretary-treasurer of the
Federation, in his Labor Day Message
for 1888, prepared especially for the
Labor Day editions of the Official and
Weekly Labor Press and issued from
the headquarters of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in Washington, D. C.
Mr.. Morrison also stressed the num-
berless benefits secured for working
men and women in the Legislative field
by the consistent and persistent ap-
plication of the non-partisan political
policy of the American Federation of
Labor, with especial emphasis on the
nti-Injunction Act and the National
Labor Relations Act, which taken to-
gether, guarantee by law the right of
working men and women to organize
in labor unions of their own choice.
With regard to the National Labor
Relations Act, Mr.. Morrison said its
enactment was sponsored by the Amer

RECORD QUESTIONED

The American Federation of Labor
will continue its policy Of supporting
the friends and opposing the enemies
of labor on a non-partisan political
basis. This was made plain by
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in
statement at Atlantic City, N. j., fol-
lowing the conclusion of the eighth
days meeting of the A. F. of L. Ex-
ecutive Council, in session there.
Reviewing the results of the primary
elections in many parts Of the country,
Mr.. Green said they indicated that the
non-partisan basis had proved prac-
tical and successful, while the indepen-
dent political action plan applied by
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, headed by John L. Lewis, could
be classed as a failure.
1t was made clear by Mr.. Green that
the only concern of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was the legislative
record and public utterances Of can
didates for office on questions vitality
affecting the workers and particularly
their support or non-support Of meas
ures endorsed by the A. F. of L.
A. F. of L. Victories in Primaries
AS an indication of the non-partisan
character of the American Federation

Despite the sharp and serious period
Of economic decentralization through
which we are passing and despite the
efforts of rebel group to build up
a dual labor organization, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor exercises
greater prestige and influence in both
the political and the economic field
than ever before. Our record makes
US a dependable, constructive organ

ress for wage-earners abreast of

Our objectives are in line with
democratic ideals for we seek equal
opportunity for all men and women.
We realize that we must build ladder
round upon round, making it possible
for all to mount to the plane Of equal
opportunity. AS we build and mount.

ties. The American Federation of La
