One acre contains 100 square
rods, 4,840 square yards, or 43,56O
square feet. If the length and width
of any field be known, the required
width and length to enclose an acre
may be found by dividing the known
distance in feet into the number of
square feet in an acre. The length
of a side of a square acre is 208.71

of Labor in carrying on organizing
work among the unorganized.
at is the firm opinion of the Exec
utiye Council that a more vigorous
and active campaign, if such is pos
sible, should be carried on among the
unorganized during the coming year
We are planning to do this. 1t is our
firm determination to organize the
unorganized in every field and in all
lines of industry into unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor.
BASED upon the facts, the wide ex-
perience of the Executive Council of
the American Federation of Labor and
its intimate knowledge of the facts
and realities of organizing work
which must be met, the Executive
Council recommends that the fifty
ninth annual convention of the Amer

sent the cases Of subordinate unions
which are presented to the National
Labor Relations Board, and to con-
tinue to render the high and exalted

"The Council feels that it can with

opinion that war preparations and

eve are confident that if the people
who reside in totalitarian nations were
in control Of their government, if in
these nations there were a rule of the

pie, that war and the threat of war
would no longer disturb the peace Of
the world.
"We can not help but believe that
the masses of the people in Germany

countries are peace-loving people,
men and women who abhor war as
the masses Of the people do here in
America. We are confident their state
of mind is similar to that which ex-

be no threat of war if the final de-
cision regarding war were vested in

constant growth of the membership

can Federation of Labor was instruc-
lively set forth in the report made by

achievement Mr.. Morrison said:
"The total paid membership of the
affiliated national and international
organizations and the directly charter
ed trade and federal labor unions for
the month of August, 1889, was A.
006,354. This represents gain Of
1,566,299 members since the ten in
ternational unions were suspended.
National and international unions
and local trade and federal labor
unions are required to pay per capita
tax upon their full paid-up member
ship and, therefore, the membership
does not include the members who
were unemployed during the fiscal
year."
Included in Mr.. Morrison's report
were figures showing the average
paid-up membership of the American
Federation of Labor since 1897, when
the membership was 264,S25.

to 548,321, and in 1902 jumped to over
one million, the exact figure being
1924 ,399.
In 1910 the membership was l.
