Groundwork Ldid By Joint
Conference Of Three
States

Portland, Ore. - Groundwork was
laid for AFL coordinated effort on
the Pacific Coast by joint conference
of the three State labor federations
held here.
The conference, arranged by Meyer
l.. Lewis, western director for the
Federation of Labor, brought
Oregon and California State
Federations, under official sanction of
the three groups. The program and
campaign effected by the conference
will be put into action on the coast
by the three organizations acting in
unison and operating within their
own areas.
The definite objective of the cam
paign will be the stabilization of la
Dor and working conditions in sub
normal areas where stiff opposition to
labor exists; where organizational ef-
fort for the purpose of elevating sub
standard wage and working conditions
to an American level is being fought; !;
and to coordinate all AFL activities
so that the strength of the entire AFL
movement can be brought to the aid
of the weak spots.
Particular attention will be given
to the so-called "black spots" of labor
relations on the Coast.

Unemployed Have
Right To Organize
Total Defense Not Complete
Until All Have Work.
President Says

Chicago ULNS).-The unemployed
! have the same right to organize as
the employed, President Roosevelt de.
clared in a letter to the American
Security Conference, held here to form
new organization Of unemployed anc
WPA workers.
Roosevelt pledged the unemployed
protection in the "orderly exercise" OF
the right to organize and commended
the plan Of the organization to form
a 100 per cent American movement
"This administration" the President
said, recognizes that total defense of
our shores, our homes, our institu-
tions, cannot be complete until all
Americans willing and able to work
have a job and decent standard OF
living; and that all unable to work
through no fault of their own have
security"
Purpose Is Commended
His letter was addressed to David
LASER, conference chairman, who re-
Gently resigned as president of the
Workers Alliance because, he charged
it was controlled by Communists. The
conference, with 200 delegates, many
of them former members of the alli-
ance, met to consider problems affect
ing unemployed and WPA workers,
and formulate program for their
security.
Roosevelt expressed hope that the
session would prove beneficial to the
underprivileged and the nation as a
whole, and said he would be glad to
receive any program proposed by the
conference.
"Your announced purpose-to form
a 100 per cent American movement
of unemployed, WPA workers and
other underprivileged-is legitimate
and laudable," his letter said. at can
assist the nation in securing the view
point of unemployment and help to
render a patriotic service to our ma
tion as well.
Viewpoint of All Needed
81 have consistently maintained
that those unemployed through no
fault Of their own or employed on
work projects have the same right to
|self-organization possessed by other
groups in the population. This Ad-
ministration has upheld the right of
self-organization of project workers
and will protect them in the orderly
exercise of that right. Our democ-
racy, threatened as it is today, needs
the viewpoint Of all sections of our
population in order to solve our press
ing economic and social problems.
"That is particularly true of the
question Of unemployment. This Ad-
ministration recognizes that total de-
fense of our shores, our homes, our
institutions, cannot be complete until
all Americans willing and able to
work have a job and a decent stand
ard of living, and that all unable to
work through no fault of their own
have security.
"Much Progress Made"
"In the last eight years we have
made much progress toward security
for all. That good work must go on
until we have conquered the problem
of assuring our people an American
standard of living"

OFFICERS SUGAR
A Certain Lion Gets Told
BELTS HIS RANK
; essessssseesssseeseeoes

Have you ever heard the story
of Officers Sugar?
If you haven't, you probably
will if, perchance, you belong to
an organization and, again, per-
chance, you invite Commander
Ray w. Byrns, of the local naval
station, to speak before your
group.
A certain Lion of the local
club had it told to him before the
whole membership at the supper
Injecting Thursday-and it goes
like this:
"A warrant officer had been
promoted to chief gunner on a
certain ship in the navy, and, in
anticipation of all the benefits of
his new position, which included
a new rating for mess, he order
ed that the steward strut his
stuff in giving him service that
was his due.
"All went quite well at his in
auguration meal as a ranking of
ficer until it came to the coffee
course. When he lifted the sugar
bowl lid, he discovered just plain
granulated sugar to be therein.
Then he exploded.
Where's my Officers Sugar ,
he demanded to know. -
upon inquiry it developed
that, as a lower grade officer, he
had once seen an officers table,
and he noticed that the sugar
used by his superior officer was
cube sugar. Not just plain granu-
lated sugar, the kind he had been
using all of his navy-life to date.
81 want my Officers Sugar ,
was his demand.
And the story told Thursday
by Commander Byrns was by
way of Gliding the club program
chairman-that certain Lion-for
not, seeing to it that the Lions
Clubs steward" had Officers
Sugar" for him.
