Launching a southern organizing

which would permit wage diteren'
tials.
Here with labor leaders from 10
southern states for a tWo-day con
ference, Green spoke at a banquet
(boardcast by NBC-Red Network.
To termed the south 1.-The new land
Of promise" and took issue with what
he called farm chair theorists" who
regard the south "as a permanently
submerged area"
Wage ~differentials, he said, have
been supposedly in favor of the
south, "but actually they were
against it. Every wage differential
has been another link in the chain
that has deferred the economic pro-
gress of the SOUTH"
Green declared that in seeking to
organize the south the ALL does
not propose to accomplish its ends
by revolution"
I'VE do not propose to create great
Industrial turmoil. That is not our
way. We propose to help the work
ers of the south, to stimulate indus
try in the south and to benefit all
the people of the south by applying,
through organization, the principle
Of unionmanagement cooperation.
That is our way. That is the Ameri-
