AFL URGES LABOR
MEN BE NAMED TO
ALL DRAFT BOARDS

washington, ID. &. (ILNS).-LaDor
representation on all boards charged
with administration of the selective
service system is vigorously urged by
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in letter
to secretaries of affiliated central labor
bodies and state federations of labor.
Labor representation is sought to
guard the interests of the workers,
says President Green, who declares it
is matter of "vital Importance to Ia
Dor" that as wide labor representation
as possible be secured on all selective
service act boards.
Pointing out that the machinery is
to be set up by the governors of the
states and that after registration, the
classification and selection of men will
be by local boards, Green goes on to
say:
'In addition, an advisory board for
registrants is to be appointed in each
case, to advise and assist registrants
in filling out questionnaires, making
appeals, etc.
Board to Hear Appeals
"The decisions of the local board as
to classification, when appeal is made,
will be reviewed by the board of ap-
peals. Each board of appeals will
consist of five members to be ap-
pointed by the President upon recon-
mendation of the governor, each men,
Der to be at least SO years old and
resident of the area. The board of ap-
peals is to be composite board rep
resentative of all activities of it's dis
trict, and will include one member
from labor, one from industry, one
physician, one lawyer, and where ap-
plicable, one member from agriculture.
at is vitality important to organ
lied labor that the rights and inter
ests of workers be fully protected in
the administration of the act In view
of this, it is imperative that your or
ganization urgently recommend to the
governor of your state for appoint
ment on each of these board labor rep
resentatives qualified to serve on them.
Matter Vitally Important"
"It is important to secure as wide
labor representation as possible on all
boards responsible for the administra-
tion of the act, but it is most vital that
suitable representative of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor be given ap-
pointment as labor representative on
appeal boards.
"This is a matter of vital impor-
tance to labor and I urge you to give
it your most immediate attention"

"In what field of democratic free
dom have you labored?"
"Where is the harvest of liberty
you have reaped?"
"What practice have you had in the
tools of democracy?"
"Who have been your comrades in
the practice of self-government? ?"
"What contribution have you, and
they, made to clean politics ?"
Ask the would-be champion of de-
mocracy-
With what sword did you cut the
bonds of unorganized labor?
Where is your shield for Tending off
yellow-dog contracts?
With what sling did you slay giant
injunctions?
Where was it you conquered mo-
nopolies for the people?
On which side of the lobbies were
your contributions paid?
What scars do you bear, inflicted in
battles for working men?
Just what have you in common with
those who labor?
Southern France is Nazi-occupied-
But there were few industrial plants
there
From Northern, industrial France,
machinery is being removed
Is France to be denoted to the level
of hand-labor peasantry?
1t may mean the rise of French
birth-rate-
But it will place France, along with
Poland, in serfdom-
Which will be another way to de-
stroy modern democracy.
