New York, N. Y.-President Roose-

makers here, in telegram sent to the
Nations Chief Executive. Mr.. Anton
ini, first vice president of the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, assured the President that the
great bulk of the Italians in this
country would remain "loyal and
faithful" to the United States in war
or peace.
Meanwhile Joseph P. Ryan, inter-
national president of the International
Longshoremen's Association, assured
longshoremen of Italian extraction
many of whom have been plying their
trade on the New York waterfront
for rs years, that no wartime hys-
terra will be permitted to deprive them
Of their jobs. After comforting with
Mayor La Guardia on the subject, Mr..
Ryan told reporters, "the Mayor

THE officers and members of the affiliated
Unions of the Union Label Trades Department
of the American Federation of Labor pledge their
unqualified support to the President of the United
States in his program to protect America from
foreign invasion.
We have consistently advocated that our Gov
ernment buy products that are made in America
by American workers under standard Union Ia
for conditions. This would develop our own in
dustries. 1t would increase Americas economic
stability. In no better way can any organization
create greater loyalty and patriotism for nation
than to urge better working conditions for the men
who make the tanks airplanes and other munitions
Of war.
After ALL it will be the hands of American
workers who will actually turn out the weapons
of defense and it will be the hands of the workers
who will direct the mechanized forces in defense
of the United States and Canada
We believe that the best preparation for wal
is based on contented, self-supporting and self
respecting citizens who always ready and will

necessary munitions and transport them to the

and workers who, with Government money and
not private capital, will actually manufacture these
weapons of warfare.
America is filled with patriotic citizens who
will give their last drop of blood in trench and in
factory for the preservation of America. We are
happy to say that with the aroused public opin-

lists, America will soon become land where only
American workers will be employed and where
American-made goods will be purchased not only
by government but by all American consumers as

Again. without any qualifications, we pledge
our loyal support to make America safe for Amer

TRAINING WITH A PURPOSE

7 ABOR is interested in the compulsory youth
~ service plan outlined by the President at one
of his Semi-weekly press conferences. Generally
speaking, the President said the plan envisaged
some form of compulsory military service for the
youth of the land.
Age limits of 19 to 81, for both men and women
are spoken of as the desirable minimum and maxi
num- although much of the rest of the plan is still
vague except that the One-year compulsory gov
ernment service would not be strictly military, in
the sense that drilling, military tactics, and the
use of firearms Wolld not be stressed
In modern war, technicians and skilled work
ers behind the lines as important as the tank
drivers and airpane pilots and generals If the
draftees are too be taught trades labor has more
than direct interest in the proposed conscription
because heretofore in many skills, teaching new
men and women certain kinds of trades, simply
added to the unemployed in seaSOnable and idle
industries or tended to depress the wage levels in
others By the simple law ct snpply ard demand.
If the government will make sure that what
these boys and girls learn in their year service
will stand them in hand in peace time and not add
to the ranks of the unemployed all will be well
Or if it teaches them sks useful only to the mill
tary branches of the government, everything will
still be all right. However if the training given
usurps regulated apprenticeship programs, then
organized labor is more than Interested
Labor on the Watch
That the parent organization, the American
Federation of Labor is on guard in these trouble
some times when labor needs able leadership is
evidenced by the 27 recommendations submitted
by the Executive Council to the Resolutions Com
mittee of the G.. 0. p. The forthrghtness and rep
etition of labor's aims as embodied in the recon-
mendations is ample testimony to the nation that
neither major political party escape the watch

PrOpOrtiOnate Representation
Labor is saying a lot about national defense
and with right and vengeance. On labor falls
the greatest burden of national defense Labor
gets the oudest call for man-power, taxation and
sacrifice.
1t is well and good for Congress to seriously
consider the building and financing of $4,000
planes, to talk Of tanks in mutiples of thousands
and Of guns in multiples of millions. But when the
last "aye" is recorded labor will have to build the
planes, rvet the tanks and mold the guns and
then, to boot, from the workers will come the
hands and eyes and brains to man the implements
of war toward their final destination.
Nor should the voice and counsel Of labor be
considered to the ante room. Labor must have
it's place at the council table. The representation
of labor must be proportionate representation.
The rights must be commensurate with the duties.

: Liberty At Stake :
By
DIR. CHARLES STELZLE

To most of us liberty is priceless
heritage. We have gloried in our free
dom, but some of us have forgotten
the price with which our freedom was
purchased. We have enjoyed liberty
|as though it were a gift which carried
with it no obligation, and we have been
reckless spendthrifts of our inheri-
|tance.
1t seems a great bore to stand when
the band plays "The Star Spangled
Benner," forgetting that it represents
that for which "our fathers died Is *
land of the pilgrims PRIDE" whereas
we should feel like jumping to ou1
feet and waving our arms, with tears
in our eyes, because of what "Old
Glory" means to us. This may seem
ia bit hysterical, but the whole world
is on the verge of a great catastrophe
which may vastly affect our own coun-
try.
While we have been enjoying liberty
without discipline, the people in the
|totalirarian countries have been sub
jected to discipline without liberty
They have been Systematically hard
|ened for brutal combat while we have
been softened through Indifference
self-indulgence and sheer laziness
The virtues which dominated the faith
ers of our country, who, through great
sacrifice won for us the freedom and
liberty which we still enjoy, have been
replaced by sophistication and wise
cracking, and we are permitting crack
pots and irresponsible agitators to in
suit our constitution and ridicule our
form of government.
We have supinely accepted teachers
of subversive doctrines from abroad
viewed with indulgence leaders of
movements who frankly declared that
they are trying to create class hatred
and race prejudice in our midst, and
condoned politicians who are too
spineless to protest against those who
are boldly laying the foundations for
our destruction. The same tactics in
dulged in in the countries which they
hold up as idealistic would send them
to a concentration camp or before a
firing squad.
When such enemies of our country
|flaunt their contempt in our faces, the
time has come for every loyal Ameri-
lean to stand up in his wrath and
speak out as loyal citizen, particu-
larly as we are now confronting forces
which threaten our future as a Re-
public of free men and women.
We have not attained the full glory
which lies inherent in our system of
government, although we believe that
we already have the best form of gov
|ernment in the world. But we must
vigorously oppose those whose sole
purpose is oEr uestruction and humii.
iation, lest we be subjected to the rule
of those who are opposed to the prin-
ciples of freedom and liberty which
were bought at so great price, and
which have made America the haven
for the oppressed of other nations.

Trenton, n. ]. ULNS).-Workers
who take no part in dispute in a

The Kiss of Death
(From the Washington News,


Mr.. LEWIS has, as the saying goes, run the
1'A gamut-from right to left, to extreme left
and back to right again Until recently, the Re-
pubcans seemed to have no illusions as to the
purpose of his travels. He was out to sell bill
|of goods. He was looking for someone who would
|let him be boss. Activated by intense loyalty to
himself Mr. Lewis seeking to make Mr.
Lewis great political leader.
? How the Republicans laughed at that idea
Here, they said, was man who wouldn't stay put
"a man who wanted to rule or ruin--a man who
would turn against any organization party he
couldn't control-a man whose support had be-
come a political kiss of death.
We can understand why Mr.. Lewis is once more
smuggling up to the Republicans. But, unless it
lis that they're just too naive for this realistic
world, we can't understand why some Republicans
are now puckering their lips and asking to be
kissed.

ences broken off by John L. Lewis, CIO chief a
year ago. But Lewis meeting with his executive
board, still opposed such action.
Further strength for the AFL's position in the

The ILGWU took it's 250,0O0 members back into

he does not like the Republican Party either. At
