AL WILL CONDUCT
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
Organization Denies CAMPAIGN
Aimed At Similar Eff
forts By CLIO

MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 6.-OP-The
American Federation of Labor an
nounced today an organizing drive
to enlist 500, 900 new members by
October, but denied the campaign
was aimed at similar efforts of the
rival CIO.
Emphasis will be placed on the
far west and south, but a statement
by the federation's executive council
said the campaign in general would
be extended to all fields which have
hitherto resisted unionization."
In announcing the federation's pro.
gram, President William Green said
it was not in any way spurred by
activities of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations, and that he did
not believe it would result in any
intensification OF CLIO membership
work.
Among fields upon which the fed
GRAFTON palms to concentrate are tex
tiles, retail trade, marine workers,
office and white collar workers, gov.
eminent employees, teachers and
miscellaneous industries"
Included in the latter is the news
paper field, where Green said the
federation already has some local
chapters. He said no particular EN-
phasis would be placed on organiza'
ton among newspaper workers, but
that wherever the newspaper I'm
IONS want to come into our fedora
ton, we will take them in"
Green said results CT a recent
meeting in Salt Lake City, when 6
five-state membership drive was
launched to unionize unorganize6
workers in west coast industries, hat
been prompt and encouraging" ,an6
that the next major regional Con
ference would be held in Atlanta
March 2.

State Tax Revenues Up
Z Per Cent Over 1899

Chicago (ILNS) With general and
selective sales taxes producing more
than 40 per cent of the total, the 48
states will receive an estimated 3d.
131 100000 in 1910 tax revenues, an
analysis by the Federation of Tax Adj
ministrators showed. The total rep
resents an increase of 73 per cent over
1889, and 26 per cent over 1887.
The major sources of revenue were
payroll, property, death and gift, in
come, business and occupation, motor
vehicle, and general sales taxes, and
the selective tobacco, liquor and gas
oline sales taxes. If the payroll tax,
used for unemployment insurance pur-
poses and producing about a fifth of
all state revenues, is not included, the
1910 increase is rs per cent over 1889
and 8 per cent over 1887.

Jobs In Canada Reported /.
AT A Record High Level

Montreal (ILNS) Employment IN
Canada is breaking records because OF
war activity, Bank of Montreal re-
view reports.
"Partly because of the acceleration
in war industries" the bank says, land
partly because of the calling OF men
for military training, employment is
at the highest level in the twenty years
during which records have been kept.
and signs of shortage in skilled la
Dor have appeared. Consequently,
workers engaged in what are consid-
cred essential war services are to be
permitted to postpone their military
training and certain firms are also
laying plans to train women for work
which the latter have not hitherto at
tempted
"The increase in employment is
having it's reflection on wholesale and
retail trade all over the country, while
the building construction industry,
long at low level, is experiencing
a marked revival"

UNION TACKLES BIG JOB

The international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union has done some big
things in its long and successful ca
reer. In addition to making notable
progress in the economic field of bet
ter pay, hours and working conditions,
the union has pioneered in the fields
of educational, recreational, and health
work, making records in these activ-
tiles that have attracted wide interest.
Now the l. L. G. w. u. proposes to
tackle perhaps one of the biggest jobs
in it's history-launching of a COOP
erative program with the employers
for greater production efficiency in the
New York dressmaking industry and
promotion of New York City as a
world style center.
The proposed program is typical of
this progressive union, which has
never hesitated to take on tough jobs
Aim of the program is primarily to
check the exodus of the dressmaking
industry from the New York City
area. Admittedly the problem is diff
fcult of solution but the unions record
of constructive endeavor in the past
gives assurance of success in the latest
venture.

MISS PERKINS URGES
LABOR UNITY EFFORT

New Orleans (ILNS).- In speech
to the American Federation of Labor
convention, Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary of Labor, urged labor to make a
new effort for unity in its own ranks
and commended the A. F. of L. for
taking a first step in that direction
by its invitation to the c. |. o. to re-
sumo peace negotiations.
Miss Perkins praised the work of
the A. F. of l.. in improving labor
standards and said she believed CO.
operation between organized workers
and the government was better than
ever before.
"The months directly ahead demand
that the nations wage earners, en-
ployers and all other groups cooper
ate as never before in the interest of
the national well-being and in the in
terest of national Defense" the secre-
tary said. "The American Federation
of Labor will do it's part unselfishly,
unstintingly and wholeheartedly. The
wage earners of America will join
them and all other groups of our be-
loved country in an old-fashioned
democratic, American patriotic effort
that we may be prepared to face the
world with confidence, to plan and de-
velop here a constantly better society
in which the brotherhood of man under
the Fatherhood of God becomes daily
reality. The labor movement of the
United States of America will con-
tribute to, participate in, and protect
this society with all it's strength.
Miss Perkins was enthusiastically
applauded at the end of her address
and President William Green described
her talk as helpful and instructive"

FATEFUL CHOICE

For some years past Congress has
had an "anti- World War bloc" of
three. Senators Norris and Lundeen
and Representative Knutson were the
only remaining members who had
voted against war in 1917. A few
weeks ago Senator Lundeen was killed
in an airliner crash. But the election
returns brought the bloc back up to
three, for Miss jeanette Rankin was
returned by Montana voters to the
House seat in which she wept as she
voted may" on the war resolution in
II. Here's hoping neither Miss Ran
kin nor Senator Norris nor Represent
ative Knutson ever again is con-
fronted with such a fateful choice
