A. F. L. President Speaks To
Mass Meeting Of General
Motors Auto Workers
PREDICT VICTORIES
Enthusiasm For VIM. Green
In Flint and Anderson
Shows Preference

Flint, Mich.-Charging that Johr
L. Lewis is planning a political coup
to make himself the dictator Of the
United States, President William
Green aroused mass meeting OF
General Motors auto workers here to
vociferous demonstrations of loyalty
to the American Federation Of Labor
The enthusiastic receptions accord
ed Mr.. Green in Flint and Anderson,
Ind, where he addressed another
mass meeting, caused A. F. of L. lead
ers to predict sweeping victories in
key General Motors plants in the
NLRB elections for collective bargain
ing representatives.
In his address here, Mr.. Green
challenged Lewis to explain why the
CIO is playing the Communist Party
game in this country and why it is
seeking to mobilize underprivileged
groups into third party.
He pointed out the significance of
the fact that Lewis has denounced all
outstanding Presidential candidates in
both major parties.
Mr.. Green denounced Lewis asser-
tion that the New Deal has brought
"seven years of nothing" to the work
ers. Without attempting to defend
the New Deal or President Roosevelt,
Mr.. Green cited the enactment of pro-
gressive social justice legislation and
the expenditure of more than % bill
lion dollars to reduce and relieve un-
employment. Of this sum, almost 900
million dollars was spent in Michigan
for the direct benefit Of auto workers,
Mr.. Green said.
Lewis break with the New Deal
was described as Colossal treachery"
by the A. F. of L. leader, who fur
ther castigated the treatment of the
auto workers by the CIO.
"The automobile workers." he said,
shave suffered more from CIO dicta-
ton, intrigue and nismanagement
than perhaps any other group Of
workers in the country.
"The CIO has used you for expert
mental purposes. It has~involved you
in constant warfare with, manage
ment. It has used you as a testing
laboratory in experimenting, with rev
olutionary processes. It has never
sought your welfare. It has never
permitted you to exercise democratic
control or to run your own union your

weather was practically unfit for any
one to go out Friday evening, large
attendance was at the regular meeting
of Local Union No. sc to hear the re-
port of the conference committee.

are having with the firm.
Delegate Lubeck of the Building

that he would see that further action
would be taken against Koehler and
koehler when similar cases are
brought to his attention. Delegate Ly-

Final Article By VIM. Green
President. American Fed
erution Of Labor

Westbrook Pegler's charge that the
American Federation of Labor con.
dones and protects dishonest unionisn
is deliberate falsehood.
The American Federation of Labor
denounces the miserable few who
manage to worm their way into the
labor movement for dishonest pur-
poses and personal advancement. We
call upon our affiliated unions to root
out and expel any individual found
guilty of a betrayal of trust. In addi-
tion, we call upon the constituted pub
lie authorities of our cities, states and
nation to enforce the law that applies
to all our citizens without fear or IA
vOr.
The American Federation of Labor
is a union of trade unions. 1t is COM
posed of the following groups of or
ganizations:
LOG National and international
Unions, which have 33,744 local unions.
49 State Federations Of Labor lin
cluding Puerto Rico).
BOG City Central bodies.
1868 directly affiliated local trade
and Federal Labor Unions.
a Departments, which have 942 To-
cal councils.
The national and international
unions, many of which antedate the
American Federation of Labor itself,
hold charters of affiliation with the
American Federation Of Labor which
give them full autonomy and authority
to govern their own internal affairs.
Their relation to the A. F. of L. is
like that of the States to the Federal
Government: Their elected officers
are responsible to the members of the
union, not to the A. F. of L. The Off
GERS of the A. F. of L. have no legal
or constitutional authority to super
sede the officers Of national or in
ternational union or to give them
orders. The A. F. of l.. has no power

Federation Drdws up Forces
To Insure Prompt Action
On Measure

Washington, D. C.-Friends of the
National Labor Relations Act rolled
up strong support in Congress this
week for the Norton amendments, ap-
proved by the House Labor Committee
and endorsed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
The bill will have the backing of
Administration forces in the House
and Senate, it was strongly indicated.
The only voices raised in opposi-
tion to the measure were those of the
CIO and certain employer-minded
newspapers.
President William Green declared
the Norton amendments have the
"wholehearted support" of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. He sent
out call to all A. F. of L. affiliates
to appeal to their Representatives in
Congress for the prompt enactment
of the bill. First to respond with a
100 per cent endorsement of the
amendments was the international
Association of Machinists.
Challenging the charges of the CIO
that the so-called "craft unit" provi-
sion in the Norton bill would Carve
up" industrial unions, Secretary
Treasurer George Meany of the A. F.
of L. disclosed in a letter to Mrs.
Mary Norton, chairman Of the House
Labor Committee, that it was taken
word for word from the New York
State Labor Relations Act which has
operated satisfactorily to both A. F.
of L. and CIO unions in the Empire
State.
The Norton Rill obtains four
simple sinendmefas 70 fne N. L..K: A.,
which provide:
l. Increase of the Labor Boards
membership from three to FIVE by the
appointment of two additional men,
bers by the President. This will
change the complexion of the present
unfair board and bring about better
and fairer administration.
2. That 'in any case where the ma
jority of employees of a particular
craft so decide the board shall desig-
nate such craft as unit appropriate
for the purpose Of collective bargain
ing" This will enable workers to
choose their own bargaining unit in
each case instead of having the board
impose its wishes on the workers. 1t
does not bar workers from choosing
industrial units.

To Hurm u. S.

Sebring, O.-Local Union No. 121 is
still holding two regular meetings a
month the second and fourth Tuesdays.
The attendance has been very en-
couraging, but we feel it should still
be better.
The shops in this district are not
operating so good at this time and
some of the boys are doing very good
with rod and reel. Why know of one
brother who bought car just for
fishing trips.
One of the plants has just an
nounced pay day every other Friday.
1t would be wonderful if we could all
be paid the same way.
Brothers and sisters regardless of
what our vocation or trade may be in
this pottery game we all strive to ex-
cell or become better in our chosen
field and that is as it should be. So
always try to make your work just a
little better. If any one of your fore
men or executives should wander so
far from the true American principles
as to tell you to slight your work in
order to get more production just
don't do it. If you do you will soon
have less work and maybe not any,
Never be afraid for anyone to examine
your work.
You are soon to pick your delegates
to attend the convention. Give this
careful thought and consideration.
Don't forget that May II is the day
we select the men who will be elected

the danger of negleCting our rights.
Enter the door of your voting place, then,
with reverence, reminding yourself that here,
through this and thousands of other doors
very like it, flows the life-blOOd Of your Coun
try's freedom
Enter it with respect; Respect for the
nation of which you are part. Respect for
that freedom of press and radio by which
you get all the facts - undoCtored and un-
suppressed - in order that you may Judge
and vote wisely. Respect for Others, recognlz
ing their right and duty to vote as they see
things, however much their view may differ
from yours. Their freedom of choice is an
infinitely precious possession to you.
But more. Enter it with the high resolve
that this door - with all it means to you and
your country and the world - shall never
more be closed. Say to yourself that here,
with the small act of voting, shall begin
series of bigger things you will do because
your country needs them from you to remain
great and free,
/ OR our United States will survive as We
know it, not because it is pleasant and a
free country, but because it is a strong, a
courageous and a united one as we'll And that
means it must have the active, wholehearted
support of all Americans. 1t needs your CO.
operation not only as voting part OF your
own system of government, but in work, in
self-denial, in the cheerful acceptance of in
convenienCes and of cherished hopes deferred.
1t may need your personal service, at the risk
of your life But above ALL it needs unanmty
Of resolve that the great fundamentals of
freedom are more important than anything
else we have - that they are worth any
sacrifice to hold.
There are men across the seas who say you
cannot reach this resolve. They say all
demoCracies are clumsy, selfish stupid - and
that ours, as the biggest, the richest and the
most tolerant, is the most contemplate of all.
They say - these arrogant men In the flush
of their first triumphS - that we are nation
of fat, white grubs, intent only on feeding our
selves upon the rotting structure of the state
in which we live. They say we deserve to be
set back and down. and that it will be easy
to do so when the time comes, because we
cannot make up our minds unanimously to
anything - least of all to work and sacrifice
for our way of life.
Let us give them the answer. Let us give
it as an America made so united and so
strong that there shall never be any question
of our being let alone to go our way as a
free nation. Let us, each one, accept with grim
intentness his personal responsibility in build
ing that strength. Let us resolve as we enter
our voting places that here. in the artery of
our freedom, shall begin our greater measure
of devotion to the ideal we call the United
States of America

They died in English fields and at the bar

it, lest it be closed to you. At times and places
across the globe the door of the voting place
was closed again - for little while as the
life of the world swings. But always, great
hearted men opened it once more. No spot IN
all the world calls so eloQuently upon you to
be worthy of your great tradition.
Approach it then, with reverence, and with
special gratitude this year that Providence
has spared us the agonies and humiliations In
which other people in other countries have
lost the liberties that center in the vote. Be
glad that within your humble seeming door
