Coop Support
 Asked of Labor

WASHINGTON-Senator George w. Norris (Ind., Nebr) and Rep. Jerry Voorhis (D., Cal), have asked leaders of organized labor to be come zealous1y active in the educa- tional work which will lead to the formation of consumer cooperative organizations in a joint telegram to the heads of the country's three major labor groups.
 In long telegram to A.F.L. Pres William Green, CLO. Pres. Philip Murray and Thomas Cashen, chair man of the Railway Labor Executives Association, Norris and Voorhis de- clared that wage increases alone will not solve the problems because the cost of living always rises faster than wages"

Convention Backs F. D. R 1O09o-Wants Labor at
 Peace Conference

The 6lst annual convention of the American Federation of La bOr held in Seattle, Wash., which ended last week, was tuned to the headlines. Permeated with the atmosphere of war and nation al defense, the delegates backed to the hilt President William Greens fighting speech which opened the convention. The A.F.L. now stands four square behind President ROosevelt's for eign policy and even anticipates any eventuality precipitated by the international situation.
 PAINTERS, I.L.C., CONTRIBUTE
 The attention of the delegates was called to the growing need of the e1n- battled anti-Nazi peoples Unions were appealed to for funds. It was announced that the Intl. Ladies Gar ment Workers Union had contributed $50,000 to this end. Pres. L. P. Lin delof of the Bro. of Painters, Dec orators & Paperhangers presented Matthew Woll, chairman of the American Labor Committee To Aid British Labor, with a check for $6,- 250, donated by New York and Brooklyn painters.
 President William Green, in a ra- dio address over national hook-up, urged "every worker in every union" to stay on the job and keep the wheels of industry turning at full speed "un- til the enemies of America are sound ly defeated" The broadcast was in response to President Roosevelt's spe- cial message to the convention.
 NO WALKOUTS BY 99%
 Green pointed to the public declara ton issued by the A.F.L. executive council six months previously asking affiliated unions and bodies to refrain from strikes and to submit all dis putes to the mediation facilities pro- vided by the national government. Green oontended that 99%o of the A.F.L. membership had refrained from walkouts.
 The convention went on record against compulsory arbitration and anti-strike legislation.
 DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
 The convention concerned itself with many domestic problems created by defense and with postwar prob lems. It authorized the setting up of a committee to study the problems of postwar reconstruction. It was urged that labor be given a seat at the peace conference at the close of the war.
 With the rising cost of living plagu- ing the families of organized labor, the convention declared, "Any form of price fixing will indirectly affect wages when union representatives ne- gotiate for labor's share of the re- turns of the employing companies. , No wage freezing! Price control will prevent imitation.
 DEFENSE PROBLEMS
 The delegates urged the wid- est possible distribution of de- fense subcOntracting, both to speed the program and to check unemployment. Low-rent hous- ing and slum clearance construc- ton must be continued especial ly in the defense areas. Rents must be curbed.

Calhoun Terry said nothing. His

But when it came to three, the most
likely explanation was that a hired
