Meany Appeals for Labor Unity
Urges Planning Now to Avert
Perils Of Postwar Collapse
Treasurer of the American Federation of Labor
Speaks at dwelling of Statue of Samuel GOmpers-
Planning Agency Would Keep Wheels Moving.

Uniondale, L. I. (ILNS).-Speaking
at the unveiling here of a statue of
the late Samuel Gompers on Labor
Day, George Meany, secretary-treas-
urer of the American Federation of
Labor, appealed for restoration of
unity in the labor movement and said
the A. F. of L. is ready to do it's full
part.
A motorcade of 5000 cars filled with
trade unionists came here for the un-
yelling of the statue, which stands in
front of the Labor Lyceum Meany
was the principal speaker. His ad-
dress was broadcast by the Columbia
Broadcasting System.
"The need for labor unity is greater
today than ever BEFORE" Meany said
"The need for unity in a period of
postwar economic stress is SO obvious
that no comment upon it is necessary.
"The American Federation of La
Dor is ready and waiting today, as it
has been since the start of this con-
troversy, to continue its efforts to
compose the differences that have
caused this division"
Another Depression Seen

need of planning now to provide en-

Other Grave Problems Face Country Labor Head Warns
in Labor Day Speech-'Safety of America Democratic
Way of Life Depend on Defeat of Totalitariansm"

Grand Rapids. Mich. (ILNS) The
immediate and main problem confront
ing America is the winning of the war.
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor, declared at
big Labor Day celebration here. His
speech was heard from coast to coast
over the network of the National
Broadcasting Company.
America already is too deeply in
volved in this war-and rightfully so
to be able to countenance a Nazi-
Fascist victory" President Green said.
"We cannot afford to let the enemies
of democracy gain complete conquest
of Europe, Asia and Africa because
we know that the Western Hemisphere
becomes their next goal.
"The safety of America, the pres
ervation of our democratic way of
life and the progress of the human
race depend upon the utter defeat of
"That is why the five million mem
bers of the American Federation of
Labor have rallied to the national
defense emergency and have accom-
plished miracles of production. That
is why | confidently expect this great
army of loyal workers to go on to
even greater accomplishments during
the coming months"
Labor Hard at Work
To Bring Victory
President Green declared that labor
is not afraid and has unshaken faith
in America.
''We refuse to believe in the
triumph of evil" he added. "We
know that new day is coming
when peace and progress will once
again be restored to mankind.
"We are not sitting back idly wait
ing for that day. We are pitching in
with everything We have to make it
come quickly and, if the necessity
arises we are ready to fight to the
last drop of blood to achieve our goal.'
Other Big Problems
Call for Action
President Green declared that in
addition to the winning of the war,
bad housing in defense centers, high
rate of industrial accidents, soaring
costs of living, defense unemployment
and danger of economic collapse at
the end of the war are among serious
problems demanding remedial action.
AT this very moment" he said,
thousands of defense workers are
living under shocking conditions, in
tents, in trailer camps, in novels that
are a threat to health and life. We
know that these conditions are due to
the defense emergency, but we insist
that they be promptly remedied. We
ask Congress to appropriate immedi-
ately sufficient funds for nation
wide defense housing program.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-09-12

another pressing problem" he con-
tinued, "is the fearfully high rate of
preventable industrial accidents di-
rectly traceable to the speed-up of
defense production. The records show
that in 1910 industrial accidents
caused 1900 deaths, $4,000 perma-
nent disabilities and 1,25000O tenn
porary disabilities.
Nation Must Protect
Toilers, He Says
America cannot afford to waste
its human resources that way For
defense and for humanitarian reasons,
the nation must protect it's toilers
from being manned and killed while
at work"
Warning that priority given defense
production may make 100000 work
ers idle in non-defense industries,
Green urged making of plans at once
to convert threatened factories to de-
fense production or to find substitute
materials which will permit them to
continue operation.
'"The American Federation of Labor
is not waiting for the government to
act but is assigning it's own repre-
sentatives to find ways and means to
prevent this unnecessary industrial
blackout," he said.
Worst Depression
Seen Threatening
Green demanded the start of plan
ming now to cope with unemployment
when the defense emergency ends
He warned against delay, saying that
the moment defense production stops,
millions of workers will inevitably lose
their jobs. He added:
"a worse depression than any
this country has ever seen may
descend upon US. Therefore, the
American Federation of Labor
has called upon President Roose-
welt to start planning now for
expanded peacetime production
which will take up the slack of
war production when the time
comes.
eve have asked him to invite rep
resentatives of business, finance, labor
and agriculture to sit down with gov
ernment representatives and draw up
long-range program. That is only
common-sense insurance against eco-
nomic collapse"

ployment at the end of the defense
program. He warned against the as
sumption that the present boom will
be permanent and predicted there
would be another depression, worse
than the last one, unless steps are
taken to avert it.
"The American Federation of La
bor," the speaker said, believes that
this catastrophe can be avoided
only if something is done about it
now. If we wait until a new and
more terrible economic collapse has
actually taken place, it will be too late.
Planning Agency Asked
"The A. F. of L. declares that the
time to prepare is the present. And
to meet this situation the federation
has simple proposal. We urge that
a planning agency be established i'm
mediately upon which labor, agricul-
ture, industry and government would
be represented by the very best brains
to be found in each of these fields.
'The sole and exclusive task of this
planning agency should be to devise a
practical program to keep the wheels
of industry turning and American
workers working after the war ends"
