ORGANIZE FOR PEACE

Another organizing drive IS on the order or the DAY
here in Dayton for those of us who have organized IN such
a short time; SO that we now hold sole bargaining rights tor
almost 100000 persons.
This is an organizing drive for peace-a drtue to
GET American out of this Uar and to KEEP her out.
Yes, through. presidential decree and through laws
passed by anti-Labor congressman and senators, America
now is in this war. Make no mistake about that. All except
the shooting has ~begun-and the commercial press tells us
every day that the shooting is not far away.
But, what about the thousands and thousands and thou
sands of CIO workers here in Dayton? What about the
more than 100000 CIO workers in the United States? Did
anyone ever tell them they were going to war-or for what,
if they had to go, they would fight?
WE HIN NOT!
In what seems now to have been one of the most peculiar cleo
ton "sruggies" in the history of the United States, President
Roosevelt and his Republican Opponent Wendell L. WiIkie,
both told the American people that they were against war. Both
pledged solemnly that there would be no war. Both assured
American fathers and mothers that their sons never would be
members of a second, CHASTITY AEF.
Nou, both seem to agree. WiIkie blandly says
"That aoas just campaign oratory" Mr.. Roosevelt calls
Dakar in Africa and Singapore in Asia parts of a Western
hemisphere that must be defended at the price of the
Ives of those of as 1ho work for q lvtng.
John L. Lewis, whose CIO miners are frst-line fighters
in Labor's real war, the war for American standards OF living,
said on Labor Day of 1899: Labor wants no war, nor any
part of war" Not long ago, he characterized the fierce
struggle in Europe and Africa and Asia as: "A silly imper-
iaishc war"
We suggest to the CLIO men and women in Dayton that
this struggle is exactly that kind Of a war. Is Nazsn fright
fuI and hatefu. VI course! Every American peneVeS So
and rightly!
But, how about the millions of cooie laborers in Eng
lands India, where thousands of union leaders are now in
Jail, and how about the fine Irishmen, whom England would
now starve out because they, like us in Dayton, prefer peace
to war?
And evem more to the point, hoso about these aoar-
fanciers' attacks on US-on OUR CO., right here in
America? HoU about the haos, passed under the guise
of national DEFENSE" aobich are designed to kill our
unions and kill them quickly?
The hour is late, but it is not too late. 1t is now time to
organize for peace-to organize Labor for peace, behind
Labor's real leaders and not behind the phonies like Lind
bergh and Wheeler. We can do it right here in Dayton in
our own way, with our own leaders, behind national CIO
leaders.
The National Maritime Union only Saturday sounded
a splendid call to its sister unions in the Congress of
Industrial Organizations. The N suggested to Clio
President Philip Murray that he call a national congress
for peace. We must support such q call. We must start
an organizing drve for peace.
