Meany Appeals
For q Re-Unifed
Labor Movement
Secretary Treasurer Also
Urges Planning at Once
For Postwar Needs

Uniondale, N. Y.-Proclaiming the
readiness of the American Federation
of Labor to do it's full part, George
Meany, secretarytreasurer of the A.
F. of L., appealed in a Labor Day ad-
dress for the restoration of unity in
the labor movement in this country.
Mr.. Meany, whose address was broad
cast nationally by the Columbia
Broadcasting System, was the princi-
pal speaker at the unveiling of a
statue of the late Samuel Gompers.
"The need for labor unity is greater
today than ever BEFORE" Mr.. Meany
said. "The need for unity in a period
of postwar economic stress is so OBJ
vious that no comment upon it is nec-
essary. There never has been sound
trade union reason for divided labor
movement. There is no such reason
today.
"The American Federation of Labor
is ready and waiting today, as it has
been since the start of this contro-
versy, to continue it's efforts to COM
pose the differences that have caused
LlllS ulVlSlOn.
Mr.. Meany warned against the as
sumption that the boom now under
way in defense centers will be perma-
nent. He said that the time will come
when the huge defense plants will be
shut down, and he urged planning now
to avert another depression, which he
said otherwise would be even worse
than the last one.
"The American Federation of Labor
believes that this catastrophe can be
avoided-but only if something is
done about it now. If we wait until a
new and more terrible economic COL
lapse has actually taken place, it will
be too late. The American Federation
Of Labor declares that the time to pre-
pare is the present. And to meet this
situation the American Federation of
Labor has simple proposal. We urge
that a planning agency be established
Immediately upon which labor, agri-
culture, 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 plannig agency should be to de-
wise practical program to keep the
wheels of industry turning and Amer
ican workers working after the war
ends.
"Today we are concentrating upon
production for national defense, and
it is sound common sense that we
should be focusing all our energies

ing Saturday; Templeton
Runs For Sheriff

Trenton, n. J.-Local Union No. Is
held its regular meeting Friday at
the close of very hot and humid
day which may be the reason why
only few faithful members were out
Another reason may have been that
we were conserving our energies for
the extra days race on the morrow
Don't fail to tell US who won-Ed. }
A motion was passed that our two
secretaries Elijah Watson and Lance
Ansell represent the local at the
luncheon meeting on September 13
regarding the n B. of o. P. insurance
plan. This meeting has been arranged
and will be presided over by Vice
President E. L. Wheatley.
The primary election in Hunterdon
County will take place next Tuesday
and we would urge all our members
and friends in that county to do all
they can to put over the candidacy of
Brother Ross Templeton for sheriff
1t is not often that we have a faith
full leader of organized labor running
for office, SO let Us make the most of
this opportunity and do all in our
power to make sure of his election
regardless of our political affiliation
We were greatly encouraged by the
successful termination of the Kokomo
incident and feel that all fair manu-
facturers will rejoice with US that our
government is against all underhand
practices.
Brother John Waiter was a welcome
visitor at the shop during the past

"You know in your hearts that your
future also depends upon a victory
over nazism. 1t is acknowledged that
victory depends upon overwhelming
supplies of all forms of war ma
terial.
"Surely the working people will not
allow any disunity in their own ranks
to hinder final victory over this mon
ster who would destroy them. There
must then be united effort, mutual
sacrifice and unremitting production
if we are to share in victory and then
join in the great task Of world re-
construction.

and an assurance that l have an en-

ping bombs. British warships took
up positions and opened up ter
rife barrage from the sea, while
British ground artillery sent over
whitening cross-fire that enyelop-
ed Tobruk in a vertitable blanket
OF high explosives.
Into this inferno the British i'm
perial troops advanced, smashing
Italian machine gun nests and ar
tillery batteries just as they did
before Bardia was captured.
Before the sun rose the first
strong Italian outposts were taken
and the stream OF Italian prisoners
already began struggling behind the
new British lines.
Once inside the outer perimeter.
the British had eight miles OF
Broken countryside to cross. They
charged over this area and Tuesday
night the battle was still raging,
with the fate OF Tobruk all bl,
sealed.
