gin Of the Combined Victory Com
mittee, which was set up on the
Presidents invitation In January
of this year, and includes three
representatives each from the CLIO
and the ALL. CLIO members are
President Murray, r. ]. Thomas,
president of the UAW-CIO and a
vice-president of the CLIO, and JUL
ius Emspak, secretary-treasurer OF
the Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers. Murray urges in the re-
port that representatives of the
Railroad Brotherhoods be added.
Discussion ut committee meet

sterilization, taxes, price control
and ratiOning, war production
and manpower, with the empha-
sis on the need for planning on
q national scale to bring the fuii
weight OF our resources into the
war against the Axis.
VOICE FOR LABOR
Labor has not sought represen-
tation on the various government
agencies and federal departments
charged with the responsibility of
the war program merely in order
to protect any selfish or narrow
interest,"" Murray concludes.
1.-THE formation and the work
Of the Combined Labor Victory

ment Of this objective"

Already this work on the Victory
Committee has resulted in three
concrete gains, Murray says:
/. A very wholesome cooperative
relationship between organized
labor and the President"
2. It has encouraged and devel-
oped a more widespread represen-
tation of labor in all government
agencies and departments" which
has directly aided total mobiliza-
ton of national resources;
3. A greater unity on broad war
issues between the AFL and the
CLIO, (which In turn has acted as

by the CLOS industrial unions.
A committee consisting Of Pres.
Murray, Pres. r. J. Thomas OF the
Auto Workers, and Sec.-Treas
Julius Emspak Of the United Elec-
trical, Radio & Machine Workers
was named to meet with the ALL
for further discussion Of unity pro-
posals. Its first meeting, Murray
said, us anticipated :. at an early
date following the Clio conven-
ton"
BLASTS LEWIS SABOTAGE
In his discussion of labor unity,
Pres. Murray dashed out sharply
at the leadership of the United
Mine Workers Of America. whose
connection with CLIO was formally
severed at the UMWA's recent
convention.
One of the reasons for that dis
affiliation, Murray said, was the
claim of John L. Lewis that the
CLIO had rejected his sudden unity
proposal Of last January, which
was given to the press before 1t
was shown to Pres. Murray.
'The sinister motives under1X-
ing that proposal has now been
completely exposed. The actions
and policies of that individual
have now been made clear to the
entire nation.
"They have been and continue
to be directed toward one end
disruption and disunity within
the ranks Of labor and within the
ranks Of the people Of the
nation.
Under the demagogic plea OF
unity, the President of the United
Mine Workers Of America has &C.
tually pursued a steady course OF
d!sunity through the puppet state
Of District so.
This puppet state has ut all
all times followed an ordered pol
ley Of raiding, harassment and
sabotage Of affiliates Of the CLIO,
forcing them to divert time and
attention from the essential task
Of organizing the workers Of the
nation for victory"
1.-THE most recent step taken by
the President OF the United Mine
Workers in withdrawing that or
ganization from the CLIO is part
Of that persistent policy Of disrup-
tion," the CLIO president added.

outlined in the policy which was
worked out In consultation between
representatives of the CLIO, the ALL
and the War and Navy, says Pres.
Murray's report to the convention.

" TIC AI1til NOiiNChtAOA'
His thorough-going review OF
proposals and actions In the direc-
ton Of labor unity to help carry
on the peoples war" also featured
an attack on the sinister motives
of United Mine Workers leaders
who seek disruption and disunity
within the ranks Of labor"
1.-THE approach Of the CLIO to
the question Of labor unity IL
identical with our approach to
all questions-the tOuchstone be-
ing Its effect on our nations war
Of survival" Murray said.
UNITY NEEDED
with our country and the en-
tire democratic world under the
most savage attack In our history,
national unity Of all our people for
victory Is the primary need OF the
hour.
"No consideration Of individual
or group interest can be permit
ted to divide our nations war
strength; no step toward COM
pIete working unity left UNI
taken"
1t was at an Executive Board
meeting In New York early this
year that CLIO formulated Its po-
sition and endorsed proposals for
the establishment Of a six-man
.CIO-AFI. Combined Labor Victory
Board to meet with Pres. Roosevelt
on matters of Importance to the
nations workers.
This action, we are convinced,
has made q substantial contribu-
ton to upholding our Commander
in-Chief in his war leadership and
promoting new steps towards total
mobilization and total war;" Muir
ray said.
CLOS PROPOSALS
Later, in June, he recalled, the
CLIO put forward further proposals
for binding more closely together
the interests Of all American work.
srs. Those proposals consisted Of
suggestions for:

operation between the trade
unions Of all the United Ma
tions, a must for victory over
the Axis, receives detailed at
tention in Pres. Murray's report
to the fifth CLIO convention
meeting here.
The report stresses the fact that
such international labor unity must
include all the labor movements
Of the United Nations on an equal
basis, and describes the vote OF
the CLIO Executive Board at Its
September meeting, instructing
CLIO officers to take steps toward
securing closer cooperation and
unity of action between the organ
lied workers of America, including
the CLIO, AFL and Railroad Broth
erhoods, and the trade unions OF
all the United Nations, including
the Latin-American nations"
REVIEWS TUG MOVES
This resolution, the report points
out, was based on the actions OF
the CLIO at the 1871 convention CALI
ing for close connections with free
trade union movements throughout
the world ito ensure the closest
possible cooperation Of the organ
lied workers of all countries In the
present struggle against Hitlerism."
In reviewing the history Of at
tempts at international union CO.
operation, the report describes the
moves of Sir Walter Citrine, secre-
tary of the British Trades Union
Congress, and the TUG Executive
Council In failing to extend direct
official invitation to the Clio and
the Brotherhoods to participate In
the projected Anglo American
Trade Union Committee.
Instead, the report points out,
the TUG stuck to Its position that
all such matters involving the
CLIO and the BrOtherhOods were
within the province of the ALL"
thus making the two organize
tions dependent on the AFL's
will for participation.
This, the report says, was met
with "strong disapproval," and
similar rejection Of the trade
unions Of other United Nations
was also protested by them.
MANY BENEFITS

would result from real interna-
tional union cooperation. the re-
port says: ITO achieve these ends,
