rose to the occasion by voluntarily re-
linquishing the exercise of its right
to strike for the duration of the war.
Many of our enemies were not salts
fled with this action and sought to
abolish the right to strike by various
compulsory methods. We warned then
that much more could be accomplished
by free workers acting on their own
volition than by force or compulsion.
The results testify to the soundness
of our position. Since the no-strike
policy went into effect, work stoppages
for any cause have been infinitesimal.
In fact, the record of steady, uninter-
rupted hard work piled up by the six
million members of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor since Pearl Harbor
is unmatched anywhere in the eco
nomic history of any nation in the
world
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-09-04

On this critical Labor Day, let us
dedicate ourselves to doing everything
within our power to preserve the free
dom of humanity. And in that pro-
gram, we must always remember that
our freedom, the freedom of American
labor, is the keystone. Once we sur
render or are forced to yield our own
liberties, we are rendered powerless
to protect the liberties of other.
Grave responsibilities rest upon the
workers of America. They must pro-
vide a constant stream of the muni-
tions of war to our own armed forces
and those of our Allies. have every
confidence that the workers of our
country will continue to live up to
their responsibilities and to make ev-
cry sacrifice of their own free will
that is essential to victory.
At the same time, our nation owes
a responsibility to it's workers. Amer
lea must keep her workers free to keep
them strong.
Regardless of initial defeats, re-
gardless of the precarious situation OF
some of our allies, we of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor have an un-
shaken and unconquerable confidence
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1942-09-04

And that is the fundamental truth
the workers of America are proving
day in and day out in this desperate
war by the results of their toll.
We need no longer pledge that free
labor will outproduce slave labor The
workers of America are actually doing
it. They have broken every produc-
tion schedule. They are setting new
records every day. They are produc-
ing the weapons of war in hitherto
unheard-of quantities.
Yes, free labor will win! And the
American Federation of Labor is de-
termined to keep labor free so that
we may win.
Since the outbreak of war, many
short-sighted persons and selfish in
terests have been hammering at la
boris freedom and have tried by propa-
ganda to destroy the safeguards and
standards established over the years
for the protection of American work
ers by the trade union movement.
At times it appears that reaction
ary groups are more interested in
fighting labor than in fighting Hitler!
But the American Federation of
Labor has fought the false propaganda
of labor's enemies with facts and with
truth and has resisted every challenge

in the eventual triumph of our cause.
We are going to win this war and
when the fighting is over we are going
to make our victory over the forces of
hate and oppression permanent.
We are determined that when the
terms of peace are written the four
freedoms enunciated by President
Roosevelt shall be established for all
time throughout the world. And in

addition to these freedoms freedom
Of speech and religion-freedom from
want and fear-labor will insist upon
a fifth essential element to this glori-
Gus code. That is the freedom of
workers in every land to join free and

choice. This is labor's own peace plank
and no force on earth can stop us
from making it a reality
