Accidents impede the nations war

that the usual hazards of the season

dangers to traffic of blackouts and a

FACING THE
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

The American Federation of Labor
has enlisted for the duration of the
war.
The five million members of this
great organization are rallying to
Americas cause in way that brings
joy to the hearts of it's leaders and
welcome encouragement to President
Roosevelt and his aides in this critical
hour
There are no strikes in America to-
day. Every worker is on the job doing
his bit to back up the armed forces of
the nation in an all-out war against
the despicable and treacherous enemies
of freedom.
Labor knows its duty. 1t will do
its duty and more" President Green
predicted at the outset of hostilities.
The men and women in the rank and
file are making good this pledge
American workers are determined
"to see this fight through to a vic
torious finish at any COST" President
Green declared.
1t is up to the loyal members of the
American Federation of Labor to make
good this pledge too.
There will be costa great cost.
Labor will have to sacrifice many of
the conditions won through years of
struggle before this war is over. But,
as President Roosevelt bluntly re-
marked in his freside chat, Americans
will not regard it a sacrifice to help
their country in it's time of need, but
privilege.
1t is a privilege to work and sweat
and sacrifice for America. 1t is an
honor to help in the fight against the
miserable enemies of our freedom. Let
our slogan be-"A. F. of L. workers
will do their duty-ten times over
to SMASH JAPAN"
