tllS respect.
AT time when the Communist
party in this country was sabotaging
RusSia's as we'll as Americas interest :
by staging defense strikes and fighting
our defense program, the American
Federation of Labor was supporting
without reservation the job Of prepar-
ing for war against the Axis powers.
Mr.. WOll declared. THAT was the
period of the Stalin-Htler pact, when
the Soviet Government was pursuing u
policy inimical to the interests Of Rus
Sia herself and of the anti-Allied cause
But we have let bygones be bygone-
and have worked for and supported
aid to Russia without reservation from
the very moment when Hitler's hordes
invaded that country.
Worked On Russian Relief
I'VE have worked hard for Russian
relief and we have left no stone un-
turned in the task of helping to ease
the colossal burdens that have been
borne and are still being borne by the
Russian people. We have also refrained
scrupulOusly from interfering in Rus
Sia's internal affairs. We wish We
could say the same of Moscow. The
latest Outburst of War and the Work,
ing Class constitutes another unwar-
ranted interference in the internal
affairs of the United States and of the
American labor movement"
Regarding AF'L and CIO unity, Mr.
VOL pointed out that both organiZa
ti0nS have sought to ameliOrate theil
differences for the sake of the wal
effort" and that the matter was none
of MOscOw'S business"
Moscow should be the last one tC
talk about unity of labor" Mr.. Vol
said, "fOr its agents in all countries
have done nothing but promote split.
in organized labor for more than &
| quarter of a century, and they ar.
still doing it right here in the United
! States."N
Regarding the question of organic

Russia does not imply the necessity ol
obligation of collaborating with totali

REPRESENTATIVE OF TUBERCULOSIS
ASSOCIATION COMES TO KEY WEST
TO CONFER WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS

there are many more deaths, COM
paratively, among the negroes
than among the white persons
from tuberculosis. AS an illustra
ton of that fact, she said that the
records in Dade County show that
the rate of deaths among negroes
from that disease is five to one as
compared with white persons.
Poor housing conditions are
one of the things that contribute
to the contraction of the disease,
and while white people in Key
West, in a good many Instances,
can not obtain the accornmoda-
tions they wish, the condition
among the colored people in this
community, that is, the newcom-
ers, is far more acute than among
the white.
For those and other reasons,
the local association will carry on
much educational work in proven
tive measures among local colored
people. Helping them will be help
ing the community as whole, for
tuberculosis is not only contag-
ious but also an Infectious disease.
The death rate from tuberculosis
in Florida has been reduced to Al
for every 100000 of the popula-
ton. but it would be far less than
that figure were it not for the
many deaths, among negroes.

ACTION STARTED in THREE CITIES
TODAY TOWARD PROVIDING INCREASED
COMMODITIES FOR KEY WEST PEOPLE

Mr.. Miller, in his conversation
with Mr.. Albury, said that, be-
cause of transportation and dis
tribution difficulties, it would
probably be from one week to 10
days before the full volume of eX-
ira commodities will be received
here. He added, though, that he
would hold a conference today
with the food committee in Miami
in an effort To start immediately
the amelioration of conditions in
Key West.
SO, at 5 o'clock this afternoon,
he will take up the case of Key
West with the food committee in
that city.
Mr.. Miller was so surprised by
decreased stocks in all the stores
he visited, he declared that Key
West should have made its de-
mands for more commodities at
least six months ago: Had that
been done, he added, Key West,
long since. would have been get
ting its full quota.
