AFL Chief Tells Davis Labor Losing Faith In Boards
Fairness; Use of WLB Is Opposite of Intention
When Drawn Up and Agreed to By Labor

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green sharply castigated
public and industry members of the
National War Labor Board for issu-
ing statements prejudicial to labor's
interests which ''have increased grow
ing lack of confidence; in the Board.
Statements such as these" Mr..
Green said, make it increasingly diff
ficult for labor to participate in the
work of the National War Labor
Board"
In letter to WLB Chairman Will
liam H. Davis, Mr.. Green particularly
expressed resentment over the follow
ing declaration by Davis and Public
Members Graham and Taylor:
"The weeks which lie ahead will be
crucial period for organized labor.
Legislative sanctions more thorough
going than now exist may be required
unless organized labor itself demon
strates from now on it's determination
to accept the bitter with the sweet
and to comply with the orderly pro-
cesses of government which have been
set up to cope with wartime condi-
tions."
Mr. Green promptly retaliated that
the American Federation of Labor
and itc affi1iatac have "coopera r cd
fully" with the WLB that they have
accepted more bitter than sweet, .
that they have kept their no-strike
pledge and that there was not the
slightest justification for ill-consid-
cred statements which can only incite
labor's enemies to seek more repres-
sive legislation.
On receipt of Mr. Green's letter, the
public members who signed the orig
inal statement hastened to inform the
press that they were not complaining
about labor's past record but were
worried about the future. Since their
first statement was issued in justif-
cation of their approval of the new
contract entered into by Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and the United
Mine Workers Union, it was felt that
they had sought to cover up their own
discontinue over the outcome of the
coal case by blasting all of labor.

DEMAND UNION LABEL
ON MAIL COURSES

cover a billion dollars of union
earned money has been paid to cor
respondence schools by members of
labor unions," said l. NJ Ornburn,
Secretary Treasurer, Union Label
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor, in a statement
wherein he urged members of all la
Dor unions who are taking CORE
spondence or home study courses of
instruction to demand the Union La
bel on all lessons, textbooks and other
literature. He also urged them to de-
mand the union services of members
Of labor unions for all personnel in
these educational institutions.
Mr.. Ornburn said that his attention
had been called to the fact that in the
past members of A. F. of L. unions
have paid over $3,000,000 in tuition
fees to one school. He stated that he
did not desire to have his announce
ment construed as an endorsement of
correspondence schools but as an in
dictment against all responsible
schools that discriminate against
union men and do not display the
Union Label
Mr.. Ornburn concluded by empha-
sizing that every member who is now
taking course in correspondence
school should Immediately write to his
respective institution and demand the
Union Label on lessons, textbooks and
all literature, and also demand that
all services be performed by members
of trade unions.

HANNAH HOPES
PRINTERS WILL
RETURN TO AFL

olumbus.-Hope that members of
the Internatio ional Typograph-
cal Union would vote to return to the
American Federation of Labor was
expressed by Phil Hannah, Secretary
Treasurer of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor, this week
The Typographical Union will hold
nationwide referendum November
80 on the question of re-affiliation
with the AFL. The AFL has indicted
that the Unions former autonomous
status will be restored if re-affiliation
is voted.
Hannah, in a communication to
printers locals throughout Ohio, ex-
pressed concern over the postwar pc
riod, and suggested that close Labor
unity would play an important part
in combating problems which may
prove vital to all workers.
SIN years past" the communica-
tion said, members of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union have
played an especially important part
in the organizing and development of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
and many printers have worked and
sacrificed to help build Ohios great
Labor movement
Because of this, the Ohio State
Federation of Labor is extremely anx-
ious that Typographical Unions once
more become affiliated to the end that
we may once more work together for
the best interests of Ohio Labor.
therefore, | extend the greetings
of the Ohio State Federation of La
bor with the hope that favorable
outcome will result in your referen-
dunn"
The A. F. of L. helped to make the
printers a successful organization
when in trouble years ago, and they
should not forget the goose.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). "A
statement by public members of the
National Labor Relations Board that
the Government may require more
powers to compel unions to comply
with orders of federal agencies drew
prompt and vigorous protest n m
President William Green of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
In letter to Chairman William H.
Davis of the board, President Green
said that statements such as those
made by the public members and by
four industry members, in Nov. IL
release, make it increasingly difficult
for labor to participate in the work
of the National Labor War Board"
Statement Held Unjustifed
Green told Davis that the state
ments are "unjustifiable" and added:
''You and your associates have rem
dered a great disservice to labor and
to the public through publication of
said expressed opinions"
The statement to which Green par
ticularly objected was:
"The weeks which lie ahead will be
crucial period for organized labor.
Legislative sanctions more thorough
going than now exist may be required
unless organized labor itself demon
strates from now on its determination
to accept the bitter with the sweet,
and to comply with the orderly pro-
cesses of government which have been
set up to cope with wartime condi-
tions."
Blanket Indictment" Seen
Green interpreted the statement as
an indictment" of all labor and de-
clared that "it states through impli-
cation at least that it (labor) has
failed in the discharge of its duty
The AFL head asserted that this
was not true and said that labor has
kept its pledges and cooperated fully
with the WLB.
I'm the light of this statement" +"
Green asked Davis, chow can you
and your associate public members of
the board expect labor to continue to
participate in the work of your board
with feeling of trust and condolences
in its integrity, its fairness and its
obligation to give labor a square
deal?"
Green also took sharp exception to
a statement by four industry mem
bers of the WLB supporting legisla-
tion ito require responsibility of
unions and to provide additional pro-

Green Makes Vigorous Protest Against
WLB Members Statement Presaging
Stand for More Drastic Labor Laws
Union Withdrawal From Board Hnted; Misuse of Power
Is Presently Permitted; Hold-the-Line One Sided
With Only Wages Being Held; Prices Soar

lection for workers, employers and
the public against those who misuse
the power presently permitted"
Unrepresentative, Green Says
Charging that the employer mem
bers "call for force and compulsion
toward labor through the enactment
of compulsory legislation" Green said
he was confident "they do not repre-
sent the sentiment of employers gen.
orally, for if they ask for forceful
and compulsory legislation against
labor, labor could ask in return for
forceful and compulsory legislation
against industry"
After reading Green's statement,
the three public WLB members, said
their question as to governmental
authority over unions referred to fu-
ture issues and had no bearing on past
or current controversies.
sOrganized labor, except for the
United Mine Workers, has had an ex-
cellent record on its patriotic cooper
alton with management for all-out
production and it's acceptance of war
controls" they said, adding that John
l.. Lewis defnance of the WLB should
not be followed by other unions.
