Legion Commander
Urges Facing Facts

Boston, Oct. g. (UP) National
Commander Warren H. Anterior OF
the American Legion called on dele
gates to the 63rd annual American
Federation Of Labor convention to-
day to support the Austin Wads-
worth bill to put every man, woman
and child in the service Of the coun-
try.
IF you are willing to give your
son or daughter to your country's
cause, you should be willing to give
yourself to your nations war effort
so that he or she will have q better
chance to come home" Anterior
said.
In his first major speech since
succeeding Roane Waring as legion
commander, Anterior urged dele
gates to be strong In facing the is
sues which confront them.
Because we were weak there are
thousands of crosses at Pearl Har-
boz, Casablanca, Sicily, Attu, Quad
alcanal and New Guinea; there will
be tens Of thousands more such
S4QocSo etLl0 DlAAkOllo Va NCUbo VA J1AS
backs Of generations yet unborn be-
cause We who wanted peace were
weak" he said.
Atherton scored leaders Of strikes
as well as those who participated
in them recalling that during the
first six months Of this year there
were 1855 strikes in the United
States involving 1,9T4,O00 workers.
Referring to what he termed the
rnwillingness Of labor to abide by
wage decisions, Anterior said "f
we called off the ball game every
time an umpire made q mistake
there would be no baseball"
"If we got gun and went shoot
ing everytime a policeman or q
judge was wrong there would be no
law and order" he said. Therefore
it is wrong for men to prolong the
war and cause the death Of perhaps
your son or by son because they
don't like the judges decision.
ANY man who strikes today Is
impeding the war effort. ANY man
who strikes today is giving the great
American institution of labor q
black eye"
