We realize that with the close of the

will have to find jobs. This will come
at time when our military forces will
be going through Il process of demo

Lasting Peace Requires Jobs For All,
SAYS VIM. Green In Labor Day Statement
Labor
Can Point With
Pride ToRecord

On this. the third Labor Day since
the jap sneak attack on Pearl Harbor
catapulted our nation into war with
the Axis powers, the wage earners OF
America can point with pride to the
record which they have set in response
to our nations appeal for support from
the army of production workers of our
country in the war for the preserva-
ton of American ideals of life and
liberty.
The ever lengthening bridge of ships
which have spanned the oceans OF the
world carrying men, ammunition
planes, tanks and all other material OF
war and civilian life both for our own
country and our Allies, is testimony to
the part which has been played by the
soldiers of production who have
manned the arsenal Of democracy
called for by the President of the
United States when war began. We are
proud of our record and know that no
one can successfully challenge the sue
cess of our efforts.
1t should be remembered, further,
that the workers of America have
carried on despite many disturbing
complications which have arisen from
time to time, in spite of the problems
of constantly rising cost of living
without comparable increases in wages,
etc. But the wage earners of America
pledged full support to the attainment
of whatever goals might be set by our
government and these pledges were
given until victory" without condition
or limitation. These pledges, moreover,
will be kept no matter what personal
sacrifices may be entailed, and no re-
taxation of effort will be tolerated so
long as our services are needed by
our government for the successful
prosecution of the war.
The workers of America, however,
are looking beyond the days of actual
hostilities and are giving serious con-
sideration to the problems that will
attend the transition to peacetime
levels, for we know that unless we win
the peace we will i'm effect have lost
the WdG ItSuGufcSS VI IlllltHTy NlttOl y.
We must not let this happen. American
traditions and liberties must be pre-
served and nurtured. As mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, of the
boys who are daily offering up their
lives in combat for the preservation of
our country and our way of life, we
owe it to those boys to SO plan for the
future that our--and their-peace may
be made secure
As | understand our duty to those
vino will never come back, as well as
to those who will return to their homes
to take up their lives as civilian work
ers, we cannot limit our efforts to the
days Of actual warfare but must eX-
tend our activities to the establish
ment of Il true and lasting peace We
must exert every effort humanity pos
sible to see to ii that our nation is one
which our returning heroes will re-
gard as worth the price which has
been paid for victory--and that price

ing-out pay for our soldiers and sailors
and in addition the broadest possible
retraining facilities will be accorded
education.
American labor submits that it is
the joint responsibility of all groups of
society to do everything to restore
peace to our country-real peace and
attendant security-for without secur-
ity there can be no lasting peace Our
returning heroes both military and
production sOldiers-are entitled to be
restored to jobs at conditions and at
wages which will maintain an Ameri-
subsistence income. The representa-
tives of labor are doing all in their
power to realize this objective for we
accept as a solemn trust the respOn-
sibility for maintaining our American
way of life. The other groups of our
economic fabric must do their part
also for workers cannot do it alone.
AS the first step in postwar plan

the American Federation of Labor has

way Our basic proposals have been
incorporated i'm bill now before Con

1888, the immediate passage of which
is urged as of vital Importance.
The coming national elections are
rife with possibilities for the selection
of national and state officers who will
render the highest possible service to
our nation and to the world, especially
1t is, therefore, more than ever our
duty and our responsibility to vote for
the candidates upon whom we are will
ing to impose the trust of guiding our
national and state affairs in the com
ing months and years Theirs will be
no easy task and it will require states
manship to accomplish successfully the
work that will lie ahead
For this reason every candidate for

cial reference to the planks presented
to both the major political parties for
inclusion i'm their official party plat
forms. We should be guided by their
records of past performance and atti-
tudes and pledges toward future ques-
tions, regardless of political affiliations,
for much depends upon those who will
administer our national, state and COM
munity affairs in the era just ahead.
1t is our duty as American citizens
and as wage earnerS to vote-and to
vote for the candidates who will rem
der the greatest service to us as Il
people. The selection of those who
represent us is one of the privileges of
democratic people, one which should
be cherished and kept alive so that we
may avail ourselves of the services of

issued through its Department of the
Church and Social Service.
Jobs Seen Major Problem
Asserting that a christian society
is under sacred obligation so to or
ganize itself that everyone willing ana
able TO work may be guaranteed some
meaningful occupation" the church
body cited as ma jor problem of so
cial justice" facing America today,
that of planning adequately for the
reabsorption of millions of returning
soldiers into industry at time of
terrific adjustments incident To re-
turn TO peace time production.
"A way can be found through cons'iita-
tion and cOopera tion between manage
ment and labor to make such ADJUST
ments." declared the message, "and
mt the same time maintain production
at level that will continue 10 guar
antee full employment.
Consumers Interest Stressed
Pointing out that basic human needs
in terms Of food, clothing and adequate
housing "have never been met even IN
prosperous America the message de-
clared that the economic goal of to-
morrow's world will he the production
of more goods at lower prices for more
people" and added
"An economy, therefore, that Is
planned to serve the consumer prom
ises the greatest security, because the
differences arising between labor and
management can best be solved by a
reference away from either group To
society at large. All unite at the point
of their consumer interest
In conclusion the message declared
that although the church is not called
upon To devise schemes of social or
ganization or technical plans for in
dustry, il must manifest It's deep
concern for the spirit and motive Of

those of the group headed by Celler.
Green said the George bill is made
quate to meet the reconversion prob
lem on two main standards: Cd The
director is not given full executive re-

policies, procedures and performance
of the executive agencies coming under
his office, and CD Reconversion is an
emergency far transcending anything
contemplated by state unemployment
