GREEN RAPS ANTI
LABOR STAND OF
AMERICAN LEGION

CHICAGO FP) Sparks flew at the
American Legion Convention when AL
Pres. william Green challenged Legion
Commander Warren H. Anterior to his
face on his anti-labor fulfinations.
Citing praise of labor's war record by
Pres. Roosevelt, Gen. Eisenhower, WPB
lD,e ..lr Nelson and others, Green re-
minded legionnaires of "one surprising
omission" Search high and low he
said. "the workers of our country could
not find a single expression Of this kind
from any qualified spokesman for the
American Legion. And they remember
quite well that in time past, when a
great clamor arose in the press and the
radio against labor, condemnatory state
ments from legion representatives were
plentiful and prominent
Atherton MADE no comment when
Green finished. The labor chief how
ever was frequently applauded by legion
aires when he spoke Of labor's determin-
alton to continue to no-strike pledge
until unconditional surrender when he
reminded them that labor had backed
the CT bill of rights, and when he as
serted that many unions are throwing
their membership open to returning vet
Grams without payment Of initiation fees.
Green also rang the bell when he
pledged labor's aid in the rehabilitation
Of wounded veterans, even if we have to
do it ourselves"
Green cited 36,5OO workers who died
in action in the production army in
factory. mine and mill since Pearl Har-
Dor. and 212,SO0 who have been perman-
emily disabled and 4,681 900 injured.
The ALL president declared no one
would have security in postwar America
unless there was full employment.
Union labor legionaires %countered the
whitewash Of Rep. Hamilton Fish, fascist
friend, by convention bigshots when they
introduced a resolution calling o n the
legion to condemn Gerald L. K. Smith,
America First party leader.
The resolution, introduced by Detroit
legion posts, was referred to committee.
Members of the Natl. Conference of
Labor L~egionaires met with Green to
work cut a labor program for returning
veterans. Faced with Selective Service
Chief Lewis Hershey's ruling that re-
turning veterans have absolute priority
to Jobs, labor legionaires are urging ALL
CLIO and railroad brotherhood heads to
confer on a program that will give justice
to veterans on both the fighting and pro-
duction fronts.
Charles Vencil Of Los Angeles chair
man of the labor conferences urging
labor -legionaires to push a program for
veteran rehabilitation. In Los Angeles
he told Federated Press, such a labor re-
Mobilization program is being financed
by 1876 unions. with a fulltime director.
Part Of the program involves recipro-
cal agreements among unions in which
for example. a building trades worker
who has lost an arm or leg is given train
ing and a job which he can handle such

COMPANY PRESS
TURNING PINK

The Helena daily paper and the Bill
ings daily, and the other company-own-
ed papers, carried front page articles
from Lewistown that the selection Of
Lester Lobe, as chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, was
dictated by Jerry ]. O'Connell, over the
opposition Of regular Democrats. We
wonder what wise men in Lewistown
conceived this idea or whether it was a
Pigment Of the imagination Of the papers
that created this colossal falsehood. We
have it from those in attendance that
Mr.. Lobe was the choice Of the state
candidates and that Mr.. O'Connell had
absolutely no part in the selection. Fur
thermore, a more logical selection could
not have been made. Lobe has never
been accused of being a radical. He is
one of the prominent lawyers of the
state, has served several terms in the
legislature, being floor leader, is o
president of the Helena Chamber Of
Commerce and is past National President
of the Fraternal order Of Eagles.
This alleged domination was emphas-
lied by having the photographs of these
two men prominently displayed on the
front page. The undoubted intention
was TO leave the impression that these
two men got together in Lewistown at
THE Democratic State convention and
O'Connell forced the convention to &C
cept Lobe. This was the general i'm
preston made on every one contacted.
The facts are that Mr.. O'Connell was
in Seattle, had been out Of Montana for
some weeks, and was not within 700
miles Of Lewistown. When this fact vas
made known, Republicans as well as
Democrats characterized the charge as
dirty politics and unbecoming Of a sup
posedly respectable press. Is our daily
press trying to ape The Pink Reporter, %
which wa generally condemned? The
Pink Reporter usually took a mite Of
truth anda built around it a mountain Of
error. The Loble-O Council article is not
based upon a scintilla Of truth but is out
Of the whole cloth maliciously false.
It j. apparent that the sole purpose Of
the article is to smear the Democratic
ticket, and particularly Judge Left Erick-
son, nominee for governor, because the
Political Action Committees in Montana,
composed of the A. +. L., C. l.. o., r. R.
Brotherhoods and Farmers Union, en-
dorsed most of that ticket. In all their
TRADES against the c. l.. o. and Sidney
Hillman they neglect to inform the pub
lie that the c. I. o. four years ago en-
dorsed Governor Ford, whom these pap
ers are now supporting. 1t was the sup
port of the c. 1. o. and other labor or
carnations that elected Mr.. Ford as
governor just as they are going to elect
Judge Erickson this year. The unfair
tactics. devoid of truth, adopted by the
company press can have but n effect
that Of disgusting fair minded people re-
gardless of party affiliations.
There is the same demand for honesty
and decency in politics as there is in
personal and business relations. our
press has the grave responsibility Of Civ
ing the public the news and the truth
Failing in this, it does and should forfeit
public esteem and sink into the pina
