Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green appealed to all AFL
affiliates to give financial support to
fund being raised to help the Com
mercial Telegraphers Union win the
collective bargaining elections among
$4,000 Western Union employees to
be held between Jan. 2 and Jan. 10.

Quoted by the NLRB.
Mr.. Green pointed out that the
Executive Council and the AFL Con-
vention authorized this appeal be-
cause the expenses incurred in wag-
ing nationwide election campaigns
will be extremely heavy.
"We can wni this election for the
American Federation of Labor if suf-
ficient funds are made available in
order to meet the cost and expenses
of said election campaign" Mr.. Green
said in a circular letter.
At the recent AFL convention, the
International Association of Machin-
lists announced that it would make a
cash contribution to the CTU cam
paign and other unions indicated,
through their representatives, that
they would follow suit in order to
help the AFL union win it's vital
struggle with a rival CIO unit. Con-
demnation for the NLRB's action in
splitting the election into seven re-
gional units was widely expressed.

America Needs MIRA Spirit,
SAYS Truman

81 have known this group since
June a, 1889, when / read message
from the President to the national
mass meeting for Moral Re-Arma-
ment in Constitution Hall, Washing
ton. / was struck at that time by the
clarity with which they saw the
danger threatening America, and the
zeal and intelligence with which they
set about rousing the country -.
"I wish The Forgotten Factor and
the war revue You Can Defend
Defend America could be seen by
workers and executives alike in every
war plant in the country. There is not
a single industrial bottlneck l can
think of which would not be broken
in a matter of weeks if this crowd
were given the green light to go full
steam ahead.
"We need this spirit in industry.
We need it in the nation. For if
America doesn't catch this spirit, we
will be lucky to win the war, and GER
tain to lose the peace. With it there
is no limit to what we can do for
America, and America for the world"

toned report on MRA's war service
which was sent to every internationa
union by four members of the AL
Executive Council.
How little regard the responsible
and informed leadership of American
labor pays to such attempts to smear
MIRA, was shown when on May IA,
1914, Mr.. Green, Mr. Murray, and
WPB Vice-Chairman clinton S.
Golden joined other national leaders
in sponsoring the Washington prem

World Labor Support
A message from Labor Prime Min
lister John Curtin told of the aid of
the MIRA program to war production
in his country. Thirteen officials of
British mineworkers' unions cabled:
eve have found from our own expert
ence in difficult days tha spirit of
Moral Re-Armament is a most effec-
tive force for building teamwork in
industry. We look to it to create the
atmosphere in which postwar prob
lens will be solved for benefit of all
men,"
Deputy Prime Minister Walter
Nash of New Zealand, President OF
the International Labor Conference,
said after the presentation of the
MIRA drama:
"If we are determined to walk
along the road the men and women
showed US tonight, the sacrifice of the
war will be worthwhile, and we will
build something better than ever built
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1944-12-28

before. There is no other way to a
better world than that depicted to us
tonight"
People today have an uneasy feel
| ing that no lasting answer can be
found in new pacts, treaties and sys-
TENS, unless a new spirit grips the
world. Experiences of broken prom
ises, of fruitless conferences begin
ming in high hopes and ending in dis
illusion, are forcing people to the con-
clusion that only as men change will
nations change, and only upon that
solid foundation can new world be
built.
Hope OF Millions
BY actually changing men and their
motives, MIRA is succeeding where
human diplomacy fails. That is why
labor men everywhere are hopefully
looking to MIRA in1945 as they watch
its growing impact on the thinking
and living of millions and their
leaders.
MRA's program of "New men -
nations-a new world" is not only
expressing what people feel deep
down in their hearts, but is demon
strating it at work in the lives of
people across the world The chal-
lenge is to everyone-to the states
man and the ordinary man in every
nation-"If you want to see the world
different, the best place to start is
with yourself"
1t is in this battle for the Moral
Re-Armament of the nations that
every union member can play dis
tinctive part and make labor ths
greatest force for world reconstruc-
tion. He can carry on this fight every
day in home, union, plant, and COM
nunity, and set the pace for the
statesman in building a hate-free,

Delegates, composed of labor COM
missioners and union representatives
from AZ states, condemned anti-labor
laws in many states and urged that
they be repealed.
Laws Held Attack On Labor
"Under the guise of regulation IN
the public interest, these laws are an
attack on organized labor and the
principle of collective bargaining for
which this conference stands" the re-
port charged.
On the subject of an annual wage,
the conference asked the U. S. Labor
Department to study the experience
of companies which have set up such
systems and declared that the expert
ence Of progressive management over
a period of years had shown "the
value of guaranteed annual wage in
maintaining the stability of employ
ment and purchasing power for the
products of industry"
In recommending Capitalization of
labor functions, the conference en-
dorsed the recommendations of Secre-
tary Of Labor Perkins that all federal
labor functions, except those under
the jurisdiction of the Railway Labor
Act, be consolidated in the Depart
ment Of Labor.
Better Security System Asked
