GIFT TO WAR RELIEF
RAISES LABORS
COMMUNITY STAND

New York City-Labor Day finds
the organized la Dor movements
standing in the community higher
than ever, despite a minority chorus
of anti-labor complaints from the
reactionary press, declared George
Meany, honorary secretary of the La
Dor League for Human Rights, Of
ficial relief arm of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
A good part of the credit for this
achievement is due to the AFL's out
standing contribution to the cause of
war relief, Mr. Meany said, since in
the past two years AFL members
have donated nearly $70,000,000 to
Community War Chests and the Red
Cross for relief work at home and
abroad.
Included in this $70,000,00 figure
is the cost of maintaining labor's own
war relief program, series of special
projects for aid to workers in the
Allied countries of Europe and Asia.
In the past twelve months labor's own
program, which is carried out in CO.
operation with the war relief societies
of the National War Fund, has in
cluded such projects as feeding fam
inc victims in India, establishing vo-
cational schools, child welfare centers
and workers rest houses in China,
supplying medical equipment for the
workers of Palestine, both Jewish and
Arab, and maintaining merchant sea-
mems homes in Britain for sailors Of
all the United Nations.
For the coming year, labor's pro-
gram of relief overseas has been
broadened to cover aid to refugees of
occupied countries including France,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Bel
gium, Holland and Luxembourg. This
aid will be extended under the general
supervision of outstanding represen-
tatives of the free democratic trade
union movements of the occupied
countries. A relief project for Italy
is planned for the year beginning Oc-
tober 1.
The AFL's campaigns in support of
the Red Cross have also been of out
standing value, Mr.. Meany pointed
out In addition to contributing
funds, AFL members have been OF
immense aid in helping to maintain

LABOR RESOLVED TO WIN
THE PEACE
By William Green

War has required the American
people TO make harsh and heavy sac
rifices. The coming of peace may like
wise invoke temporary hardship until
the problems of adjusting industry
and production to new economic con-
ditions are met.
But the workers of America will
face the challenge of the future as
they have responded to the impact of
WARMTH their heads held high and
their spirit undaunted by any difficult
ties that may impede the march of
achievement.
For the vision we see ahead is too
glorious to be obscured by discourage
ment or delay. And we are resolved
that our hard work and our PRAYERS
and our constant faith will win the
peace just as surely as we are win
ming the war.

THE PEACE OF GOLD
(From the New Leader)

rom IIc lNcW ACduClJ
In a speech before the American
Academy of Arts and Letters. Archi-
bald MacLeish, librarian of Congress,
voiced intense dissatisfaction with the
way allied war aims are being defined.
MacLeish, who was one of the most
vocal in advocating American partici-
patton in the war and denouncing as
"the Irresponsible" the men who Gre
ated inter-war cynicism, now states
that:
"The peace we will make, the peace
we seem to be making, will be a peace
of oil, a peace of gold, a peace OF
shipping-a peace, in brief, of factual
situations, peace without moral pur-
pose or human intent, a peace OF
dicker and trade about the facts of
commerce, the facts of banking, the
facts of transportation, which will lead
us where the treaties made by dicker
and trade have always led"

PECLERS LOSS OF JOB
RESULT OF PUBLIC
OPINION HANNAH

Columbus-A victory for decency
and honesty in presentation of edi
torial comment was seen last week as
the Scripps- Howard newspaper an
nounced severance of their contract
with labor-baiting columnist West
brook Pegler
Phil Hannah, secretary-treasurer OF
the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
hailed the publishers action not so
much as triumph for organized la
Dor as for the forces of outraged
public opinion.
"The action of the ScrippsHoward
papers, in discontinuing Pes e +
doesn't mean that their editorial slant
has suddenly become pro-labor" he
said. "It would be naive to believe
that. 1t means simply that public
clamor against Pegler's unfair tao
tics has been so great as to force the
papers to dispense, with the service
at the pain of losing more circulation.
''The mouthings of Mr.. Pegler have
become obnoxious to fair minded citi-
zens. Instead of attempting to swing
public opinion against individuals, he
sought to direct it against the entire
trade union movement.
"He spoke only to discredit labor
and had not one good word to say for
our unions and union members who
are vital assets to our democracy"

ANTI-UNION LIE BLASTED

The lie that American soldiers are
anti-union "a lie that has been as
siduously cultivated by writer's in the
daily press = has been blasted to
smithereens by labor representatives
back from a tour of the battlefields
of France.
Six union men, representing the A.
F. of l.. and C. /. O., agreed that while
the soldiers didn't like the idea of war
time strikes, they were not anti-union
and recognized what organized labor
has done to make America great. The
report of the labor leaders was based
on talks with soldiers at the front.
This is not really news; American
soldiers were not anti-union before
they put on the uniform and there is
no reason to believe that their mil
itary service has changed their view
point. Yet many editorial writer's and
commentators have done their best to
spread the idea that the contrary is
the case. And undoubtedly they will
continue their efforts to convince the
nation that Uncle Sans fighters are
enemies of unionism.

AFL LAUNCHES
GET OUT THE VOTE
MEMBER DRIVE

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor launched ma
tion-wide drive to get out the vote to
it's seven million members in the No
vember election.
AFL President William Green or
dered the establishment of almost a
thousand state and local partisan
political committees in every part of
the country to see to it that Fedora
tion members register in accordance
with state laws and that they go to
the polls to cast their ballots on cleo
ton day.
Each of the 900 city central labor
unions affiliated with the AFL and
the State Federations of Labor in
every state, as we'll as in Alaska and
Puerto Rico, was directed by Mr..
Green to set up committees to get
out the vote.
"These committees" Mr.. Green said
in a circular letter of instructions,

and to the nation. If labor partici-
pates fully in the election, labor and
the friends of labor can win.
II urge State federations of labor
and city central bodies to continue to
the non-partisan political policy of the
American Federation of Labor in the
appointment of committees for the
purpose of bringing about registra-
tion of full vote at the polls. Re-
ject any and all appeals to become
partisan or to become identified with
political organizations. We cannot

THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with our Little Hatchet We tell
the truth about many things, sometimes
profoundly, sometimes aippantly. some
times recklessly.

It is regrettable that we probably
shall have to begin working out the
economy Of peace while a political
campaign is raging.
We can neither prepare properly in
advance, nor take the first steps with
out battle of partisan chickering's.
The end of the German war will
mark the beginning of the peace.
When the Japanese war ends, what
remains Of our war economy will
simply fit, as best it can, into a pat
tern already fairly well set.
Today the administration walks
more or less softly, perhaps fearing
that whatever it does will be marked
down as error by sharp-eyed op-
position.
Both sides in Congress seem to fear
creating an issue-and so do nothing,
or do botch jobs.
Nobody seems to realize that here,
as has happened before, boldness in
the interests of the people might be
so refreshing as to cause tidal wave
Of support.
It is difficult to believe that the
American people are other than lib
eral, in the best sense of that term.
It is difficult to believe, too, that
they are foolish or can be led by those
who think foolishly or feebly.

WISDOM

The immense number of property
less wage earners on the one hand,
and the super-abundant riches OF the
fortunate few on the other, is an un-
answerable argument that the earthly
goods so abundantly produced in this
age of industrialism are far from
rightly distributed and equitably
shared among the various classes OF
men.-Pope Plus XI.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-09-08

It is no time for quibbling or for
carefulness in the face Of petty fears.
Above all, it is not time to be
partisan for the sake of being par
tisan.
Whoever is partisan for the sake of
being partisan should be rebuked and
cast aside, as proof that the nation
has unity, that it has understanding,
that it has in truth outgrown infantile
ways and the fears Of economic and
political childhood. Let's get going,
strong and not too much afraid of do
ing right. - C. M W..
