Address by Wm. Donoghue
General Chairman, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Organized labor speaks for the broad masses of people of this country, and if we are to keep the gains labor has made dur ing President Roosevelt's administra- ton, all branches of the labor move ment must work together as closely as possible.

 ''You know, you don't feel right when one of your Senators in Washington is known throughout the nation as an isOlatiOnist and Obstructionist. That, 1 regret to
