Go After Real Culprits,
New York CLIO Tells
General Marshall

ALBANY, N. Y.-FP)-Assailing Gen
George C. Marshall's recent statement
which has been used by anti-victory
and a~nti-labor forces to smear the patri-
otto contributions Of organized labor, to
create disunity and impair national mo-
rale," the executive board oil the New
York State Industrial Union Council de-
clared:
ut is not too late for Gen. Marshall
to repair the damage by directing his
fire against The real instigators of dis
unity-the isolationists and unrecon-
structed industrialists who cannot sub
merge their hostility to labor to the
need for victory"
In reply to Marshalls charge that
labor prolonged the war six months and
cost thousands of Allied soldiers lives
by threatening to strike in the steel and
rail industries, the state CLIO said: La
Dor is fighting, working an d giving. De
spite the provocations Of the strike-in-
citing Smith, onnally act, the failure
of Congress to stabilize u domestic wan
economy, the sharply increased costs Of
living and the freezing of wages, 97gs
of labor has c%ooperated 1909 with it,
no-strike pledge"

and welfare of workers, opposing indus
trial home work, improving workmen's
compensation legislation, supporting
minimum age standards for children and
child labor legislation, and favoring the
early return to maximum hours laws
after the war.
A number of resolutions on state labor
agencies we're submitted and favorably
received. They included the recommen-
dation that the federal government make
fuller agenries, that state labor depart
ments and federal agencies cooperate
in the enforcing of labor regulations,
that state labor departments be given
fuller control of fee charging employ
ment agencies. one controversial reso-
luton in this group dealt with HR 1900
which would extend federal aid TO state
labor commissioners for enforcement Of
health and safety rules. The Utah labor
commissioner opposed the bill claiming
87a5 of accidents we're caused by workers
themselves. However the resolution was
passed.
In summarizing his report Mr.. Lacey
stated. 1T is my opinion that the Ma
tional Conference on Labor Legislation
is an excellent forum for the exchange
of suggestions on labor legislation among
the states and a fertile source of ideas
for the CIO."

CLIO HEAD MAKES
REPORT AT MEETING
lContinued From &c ono

conference held in 1888. It was gener
ally felt that the U. s.. Department of
Labor had, by the formulation Of proper
standards and codes, greatly strength
ened the advance of labor legislation in
the various states.
1t was the unanimous conclusion of
the conference that the abandonment by
many states of safety standards for
women and children was the fruit Of
wartime hysteria, that any prior justi-
fication for such temporary abandon
ment no longer exists, and that the
states would do well to re-examine their
standards in this regard. In fact, the
conference determined that the war has
resulted in a general lowering Of labor
standards even in the case of adult male
workers and that the necessity for same
should be re-eXamined in the light Of
present experience.
The participation Of workers in health
and safety programs was discussed at
length. A resolution was adopted urg-
ing the U. S. Department of Labor to
assist trade unions in training union
officials in the specialized fields of health
and safety and to further Joint labor
management committees on health and
safety.
Vigorous argument and dissent fol-
lowed the introduction of a companion
resolution that the conference support a
bill pending in Congress which would
authorize the U. S. Department of Labor
to assist state departments of labor and
industrial commissions by permitting it
to substitute their inspection divisions.

Some representatives, particularly those
from the southern states, took this occa-
sion to defend states rights and to de-
cry the Capitalization produced by fed

the resolution was adopted by a majority
Of the delegates.

form legislation is also towards centraI-
