STATE FEDERATIONs OF LABOR

WE are constantly reminded of the need for our
state federations, and the good work they are
doing. For the past or 3 years we have been de-
MED the privilege of holding our annual sessions,
but now that the war is over, we notice that many
federations are holding their sessions.
Many and complex are the issues that con-
front the laboring people at this time, and much
good is being derived out of these belated sessions
They are an opportunity to renew old friendship
and with the experience learned the hard way,
will enable us to formulate programs for the work
we have to do in the near future.
The coming of peace, with the aftermath of
the war, has created situation that demands
clear thinking and careful planning for the future.
Congress is still in session and there are
many questions before them that need our atten-
ton. In no better way can we carry our message
to them than through the state declarations.
Every subordinate lodge of every internation-
al should affiliate with the state federation as
in this way you can lend your voice and wisdom
in formulating plans for the future of labor in
your own state as well as nationally.
The voice of labor can be heard in most sub
stantial way through the state federations, and
we owe it to ourselves to be part of the program
for the future welfare of labor

until "the Senate has had chance to vote on IT,
This is the first time the influential Southern
Regional Conference, which, under it's constitu-
ton, may not endorse specific legislation, has gone
so far toward advocating federal action to abolish
the poll tax.
Following is the text of the resolution:
''Whereas, The House Of Representatives has
passed the bill to abolish the poll tax as a pre-
requisite for voting in federal elections, and
''Whereas, A majority of the Senators have
committed themselves to writing to vote for this
BILL when it comes before the Senate, and
''Whereas, There is now no question about
the desire of Congress to pass the BILL but merely
one of whether democracy in this country will be
frustrated by a filibuster, we are therefore
Resolved, To urge upon President Truman,
Senator Barkey and all of our elected representa-
tives in Congress to prove to the people OF this
country and to the world that democracy can work
in this country, by holding II. r. before the Sen
ate until the Senate has had chance to vote upon

WE STAND WITH GOVERNOR GREEN

THE Republican National Committee met in
Chicago last week. Republican Members OF
Congress submitted party platform for next con-
gressional elections 1t was very ceverly written,
so as to mean all things to all men.
1t was approved, but apparently without en-
thusiasm, and the national committee decided to
refer the whole matter to special committee
which will report later on.
Governor Dwight Green of Illinois aroused en-
thusiasm by calling on the Republican party to
state its views every voter could understand
and then fight it out with the opposition
We like that idea. We might not like the plat
form Governor Green and his associates would
draft That isn't the point For good many years
it has been said, with great deal of truth: "Po-
litical platforms are made to get in on, not to
stand on"
The result is voters pay practically no atten-
ton TO political platforms, and that's not good
thing for the country. Governor Green has the
right idea and we hope both parties will adopt
it--but we haven't the slightest idea they will.
