It should not be assumed that Truman's record as a Senator was perfect. He did vote against labor orl infrequent occasions, but these omissions were more than overbal- anced by his generally cooperative position. It was therefore no sur- prise that leaders of the American Federation of Labor strongly SUD- ported him for the nomination as Vice President during the Democra- tic National Convention in Chicago last summer.
 Perhaps Truman's strongest claim to labor'S loyalty results from the marvellous record he made as chair man of the Senate War Investigat- ing Committee. In it's third annual report, made public year ago, this committee warmly praised labor's contributions to the war effort and silenced labor's critics with facts. Referring to 1abor's production achieemvents, the report said:
 ''The job that has been done not only assures that victory will be won, but it assures that it will be won more quickly and with fewer casualties. Our armed forces have more and better equipment than our foes.
 "Unquestionably there have been excesseS which are subject to the severest condemnation. However, we must not allow these excesses to obscure the fact that, on the whole, the performance of labor has been very good.
 Strikes receive a very great amount of attention in the press be- cause of their dramatic character and news value and because the public properly resents these viola tions of labor's pledge not to ob- struct the war effort by striking. However, strikes in 1943 resulted

of Max Zaritsky is his constant search for new avenues of service and new paths of endeavor for the labor movement. His concept of our organization is not static one. He believes in organized labor as dynamic force which must forge ahead toward progress = progress not only for the workers, but for our nation as a whole. Let me say that I subscribe Wholeheartedly to those views"
 MT. Green also recalled that strong pressure was eXerted upon MT. Zaritsky to join the CIO when it was formed. He continued:
 But when the test came, he evaluated the difference between principle and policy. He searched his mind and his conscience, as all of US must do in the moment of decision, and he realized that the basic principles of loyalty and democracy were all important. He decided to stay in the organization and to fight out his battles within the organization rather than out side. He found that unity comes first
 Since then Max Zaritsky has taught that lesson to others. He has rendered invaluable service to the American Federation of Laobr in persuading some of those who left us to come back home. Those who

establish an enduring and prosper ouS peace. To accomplish success fully these heavy tasks, he has asked for and must receive the help of united America.
 There can be no united America without a united labor movement. Thus fate offers labor the oppor- tunity of a lifetime to act and act now, to unite and unite now, for the realization of the great goals which will bring incalculable benefits to humanity in this and in future gen. erations throughout the world. We dare not fail
 Discussing the effects of labor dis unity, MT. Green declared:
 ''Disunity split the ranks of or ganized labor in America 10 years ago and today the breach is still un- healed. Those of us who look ahead and are concerned with the welfare of the nations workers can see grave dangers looming as the result of the division in the labor move ment. When the war ends and the problems of reconversion face us, the great trade union movement which has been built up over three quarters of century of struggle and sacrifice may be shaken to its foundations by the impact of events At that time, more than ever before, we will need the strength that can come only from unity if we hope to preserve and extend labor'S gains.
 T know there are those who have resigned themselves to the existence of two dual labor movements in America. They may even try to con- vince you that no serious harm to labor will result. But they are ut terly and completely wrong. I will never rest until labor is once again united into a single, all-poWerful trade union movement in America. I will never cease to explore every possible avenue to reach that ob- jective."
 MT. Green paid high tribute to MT. ZaritSky, whose sixth birthday was being celebrated at the dinner. He said:
 "Oue of the impressive attributes

in loss of manpower of Jess than oue-fourth of one per cent of the manpower actually used, whereas the manpower contributed by labor in that period exceeded that used In 1899 by 76 per cent"
 The Truman report declared that the government and management must take their share of the reSpon- sibility for strikes which occurred It also called upon the government to adopt a clear and understandable labor policy, administered by 8 single, central agency instead of the multiple bureaus now handling la- bor matters.
 These conclusions fully endorsed the official policy of the American Federation of Labor.

Anti-UniOn Legislators
 Are Beaten

The anti-1abor legislators In Connecticut and in other states, no doubt, are very sad today. Amongst these legislators in our area is Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, Democrat, who voted for the Labor Draft, called by a good unionist, the Slave Labor Act. This was Mrs. Wood- houses first time to vote on major legislation. The defeat of the draft measure in Washington was the of- ficial death knell to the miniature labor draft which was set up as a shining example and pet project in New Bedford, Mass. The war manpoWer commissioner has an- nounced the abandonment of all attempts to force workers out of the New Bedford Textile Mills in- to the Tire Cord Plant.
 The reason given for this was that the textile industry is now a more important industry. But if the truth were only admitted, it could be termed or summed up as a failure in creating propaganda for the enactment of labor draft legislation.
 This should prove conclusive1y to our whole labor front that democ- racy is still a vitamin Al word in the United States of America.

New York City - AFL President William Green declared labor has the opportunity of lifetime" now to reunite it's ranks and help Presi- dent Truman establish an enduring and prosperous peace.
 Speaking at testimonial dinner to Max Zaritsky, President of the United HatterS. Cap and Millinery Workers Union, MT Green said:

Truman'S Fine Stand on Labor Matters Revealed by His Public Record

How does President Harry S. Truman stand on Iaborf Let the record speak
 His record United States Senator shows deep and sympathetic interest in the problems of labor He voted for most of the key advanced by the Roosevelt Administration for the advancement of labor and responded many calls from the American Federation of Labor for help when labors rights endangered
 One highly significant indication of his attitude to- labor the that in the last session of Congress he lent his sponsor of the KigoreTruman bill to protect human needs in the reconversion program This defeated but may be confidently expected that President of the United States he will recommend to Congress that such legislation be enacted to protect the workers of the nation from the ravages of unemployment during reconversion.

Trade Unionists In France Seek

Say Relation BetweenL Labor And The State Must
 Be Settled

The French General Confederation of Labor (CGT) is calling for the election of an assembly to frame a constitution for a fourth republic, Allied Labor NeaUs reports from Paris. The resistance movement wants to wash away all traces of the third republic, founded in 1871 and ended in 1940 with the equalization of France Commenting on the CGTs demand, Louis Sai1lant, secretary of the CGT and leader of the Natl. Council of the Resistance, said:
 "When in March l944 the OCT gave it's support to what was after. wards called the program of the Natl. Resistance Council, this was no mere formality. We promised then that a new republic would be founded that would restore to our popular and democratic institution the efficacy they had lost owing to the corruption and treason leading to the equalization and we main tain that pledge.
 "We trade unionists realize that the French constitution must settle the question of relations between trade unionism and the state. We want a democratic state that will give full freedom of organization to the unions"
