Labor Supports Drive.
Organized labor placed its power
full support behind the objectives Of
the drive through statements issued
by Philip Murray, CIO president,
and William Green, AFL president.
Mr.. Murray said:
Millions of members of the CIO
manning the Nations major indus
tries from coast to coast and from
the border to the Gulf not only
devote themselves to turning out
the war goods necessary to arm our
fighting men but will do everything
in their power to provide the money
to pay for those weapons. Set your
quotas-we'u meet them. Well stand
behind you throughout the mighty
Seventh War Loan"
Mr.. Green said:
The 100000 members of the
American Federation of Labor, who
are backing up the war front with
hard work. will not hold back their
money. They will meet every war
bond quota in every plant. Our en-
tire program at the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor will respond gladly
to any call you make to help put
the Seventh War Loan drive over
the top"
Symbol of the drive will be the
now famous photograph of the flag
raising at Two Jima by Joe Rosen-

The picture will be used on thou
sands of posters to be distributed

Possible termination of the war
in Europe while the campaign is on

needed to pay for the continuing
war in the Pacific.
