 It its anti-Red action, the cOnven- ton sharply condemned the "can- cerOur growth of Communism and Fascism" and demanded that "faIse servants" of the Government, who lend aid and comfort to ad- vOcates of either doctrine be fer reted out and dismissed.
 In his address to the convention, MT. Green sounded an urgent ap- peal also to the ex-servicemen to join with organized labor in com batting "reactionary forces" seek ing by State and Federal legisla- tion to shackle and retard the union labor movement.
 There is no need for me to re- cite to you the long list of specific instances in which the American Federation of Labor has thrown its support behind the cause of the veterans during the last year," he said. "The record is clear and speaks for itself.
 To-day labor needs and asks for your cooperation. An active cam paign now is under way in state legislatures and in the National Congress by reactionary forces to put through restrictive legislation to shackle the attempts of the trade union movement to raise the Am erican standard of living.
 "This is dangerous trend-dang- erous not only to the workers throughout the Nation, but to our national welfare as a whole. The free enterprise of labor is basic part of our whole free enterprise system. A free America cannot exist without free labor.
 "The anti-labOr forces which are launching these legislative assaults think they are heading in the direc- ton of fascism, but they may suc- ceed in driving America toward Communism. We of the American Federation of Labor want neither. We believe in democracy and in fair and equal treatment for all.

What is the next step?

AS you can see, our present situation is that
with frozen prices and declining profits, we are
asked to pay higher material costs and to make
the biggest wage increase in the history of the
Company. Can we do this?
Well, wages and materials consume all but
few cents of every dollar we take in. If our
prices continue frozen, and the cost of wages
and materials continues to rise, obviously our
Company will begin to operate at loss at
some point.
The exact point at which operating at loss
would start is matter of judgment. Govern
ment agencies and union leaders may have
opinions as to where that point is. But if they
turn out to be wrong, they can shrug their
shoulders and say: "Well, it wasn't my respon-
sibility. l didn't make the decision.
The management of this Company cannot
and will not say that. 1t dares not gamble. It

has been awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor posthumously, the
War Department announced today.
He was Capt. Seymour w. Terry,

trench positions and inspired his
company to route the enemy.
Capt. Terry was killed later while
directing his men in setting up de-
Tense positions.
His company had been pinned
down by heavy enemy machine gun
fire from the five pillboxes when
Capt. Terry personally took the
situation in hand He ran 80 yards
through the fire with an ignited
charge to the first stronghold and
demolished it. Then he moved on
to another, bombarding it with
hand grenades and calmly cut down
| the defenders with rifle fire as they
tried to escape.
There were four pillboxes in the
stronghold He finished the Job
with explosives and destroyed the
machine guns. Jap fire from some
nearby trenches attracted his at
tention. Capt. Terry ran across
100 yards of open terrain to join
his support platoon to urge it ON in
flanking manuever. This thrust,
too. was halted by the Japs.
Capt. Terry began another one
man drive, hurting grenades upon
