have been starved by elements more
interested in their own wealth and
profits than in adequate financial sup
port for the education of this country's
children, the committee declared.
"A crippled. struggling public school
system is contrary to everything for
which the A. F. of l.. has stood over
the years. the report stressed.
why is it that in the United States
the richest nation in the world-the
work of Araining the nations children
is constantly hampered by crises
which today have mounted to tragic
and alarming proportions?
These crises. said the committee,
have resulted from the fact that "the
enemies Of organized labor have also
been enemies of the public schools"
During the last ten years organized
business and industrial groups have
been a~ssiduously working-often with
highly skilled, highly paid personnel
to undermine the financial support
of the schools for the purpose OF re
ducing local taxes and increasing pro
fits regardless of the result on the
lives Of children" the union chiefs de
clared.

ped into the mine picture Nov. 20 with
a round denunciation Of the use of

The action came as the $50 dele

ged by a writ obtained in Washington
by the Truman administration.
But as the walkout grew, the soft
coal miners were cheered by the know
ledge that a united labor movement
was behind them.
ALL Pres. William Green summar-
lied the situation in a statement is
sued in Washington:
"All American labor unites with the
mine workers in condemning the re-
version to the archaic philosophy Of
government by injunction and this
peversion Of the Norris-LaGuardia act.

Green added that the injunction will
have the opposite effect Of that in
tended and instead Of returning to
work, the miners who have voluntarily
walked out will voluntarily refuse to
return until a new contract becomes
effective"
Echoing Green came the voice OF the
national CLIO in convention at Atlantic
City, adopting a resolution condemn
ing the federal action employing an
anti-labor injunction. The CLIO brand
ed the injunction a clear violation Of
the Norris-LaGuardia act"
