credited, not to the business unit
but to special unit under my chair
manship. That unit was set up and
I have regularly reported pledges
and gifts made through that chan
mel.
Zone union, the Amalgamated As
sociation Of Street, Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees OF
America, nevertheless voted not to
support the campaign In any way
unless the demand was complied
with that the campaign leader In
question be relieved of all campaign
responsibility. That step could not
be taken without abrogating the
basic principle that the Chest should
be free to choose its leaders solely
on the basis Of ability and willing
ness to serve.
The members Of that union have
not contributed as they have done
in the past years. Members of other
unions have in many cases used the
situation as reasons for not con-
stributing to the Chest. The results
are apparent in the report to date
Of the Special Unit.
The campaign will continue for
another week and there will be q
report meeting next Tuesday at the
Mayflower Hotel. There is time
during that period to make up for
lost time and to fill to overfiowine
the goal which, for so many people
spells cut what they may expec,
from the social agencies In 1947."
