Seating Of Two Delegates
Tonight al NMU Convention
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-A fac
tlonal battle at the sixth biennial
convention of the CIO National
Maritime Union today centered
around the seating OF two Cleve-
land delegates.
AS the day-long session closed,
the convention unanimously voted
to send three credential committee
members to Cleveland to get rec
ords at the local NMU Office for
examination in connection with the
Clevelanders seating.
The action was taken at the re-
quest of Joseph Curran, NMU
president, who has staked his union
career on battle to wipe out what
he terms Communist influence
within it.
Earlier the two Cleveland men
Josh Lawrence. national director for
MINUS Great Lakes area, and Mike
Vargo, great Lakes area organizer,
were seated after the convention
voted 360-336 to reject minority
report of the credentials committee
that would have barred them.

worker stands on @ higher plane of productivity and efficiency than any American worker ever stood in all the history of eur nation. Efficiency has increased and productivity has broadened."
 Mir. Green cited the marvellous achievements of labor during the war in stepping up production and in providing a steady, never-ending stream of war materials to our men at the front lines.
 We have shown what can be accomplished by free men in free economy. We know that there is almost no limit to the goods and services which can be produced when workers are free from fepres- sion and can give expression to their highest and most creative inn pulses.
 With the close of the war our production continued to expand. The needs of peace and rehabilita- tion of the entire world created un- precedented demand for the prod ucts of American factories.
 "In 1889 our gross national prod uct was slightly in excess of $90 billion. In the first half of 1947, we had rapidly reconverted to peace time gross national product of $225 billion per year. We are now pro- ducing 59 per cent more actual physical product than in 1889, and 80 per cent more than in 1929.
 There is the answer to those who have charged lower efficiency among the millions of workers in the United States of America. The facts do not justify any such accu- sation. Instead, state to those who criticize and find fault: Go where you will, into any country in the world, and you will not find g worker more efficient, with greater productivity than you will find

 already had its reactions with many unenlightened people who fear now that going to the movies is an un-American and pro-Com- munistic act!'
 The United States would do well to take the strength of this domes- tic open attack into the halls of the United Nations to strengthen the stand of fellow democracies against Commie eneroachment. This hit and run type of warfare in the committee rooms of Con- gress only accent the Communistic claims that we cannot maintain our democracy at home and yet are fostering democracy abroad. Only a direct diplomatic break with the USSR could begin to jus- tify the now "Un-American" Un- ] American Activities Committee.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-10-31

PTeS1QGnt GfeemS SCr0ng, TeSO- nant voice echoed through the hall as he called upon the workers eff the nation and the delegates to the convention to work to get out the vote in 194S.
 In order to accomplish this pur- pose, this convention, I know, will direct and order that we establish election day in 1948 as holiday so that the workers can march to the polls end vote against their ene- mics. We have the votes if we can get them into the ballot box.
 'The millions of workers whom Lincoln said God must have loved because He made so many of them, along with their staunch and de- voted friends outside the labor movement, will march to the polls and cast their votes, and if they do, there vii be no doubt as to the out come of the election.
 "So now we must prepare for this. It is up to us to do the job. The workers of the nation can do 1t in my judgment. If we organize right from the bottom to the top, and see to 1t that every worker re- cords his vote on election day in opposition to those who voted against them and stood against them in their hour of need.
 Our appeal will be to the work ers of the nation and to all our friends to stand with us in this cri- sis, defeating this attempt to limit freedom, liberty and democracy and to substitute theirs for dictatorship and governmental control of the economic life and activity of the workers of this nation. In that way

Metal Trades Convention Adopts Resolutions

Delegates to the Metal Trades Convention adopted many resofu- tions, the most important Of which was one condemning the Taft-Hart- ley law and it's administration. The ruling of Robert N. Denham on the signing of Communist affi- davits was hit as a drastic and arr bitrary edict hindering attempts of unions to comply with the law.
 The resolution, which urged all AFL officers ito yield to the pres- ent. filing requirements of the law" pledged the unions to fight to right the wrongs of the act'' not by defiance, but in the American way, through aid of the courts, the ballot box, and by congressional ac- tion."
 Other resolutions were adopted calling for the maintenance of a navy and merchant marine suffi- cient to meet the needs of national defense and the economic welfare of this country, the curbing of loans to foreign countries for ship building purposes, and an intensive drive to elect the friends and de- feat the enemies of labor.
 Additional actions by the conven- ton opposed the elimination of rent control, urged the enactment of long-range housing legislation, called for the establishment of ua- ity in the labor movement, and pro- posed an intensive organizing drive during the coming year despite the obstacles created by the Taft Hartley law.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-10-31

we will be fighting, not only to preserve labor from this anti-1abor Legislation. but in addition for the preservation of freedom, liberty, democracy, and justice in the Unit ed States of America" ~Mr. Green branded as a delusion the fond hope of the sponsors of anti-labor legislation, especially the Taft Hartley law, of driving a
 wedge between the workers and the organizations representing them by stating tine law is one which frees the workers from domination
 by their union leaders: T don't mind if they continue to suffer under that de1usion, be- cause you know if there is any group of people in American firmly
 opposed to this legislation, it is the workers in the shops, the mills, the
 mines, and the factories who you have the honor to represent, and
 there is no business agent serving the workers locally, no officer serv- ing sectionally and none serving in a national capacity that could hold his position if he would go out and,
 at meetings of these workers, urge them to approve the Taft-Hartley law. Every one of them would be defeated.
 ! "But the answer to that will be
 made at the election in 1948. know
 express your sentiments when I say that we resent the action taken
 by the state legislatures and the
 Congress of the United States in passing anti-labor legislation after the war is over, and following the establishment of such a wonderful
 record as labor made during that great conflict.
 We resent it with all the power
 at our command. We are opposed to
 the Taft-Hartley law, the Lee bill, | the Hobbs bill, and all of the anti
 labor bills passed by the different
 state legislatures.
 Now what are we going to do about it? We are not going to re-
 main passive and quiet. We are go- ing to act, and this great convention will declare to the world how we will act.
 First of all, I know you will di- rect that the American Federation of Labor oppose with all of the power at it's command these anti
 labor laws passed by hostile legis-
 lative bodies.
 "We will set as a great objective, that we must reach at any cost, the Erepeal of the Taft Hartley law at the earliest opportunity. I Secondly, we will set as an equal objective without compromise that
 labor is determined to defeat for reelection every member of Con- gress who voted for the Taft-Hart- ley, law.'
 A major portion of MT. Greens address was devoted to a vehement refutation of the charge that labor's
 productivity is at low level. He
 said:
 That is not true. The American

RepeuI of "SIove Labor" Law Becomes Lobor's Main Objective

among the American workers in the United States of America"
 Turning to foreign policy and the international situation, MT. Green said the workers of the world crave peace and security, but that the working people of America have been greatly disappointed in the work of the United Nations With out mentioning Russia by name, the
 AFL- president lashed out at all forms of tOtaIitarianism and dicta-
 tOrships that are standing in the
 way of real peace for the world.
 We do not want to impose on
 any nation any political philosophy,
 but we want the people in every
 nation throughout the world to de-
 eide for themselves as to whether
 they want a democratic form of
 government or totalitarianism. We will oppose with all the power at our command any attempt on the part of any nation to im- pose any sort of political philos- ephy upon any people throughout the world against their will" Of the Communist issue on the domestic front, MT. Green was equally adamant. Reiterating the AFL's historical position as being unalterably opposed to any form of totalitarianism, he said forcefully
 and directly:
 we will have nothing to do with Communism i'm any shape or form. The American Federation of Labor is an American organization It believes in America, the funda- mental law of the United States, the Constitution, freedom, liberty, and democracy"
 On the question of imitation, MT.
 Green accused those who would
 blame labor for the rising cost ot living as misrepresenting the facts
 Food prices have doubled, he de 1 clared, and "even the NAM cannot successfully blame organized labor for that"
 Labor has done little more than [ to keep g. firm grip lon the tail o1
 the exercising skyrocket of prices,
 he declared.
 'Labor's hands are tied. It is.
 therefore, the direct responsibility of the manufacturers and sellers o1
 our products to return to the Amer ican tradition of producing in large quantities for mass consumer market at the lowest possible prices
 compatible with American stand ards.
