preserve labor from this anti-labor
legislation, but in addition for the
preservation Of freedom. liberty. dem
ocracy and justice in the United 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 repre-
) senting them by stating the law is one
which frees the workers from domina-
ton by their union leaders.
II don't mind ii they continue to
suffer under that delusion, because
you know if there is any group Of peo-
Pile in America 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
officers serving s%ectionally 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. Everyone Of them would be de-
feated.
But the answer to that will be
made at the election in 1913. | know
| express your sentiments when | 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 dur
ing that great conflict.
I'VE resent it with all the power at
our command. We are opposed to the
Taft.Hartley law. the Lea bill, the
Hobbs bill, and all of the anti labor
bills passed by the different state leg
islatures.
Not Going To Remain Passive
Now what are we going to do about
it? We are not going to remain pas
sive and quiet. We are going to act,
and this great convention will declare
to the world how we will act.
First Of all. | know you will direct
that the American Federation of Lab
or oppose with all Of the power at its
command these anti labor laws passed
by hostile legislative bodies.
we will set as a great objective,
that we must reach at any cost. the re-
peal of the ~Taft-Hartley law at the
earliest opportunity.
Secondly, we will set as an equal
objective without compromise that
labor is determined to defeat for re-
election every member of congress
who voted for the Taft-Hartley law"
A major portion of Mr.. Green's add
ress was devoted to a vehement refu-
tation Of the charge that labor's pro-
ductiyity is at a low level. He said:
THAT is not true. The American
worker stands on a higher plane OF
productivity and efficiency than any
American worker ever stood in all the
history OF our nation. Efficiency has
increased and productivity has broad
ened."

INDUSTRIAL UNIONS IN
FOR MORE HELP FROM
AL CONVENTION

San Francisco-FP-New stress on
industrial unionism as a means of or
~ganizing workers into the ALL was
recommended in the report of the ex-
~ecutive council to the Goth annual
convention here October 6.
With total membership at a record
peak of 7.577.716 for 1947 on the basis
of per capita payments. the AFL coun-
ell urged that all crafts engaged in an
organizing drive should "set up a Joint
council with a director chosen by
either the AFL or the international
unions. The director should be in
complete charge and receive the full
support of all unions involved.
when a campaign is successful"
the report went IN, "a special nego-
tiating committee should be selected
to complete a joint master contract
covering all crafts and unions and
including the wages and working con-
ditiOns of all unions involved"
The report recalled that similar in
dustrial union drives had been sue
! cessful in the building and metal
trades as we'll as in the railroad or
CARNATIONS and that the plan had been
recommended by a previous conven-
ton.
we believe that joint action is the
answer to the problem Of defeating
dual industrial unionism and will
strengthen the position and protect
every union in the relationship with
employers. 1t is vitality necessary
more than ever before, because OF
anti-labor legislation, that we expend
all our efforts to organize all work
ers with a minimum of friction, under
the ALL" the council reported.
The AFL's southern organizing cam
paign has added 425, 900 new members
to its various affiliates, with approx
mately 10000 newcomers in the past
six weeks. The council said it ex-
pected the total gain in IA southern
states to reach 100000.
In the first year Of the southern
drive, from June 1916 to July 81, 1947,
the AFL has issued 1900 new charters
and. won 1854 NLRB elections while
losing an estimated 800.
The report charged that through
out the southern campaign a great
deal Of our energy has of necessity
been expended in protecting our ex-
listing local unions from raids by the
CLOS organization campaign invasion.
the Clio southern campaign vas a
complete failure in textiles and lum-
Der.
The first of this year they real
lied the failure of their invasion tao
tics and completely revised their
strategy and throughout 1947 have
concentrated their activities, in a large
measure, to raiding our local unions"
Montana labor news., 1947-10-16

monte freedom; that freedom
is indivisible; and that it can
not be taken away from unions
without being withdrawn also
from union members; and that
it cannot be denied union men,
bers without being lost, in like
measure, to all of the nations
people.
Unions were responsible not only
for the economic improvements that
give us today the highest standard OF
living in the world, but for many OF
the broad social reforms that are the
symbols OF democracy the world over
he said.
Continuing his address. Gibson
pointed out that unions have given
dignity to the workers who make up
our great strength as a nation. They
have given the workers of our country
standing in their communities. They
have given them a voice in their gov
eminent
Gibson also went into detail concern
ing the anti union drives in the past
and said that today an attempt is be
ing made to undermine the confidence
Montana labor news., 1947-10-16

OF the American people in the aims
and ideals or organized labor by blam-
ing the worker for the high cost of
living.
Part Of the propaganda being spread
according to Gibson is that organized
labOr's strikes during r~econversion
caused higher prices because of in
creased wage demands and also held
up production SO extensively that war
scarcities could not be overcome and
the law OF supply and demand given
an opportunity to work.
Production in 1916 Reached
All Time Peak
Actually. production in 1916 reach
ed an all-time peak for times Of peace,
probably surpassed wartime produc-
ton in volume of output" Gibson eX
planned. Some workers did have to
strike to get simple justice, the kind
OF justice that says the weekly pay
check should at least equal the weekly
bill for food. clothing, rent and other
necessities Of life.
Nevertheless, production reached
an all-time peak and still prices are
soaring beyond the reach of the wage
Garner. In order to cover up their
dismay. those who promised that the
removal Of controls would Of itself
bring price relief, are now screaming
to the high heavens that the respon.
sibility rests with the workers OF
America"
Looking at the profit picture Gibson
said that for the first half Of this year
corporation profits were nearly one
and t~hree-fourths billion dollars, OF
nearly twice as great as they were fol
the first six months Of 1916. Also thai
at the same time food prices have in
creased 1862 per cent. In order tc
make both ends meet, Gibson said tina
workers have had to dip into their say
ings. Yet some people are still trying
to place the blame for high prices OF
organized labor.
Gibson closed his talk by going into
detail concerning the campaign tha1
was conducted to tear down the De
partment Of Labor by making false
charges against 1t. He said, Il do moi
believe that it is possible to legislatt
labor peace and good labor relations
believe that the only way to enc
strikes is to eliminate the economic
injustices that cause them. Govern
ment has a responsibility in free col
%lective bargaining. but it is the re
sponsibility of assistance, not inter
vention."

provided the only education available
for working class children.
Keep Workers Down
Cubberly gives the following obser-
vations made at the time as typical
instances OF opposition to public
schooling:
"lt will make education too COM
mon and will educate people out Of
their proper position In society.
ut would tend to break down long
established and very desirable social
barriers.
1.-THE industrious would be taxed

"Education Is something for a
leisure class, and the poor have no

1.-THE state has no right to inter

"As the Rhode Island farmer told
Henry Barnard In 1874, II would be
a. sensible to take his pillow away
from him to plough his neighbours

him to educate his neighbours child"
Cubberly gives the general develop
ment Of the public school system as
running through the following stages:
/. The problem handled by private
benevolence or a church charity, plus
some small grants OF public funds.
2. Grants. land e~ndowments, per

The big issue in public education
was the establishment OF this sixth
phase, for SO long as free schooling
bore the faint OF charity and admis

ferred to suffer the lack OF education
for their children than to declare they
could not give them the education
