Labor Press of America were Of
ficially reported to the AFL con-
vention on Oct. by Frank B.

Telegrapher, and the ILPA's fra
ternal delegate to the convention.
Powers, who is also a member of

citation, declared that 191 papers
with a total circulation of 8,000,-
900 now belong to the ILPA.

publications has improved to
noticeable degree in formal, at
tractiveness and reliability since
the ILPA's program of annual
awards was started some years
age" ,"~he said.
"Our convention spent consider
able time exploring methods of
combating racket sheets. +. Prac-
tical steps were taken to continue
the battle against these parasites

Tell Your Story
TO People Of US
Tobin Tells AFL-

St. Paul (LPA)-American labor
has a great story to tell to the
American people, the story of what
it has done, not so much for itself
as. for the nation as whole, Labor
Secretary Maurice Tobin told the
AFL convention.
"You need only to recite the re-
cord and all Americans will realize
that the advance of organized labor
has been the advance of the ma
tion," he said. He listed the estab-
lishment of free public schools,
compulsory school attendance, elm
ination of child labor, minimum
wages, factory sanitary laws s,
workmen's compensation, public
housing, the Wagner act, among
labor's achievements.
"You have done your job for
your country, and you have done it
well. Sell this idea. Sell the idea
that everybody is indebted to you
and that the whole economy has
been lifted up by your efforts and
that you have contributed much to
the building of the strength of the
nation"
He suggested unification by
labor to sell America on what the
labor movement has achieved as
one of the most effective molding
forces in American history. He said
this story cannot be told as it
ought to be told "unless it comes
from house no longer divided
against itself" He pointed to the
cooperation Of all branches of or
ganized labor in the international
field.
Tobin predicted the doom of the
Taft Hartley act, if not in the S1st
Congress, then in the Sind, be-
cause the law is not only "anti-
usion, but anti-American."
He assailed the prophets of doom
because there had been a recession
in 1949, said it was only tempor-
ary let-down, called for full en-
ployment and rising wages, and
denied that higher wages must be
followed by higher prices.
He called for a united front of
labor against the anti-unionism
that appears in transition period,
a fight against sub-level wages
anywhere. He urged labor to
launch retraining programs for
workers displaced by chronological
changes.

won, keenan, said, not by ballyhoo
and good intentions, but by ring
ing door bells, driving voters to
the polls, and even baby sitting at
the precinct level.

|AFL Supports
British Workers
Green Declares

st. Paul (LPA)-"We stand with
you," AFL President William
Green declared after the conven-
tion had heard Lincoln Evans and
Tom Williamson, fraternal dele
gates from the British Trades
Union Congress. Green said the
British have a right to any form
of government they wish, so long
as it is not a totalitarian form of
government.
"We believe the people of Great
Britain have a right to shape their
own future; we claim that right
for ourselves" Green said.
Those who charge that British
workers are lazy, and that Bri-
tain's plight is due to its Socialist
government, are the same reaction
aries that oppose labor in this
country, Green said.
He assured the British visitors
that it is the fixed, unalterable
purpose" of the AFL to promote
and perpetuate the friendship be-
tween the workers of Great Bri-
tain and America.
Evans said that the future of the
world depends on show you and we
stand together" He noted that his
country is going through a social
revolution, and without a civil war,
and said that "in friendship and
understanding lies the future hope
of the world"
Williamson denounced the "mis-
chief makers" on both sides of the
ocean, said the British are sincere
ly grateful to America for its aid,
and that the foremost desire of
the British is to stand on our own
feet"

He'll Strike Ended
With Big Demands Won

Milwaukee (LPA)-Nearly 400
members of United Steelworkers
voted last week to end a 14-week
strike against the He'll Co. here.
The workers won all major de-
mands, including union shop, vaca-
tions, and weekly pay, after voting
overwhelmingly to turn down an
earlier company proposal.
Final voting was by secret ballot
in city-owned voting booths, super
vised by Gov. Oscar Rennebohm,
Milwaukee Mayor Frank Zeidler
and state conciliation officials.

AFL Makes Stand
On Issue OF
Welfare State

st. Paul (LPA)- Little doubt
was left by the AFL at its conven-
ton here as to where it stands on
the issue of the so-called welfare
state"
Earlier, the new national COM
mander of the American Legion,
George N. Craig, devoted almost
his entire speech to raising a scare
over "statism" and the welfare
state" and he referred to these as
stepping stones to Communism.
Craig got a polite but hardly a
sympathetic reception from the
AFL convention. President William
Green did little more than thank
Craig for coming.
The story was different when
Oscar Ewing, administrator of the
Federal Security Agency, spoke.
Ewing pulled no punches, and de-
nounced all who brandish the
"statism" bugaboo in an effort to
halt social progress. He was cheer
ed time and again.
And when he finished, Green
went all-out in praising Ewing.
"He spoke our language; he re-
flected our thinking" the AFL
leader declared. He added:
al am one of those who believes
that the poorest man or woman in
the world is entitled to receive
adequate hospital care, nursing
care and medical attention when
they are i'll, and | believe in well
fare state that will accord to them
that kind Of service"
Then Green told Ewing, "You
can count on US to work with you
and fight with you for the realiza-
tion of this great objective"
Also, to newsmen AFL leaders
were blunt in their characterize
tion of Legionnaire Craig's speech.
"The American Legion elects a
new commander each year, but it's
the same old reactionary speech,
propounding the economic philo-
sophy Of Wall Street and the Ma
tional Association of Manufactur-
ers," declared Secretary-Treasurer
George Meany.

AFL Reiterates
Appeal For Unity
In Labor's Ranks

st. Paul (LPA)-A new appeal
for labor unity was unanimously
adopted at the AFL convention.
The declaration cited the fact
that "efforts at cooperation in the
economic and legislative fields as
in the political field can be only
partially successful as long as di-
vision within the ranks of labor
continues.
"If we are to organize with max
imum effectiveness it is essential" +"
the resolution said, "that we reit-
crate our continued interest and
support for all moves within the
labor movement"
Also, the AFL executive coun-
ell was called upon to make known
its readiness again "to initiate and
support efforts to reunite all bona
fide labor unions in cur nation"
A series of declarations on edu-
cation were also adopted by the
convention. Highlights were:
Education should be geared so
as to "better equip man to help
himself and his fellowmen in a
free society"
Congress should enact adequate
Federal aid to education.
Scholarships and work opportun-
tiles should be provided needy stu
dents, without regard to race or
creed.
In the field of housing, the con-
vention hailed the passage by this
Congress Of the Housing Act OF
1949" which calls for public hous-
ing and slum clearance.
However, the fight is not yet
over" it was made clear in re-
port adopted by the convention.
"The fight now shifts to the var
ious localities which wish to con-
struct public housing projects or
undertake slum clearance opera
tionS.
at is clear from past events that
local real estate interests Will do
everything within their power to
thwart and frustrate attempts by
citizen groups to start these pro-
jects.
"We urge all central labor bod
les to take an active interest in
housing development within their
own community so that labor's vic
tory in the passage of this bill will
bear fruit in the form of fewer
blighted areas"
Also, the convention stressed
that the Housing Act of 1949
touches only a small part of the
housing problem, that of families
in the very lowest brackets. Fur
ther legislation is urgently needed,
the convention said, to meet the
housing needs of middle income"
families.
Delegates went on record, too,
for effective maintenance Of rent
controls sin those areas where the
supply of new housing accommoda-
tions is not yet equal to the de-
mand"

he said, brings the dream of Eu-
ropean unity one step nearer real
ization. Don't let anybody tell you
that the workers of Europe are not
working hard" he said, and added
that they are determined to inn
prove their productivity.
He called the British decision to
devalue the pound a move against
going her separate way, and a
choice of working with us and
with all Western society in build
ing one better world with no keep
out signs posted against any

Nightly Rddio Program
Sponsored BY AFL-LLPE
Is Announced By MednY

of what Labor's League for Polite
al Education has accomplished and
what it plans to do was presented
to AFL delegates here October 5
by George Meany, in his capacity
as secretary-treasurer of the lea
que. He spoke for the Leagues
administrative committee.
High spot of his review of fu-
ture plans was his disclosure that
a 15-minute newscast, five nights
a week, will get under way Janu-
airy l, under joint sponsorship Of
the AFL and LLPE. This will cost
approximately $750,000 a year, to
be divided between those two or
CARNATIONS, Meany said.
An outstanding commentator will
be engaged to make the newscast,
which will be carried over lat
stations of the Mutual Broadcast
ing System.
1T is the hope of all of US"
Meany said, "that by this nightly
newscast we will be able to count
eract in the public mind the ad-
verse charges and insinuations
made against labor's legitimate
economic and Legislative aspira-
tions by most of the commentators
now on the air"
Labor made a great showing in
the 1913 election but it didn't do
well enough, Meany told the dele
gates. "That means we must finish
the job in 1885," he said.
From last December until Feb
ruary /, the League is being fin
anced by voluntary assessments
from AFL unions, and these,
Meany said, have yielded total
of $582,654, including a contribu-
ton of 100000 just made by the
Carpenters. He estimated that
about $4,000 more will come from
unions.
He described the far-flung work
done by the League-participation
in political rallies, making of al
liances with farm groups, establish
ment of the League Reporter,
printing of many bulletins and
creation of radio department.
LLPE now has its own special
Washington report which is heard
over 180 stations, and which fea
lures members of Congress, cab
met officials and labor leaders.
Also the department assists friend
ly members of Congress in their
own weekly broadcasts to their
constituents. Combined, these radio
programs are receiving free time
worth approximately three quart
ers of million dollars a year,
Meany explained.
The League Reporter now is go
ing to key mailing list of many
thousands of officials of local
unions, and in addition the labor
press is making widespread use Of
the material in the Reporter,
Meany said He cited the fact that,
although it is only five months old,
the Reporter won two prizes in the
annual contest Of the Intl Labor
Press of America.
After February /, the League
will have to rely upon voluntary
individual contributions TO finance
its work, Meany explained. After
that date it will be going into the
political action phase, and hence
cannot be financed directly by
unions.
Delegates voted unanimously to
authorize an all-out drive for these
two-dollar donations, in coopera-
tion with affiliated AFL unions,
and pledged themselves to give
wholehearted support to the cam
paign.

School Teachers Here
Eligible for Foreign
|Trips Under New Bill

District public school teachers
would be eligible for trips abroad
under the international teacher
exchange program. according to a
bill introduced yesterday by Sena-
tor Mundt, Republican, Of South
Dakota.
In a statement explaining his
measure. he said that. under pres
ent law. District teachers cannot
participate in the exchange under
the United Nations Educational,
Scientific. and Cultural Organiza-
ton because there Is no provision
to pay their salaries while teach
ing abroad.
The new measure would con-
tinue the teachers pay here while
they were abroad.
Foreign teachers now must take
a loyalty oath to teach In city
schools, but the requirement
would be lifted by the Mundt bill.
1t provides that visiting teachers
need not take an oath Of office or
oath of allegiance or loyalty to
the United States. but they would
be required Ito satisfy the Board
of Education as to personal, moral
and professional fitness to teach
in public schools In the District.
The length Of time for such for
eign exchange would be one year
"It is highly essential. in my
estimation" declared Senator
Mundt, that the District partici-
Ipate in this very important educa-
ton exchange program.
Washington is the most impor-
tant city in the world and here Is
the best form Of government In
the world. 1t seems to me that II
foreign teachers can watch the
working of our government ma
chinery at close range, they will
return to their own country with
progressive ideas.
Likewise" he added. "the stu
dents in the District schools are
entitled to the added advantages
which a returning teacher car
1 give them after she has Travelled
and observed other peoples. Thil
will be a cultural advantage
which ought not to be missed"
The exchange would be operated
in cooperation with the interna.
tional program. handled through
the Once of Education. Senator
Mundt recalled that he was the
author Of the original UNESCC
bill.
