labor has fought for those prin-
ciples of government which our
forefathers outlined in the Dec
laration of Independence and for
those principles of liberty and
justice that have made our coun-
try the envy of all free nations
in the world.
We have upheld these princi-
pies not as empty words, but
as living facts. Thus we have
sought to reduce the hours of
work and increase its rewards
so that the right to life might
have real meaning. We have
sought to give men some Sc
curity so that i b e rty might
mean more than the liberty to
.starve during periods of unem-
ployment. We have sought to
provide men leisure and the op-
portunity for education so that
they can pursue happiness un-
burdened by long hours of
drudgery and unclaimed from
toll.
This is the heritage we have
received and this is the heritage
we shall cherish and improve
upon and hand down still bright
and shining to the generations
of working men and women who
will follow.
There are still many among
us whose la bor is exploited.
There are still many among us
who are free of the haunting
fear of the day they become too
old to work, or i'll, or unem-
ployed through no fault of their
own. There are still m n y
among us who are denied their
full rights of citizenship because
of their race or religious creed.
Ar1dnver all of us hangs the
drkad of another horrible war.
To cure these ills and to re
move these fears governments
were instituted among menE Our
task, therefore, lies in the field
of political action. Through poll
tical action we shall continue

nothing until US Steel sets the

Murray also pointed out that
it's not the unions fault If the
little" steel companies "are so
dominated by US Steel that
they can only rubber-stamp It's
decisions"
Industry-wide bargaining, the
steel union head charged, "is
of part with the uniform price
structures of the industry. The
small steel compnies' real COM
plant is that they are domin-
ated by Wall st. and by the US
Steel Corp. We synpathize with
them, but it is not our fault"

the bounds of economic health. "

teachers in Americas public

However, the convention also
reaffir1ned its position for Fed

should be acted upon in separate
