Affirms a Belief
In Labor Movement

Affirms a Belief
In Labor Movement
First, let me tell you why
I believe in the free labor
movement in America, and in
the American Federation of
Labor. A mans background
affects his belief, all of you
know that, and like most Amer
leans, probably like most of
you, mine, of course, as is the
Presidents. is a background
of working family. My father
at various times while I was.
growing ups was streetcar
motorman, a carpenter, an oil
field worker, and he was a
pretty amateur plumber too,
and I might say that in addi-
ton to that he was a small
country grocer. Those of you
who know anything about that
business will know that that
is also a working position. And
the problems that you have
during the time that you are
growing up as member of q
working family are ones that
stay with you all of your lives.
They are ones that are of real
concern to you, regardless of
what position you may even
tually attain.
And the second reason that
I have belief in this organi-
zation and its future is be-
cause I know what you have
done. I do not consider my
self a great history student,
but I have specialized to an
extent in that field, and
know something about the
American Federation of Labor
and the great contributions
you have made to this coun-
try.
My father used to tell me
that he went to work at the
age of II years. and he has
been working ever since and
he is now rs. At the time he
went to work at the age of
IL. the American Federation
of Labor had just about 100.-
900 members in it. The aver
age wage in America at that
time was 19 cents an hour.
The average work week was
50 hours a week. Today the
American Federation of Labor
has almost 8 million members,
that 19 cents an hour has
grown to $1.67 an hour and
those So hours of work a week
have gone down to a statutory
level of 40 hours week.
Any fair-minded person, I
think, would have to agree
that this organization has
contributed greatly to that
progress.
Then there is a third reason
that I am proud to be before
you and happy to beahere, and
that is this: Because I know
of what this organization has
done. not only for its individ-
ual members in the traditional
fields in which labor organ
izationS generally work, but I
know what you have done for
the country. / think most of
you are aware of my activities
in the field of investigating
Communist subverSion in this
country, but I am sure that
many of you may not have
heard a statement that I have
heard oftentimes in the past,
which I repeat now and which,
in repeating it in the rather
exalted position I now hold,
may get the coverage that it
deserves and that your organ
ization as we'll deserves as I
make it, and that statement is
this:
No institution in America
has been a greater target of
Communist inf1ltration than
the American labor movement.
The Communist Party has
spent more money and more
effort and has put more peo-
pie to work attempting to in
filtrate the labor movement of
America than any other insti-
tuition, whether it be Govern
ment, education or other
propaganda or information

ATC Provides Smaller 'Copter

The Army Transportation Corps

Instead, it is putting a little

The idea had been to remove
the landing gear of the Sikorsky
