hood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen has opened the door
for afhliation with the AFL-CIO
and its Canadian counterpart.
the Canadian Labor Congress.
The brotherhood's general poll
icy committee, at a two-day
meeting here, gave the go
ahead to its $4,000 United States
members and $4,000 Canadian
members to join the larger trade
union organization.
The decision by the commit
tee is a turning point in the
history of the 83-year-old BROTH
erhood and of railroad running
trades generally. The trades
have, in the past. steadily re-
manned independent Of all afflli-
alton.
Brotherhood President H. E.
Gilbert of Cleveland, Ohio,
called it. "a momentous decision,
one of great Importance in the
long history of the brotherhood"
He said steps to complete actual
affiliation with the. larger unions
will be taken as rapidly as pos
sible. j. S. Mclean of Ottawa.

brotherhood in Canada. said
Canada's 10000 members may

No prediction was made Of
when the United States section
will officially join the merged
AFL-CIO.
Authority to decide the affilia-
ton question was given to the
committee by the 1947 conven-
ton Of the f1remen and engine
ment at San Francisco. At that
time the brotherhood agreed to
join the AFL and CLIO when they
merged. Merger was complated
last year.
In Canada, the issue of brother

Labor Congress. then affiliated

ever, was deferred in 1881.

again last night for a readjusting
of the country's physical, mental
and spiritual standards ito in
sure the futuresof our nation"
He told the Districts American
Legion Auxiliary convention that
Imechanization has tended to
make the country soft physically,
(which would make us soft men,

And he said another thing
needed is a building Of spirit and
Integrity.

CriticizeS Schools
Gen. Hershey criticized the
Nations school system for pro-
during inadequate students. He
said the idea is to "see that
everybody's got it (education)
even if he doesn't have anything
after he's got it."
The Selective Service director
has called repeatedly for a new
system of measuring fitness OF
persons called for the draft. He
has said that while 90 million
have failed the physical tests
since 1850. many of them could
have been useful. His example
was the youth who walked Ia
miles for his physical only to
be turned down because Of bad
feet.
But he said the lack of spirit
is just as serious as the lack
of education and physical fit
ness.
Most things worth having are
worth working for" he said. 1--WE
must somehow learn to enjoy
the luxury we have, yet keep
physically fit"
