In the Sir Walter Hotel. .■■■■ m UY J - *'• HtXKEItVIU,. Raleigh, Feb. 28~Organization of some of the crafts among employes of the State Highway and Public Works Commission into local unions of the American Federation of Labor is now under way, and most of the employes of the highway commission as well as many employes in other State depart cm nts, are seriously con sidering the formation of local unions, all of which would be affiliated with the State Federation of Labor and American Federation of Labor, R. R. Lawrence, president of the State Fed eration of Labor, said here today. The school teachers are also considering forming local unions, he said, and pointed out teachers in both Char lotte and Asheville have already oi ganized and affiliated with the State and American Federation of Labor, j "There is nothing to prevent, all Slate employes and all the school teachers from forming local unions, i by crafts, and affiliating with the i American Federation of Labor,” Law rence said. “In this manner they can get the cooperation of the entire State Federation of Labor, consisting of 410 local unions at present, in seeking leg islation of benefits to them, such as shorter working hours and better pay." All governmental labor unions, ietli er State or Federal, are non-strike, unions, Lawrence pointed out, which means that no strike will ever be called among members of these un ions. lie pointed out that all Federal employes are members of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and hav» bebit for years and that it was largely the result or this membership that Federal employes were among the first to obtain the eight hour day. "Most State employes in many or Ihe stales are also members of loeal unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.” Lawrence said. “Even up in Virginia virtually all oi the State employes, with the jiossible exception of the Virginia Highway Commission, I am not quite sure about that. But there is nothing unusual about State employes forming their own unions and affiliating with the A. F. of L., except in the South, where sentiment has been against any kina of labor unions for years. But this sentiment is changing rapidly, since the Federal government, through the NRA, is protecting those who want to form unions and encouraging work ers everywhere who have not organi zed, to do so.” It will, of course, cost all school teachers and State employes some thing to organize and belong to local unions, Lawrence said. The cost varies for different crafts and trades, but on the average will amount to about | (Continued on Page Four.) WIRE SERVICE OF the associated press. HENDERSON, N. C.
