A LABOR DAY RETROSPECT By WILLIAM S. GREENE Sec. Charlotte Central Labor Union What a difference in the outlook of the world today, com pared with last Labor Day? Only 365 days have passed away since our Labor Day of 1939, but the events during that very short period of time are epochal. International Labor ha*^ practically disappeared as an organized body, outside of Amer ica, and Great Britain. All efforts of every country are de voted to creation of instruments to destroy, rather than the cre ation of a higher standard of living. The United States has come to a period in its life, where we are forced to become militaristic or perish. We are the last great country to decide upon such a step. Others have fallen to an invading foe, be cause they did not prepare with al Itheir resources, in time. The world is aflame. War today is waged as it was in prehis toric times, with no regard for non-combatants. W hat was once considered civilized, now is savage. We are on the plane of the Ant world in intelligence, in international relations between the countries of the World. We are like the Ants who send their battle forays to grab what they can from their neighbors, and receive in return the same treatment. The standard of liv ing is going down ail over the World. The United States once more may becoem the Promised Land in a much greater sense than ever before, to starving peoples on the Earth. This time we will have to give ail, instead of giving some and selling some The A. F. of L. National forecasts are for increased employment in 1941. But let us not forget that this prosperity sign is based on the creation of things to destroy rather than a higher standard of living. It is my own personal feelings, however, that the Foreign policy of our government is correct, that preparadness is essential to protect what we have in the way of Freedom of Thought, which is after all. more important that getting fat with too much food.

' LABOR DAY WAS ORIGINATED BY PETER J. McGUIRE Labor Day as a special holiday for the workers was originated by Peter J. McGuire,' founder ,of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers of America. He suggested the idea to the New York City Central Labor Union in the Spring of 1882. The union agreed with the plan and sponsored the first celebration with a big parade and festival on Tuesday, September 5, 1882. Two ♦ears later the union decided to hold the celebra tion on the first Monday in Septem ber, and urged other central labor bodies throughout the nation to set up that day as “a universal holiday for workingmen." “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether this happens at twenty or at eighty.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson. 17: -tnPEC t GEORGE MEANY Secretary-Treasurer American Federation of Labor Compliments to the Journal LOUIS H.
