CHARLOTTE DELEGATES TO
N. C. FEDERATION CONVENTION
Mr. J. A. Scoggin, President of the Central Labor
Union, Mr. J. A. Moore, with alternates Mr. C. R. Meaeham
and Mr. R. E. Deese will go to the aannual American Federa
tion of Labor Convention of the North Carolina Federation.
Being aware of what has been going on behind the
scenes of Federation circles since December 7th, 1941—we
can hazard a guess as to the work that will be accomplished
in Asheville when the Convention comes to order.
In the forefront of wholehearted co-operation all the
way down the line—no matter if it hurts—have been the
Fedration men and officials of our state.
This theme, stressed by Mr. C. A. Fink, the state Presi
dent and Mr. J. A. Scoggin, the Charlotte President, has been
echoed in every hall and at every meeting.
The result is gratifying—and will continue "to make
every North Carolinian proud of his people and neighbors.
Organization work, work of any nature pertaining strictly to
UNION business has given way to the only REAL JOB
AHEAD—HELPING TO WIN THE WAR.
Lacking the press agents employed by those who have an
axe to grind with A. F. of L. labor, the public has not been
informed fully as to just what Union Labor has pledged
itself to do in this war—and WHAT IT HAS ACTUALLY
DONE.
We’ll leave all that to be told at the Asheville convention,
and we are sure that a spirit of patriotism and unity will
prevail that will be a model for organizations of every de
scription throughout our country.

Amendments to special learner reg
ulations for the Single Pants, Ehirts

According to the regulations, which
become effective July 20, special cer
tificates authorizing the employment
of learners in these industries may be
issued by the Administrator when it
appears that experienced workers are

standards established for experienc
ed workers.
Certificates may be issued for
learners in the following occupations:
machine operating (except cutting),
pressing, handsewing, and finishing
operations involving handsewing.
Provision prescribing the number of
