AFL Will Renew Efforts
Against Labor’s Enemies
Cleveland. O.—After delivering
a blistering indictment against
the record of the 79th Congress,
AFL President William Green
warned that the American Fed
eration of Labor will intensify
its political efforts this Fall to
i defeat labor's enemies in Con
gress and elect its friends.
In an address before the Ohio
State Federation of Labor conven
tion here, Mr. Green called upon
local and Stat^ branches to coop
erate in the campaign by “getting
voters to register and go to the j
polls."
“One thing is certain," he said.
“The AFL will not depart from its
non-partisan political policy. The
record made by Congress demon
| strates the wisdom of this course,
! for we found friends in both the
1 Democratic and Republican camps
and enemies in both, as well. We
cannot judge candidates'by their
political labels. It is how they
! voted when the major tests came
that must be our sandard for en
dorsement or rejection.
“The ultimate responsibility for
the kind of Congress which passes
the laws for our country does not
rest upon the members of Congress i
themselves, but with the people of
this country who elect them. It is, :
therefore, up to us to make democ
racy work by electing honest and
liberal representatives.
I
I
“For our own welfare and the
welfare of the nation, the Ameri
can Federation of Labor calls upon
every one of our seven million
members and their families and
friends to go to the polls on elec
tion day and vote for candidates
with good records so that the 80:h
Congress will be a big improvement
over the 79th.”
In his attack on the outgoing :
Congress Mr. Green said: |
“I charge here—and I will prove
it by the record—that the present
Congress has failed to. respond to
the needs of the American people.
“I charge that reactionary forces
in Congress have deliberately de
fied the will of the American peo
ple and ignored their welfare.”
“I charge that members of Con
gress have succumbed to high
pressure lobbies and surrendered to
special interets.
| I charge that this Congress has
flatly failed to make democracy
work!”
Citing the “shameful record,” to
support his charges, Mr. Green
first took up OPA legislation. He
said;
j “On this issue of price control,
which is vital to every American
! family, Congress disgraced itself.
Log-rolling went on in the Senate
openly and shamelessly. That
! means, one Senator from a cattle
raising state would go to a Sena
tor from an oil-producing state and
say; “I’ll vote to end price controls
on gasoline, if you will vote to end
controls 0n meat." That sort of
trading at the expense of the
American people is a nefarious
practice. It is not in the American
j tiadition. Its purpose is to victim
i*e the great majority of the Amer
ican people for the enrichment if a
few.
ihe record of Congress on oth
er important legislation which re
ceived less puolic attention than
OPA, is even worse.
"When the war ended, the Presi
dent called for legislation to sup
plement inadequate unemployment
insurance benefits provided for by
the several states. This has not '
■ been enacted. The President asked j
amendments to the Social Security
Act to broaden the coverage and
increase the benefits. This was not
done. The President called for the
retention of the U. S. Employment
Service m the federal government,
at least during the transition. This
was refused. The President urged
the adoption of a comprehensive j
health and medical care program.
Congress failed to enact such a
ptogram. The President requested
amendments for the Fair Labor
j Standards Act to increase substan
tially the level of minimum wages.
This proposal has been laid aside.
The President urged the adoption
of a permanent long-range hous
ing program to bring decent hous
ing within the reach of families of
all incomes. At the eleventh hour j
before the recess the House of Rep
resentatives has not yet voted on
this vital legislation. The Presi
' dent requested the establishment of
a Permanent Fair Employment
Practice Commission. That retuetl
went unheeded. The President j
j recommended the enactment of an
* effective Full Employment bill. In- j
j stead, Congress approved » bill •
which falls dismally short of its
purpose. '
This is only part of the objec
tionable record. Besides its many
errors of omission, Congress has
committed serious errors of com
mission.
“During the cession, both Houses
of Congress approved the Case Bill
which can only be decribed as the
worst piece of anti-labor legisla
tion ever adopted by Congress.
!■ ortunately, the President' vetoed
it and the workers of America were
spared from its disastrous effects.
But tw0 other anti-labor bills be
came law, one aimed directly at the !
Musicians Union and the other at
the Teamsters Union.
"The members of Congress will
be required to go before the people
of the United States this November
if they seek re-election. Through
the democratic process of the free
ballot, the electorate will decide
what they think of their represen
tatives in Congress. The election
involves every member of the
House of Representatives and one
third of the Senate.
“Here i8 the opportunity of the
American people to assert them
selves. If they want to be well
represented, it is their duty to ex
amine the voting records of the
candidates and to exercise good
judgment.”
