x 1947 CMVEMIOR Gill TO ALL AFFILIATED UNIONS, GREETINGS: You are hereby notified that, in pursuance of the Con stitution of the American Federation of Labor, the Sixty sixth Convention of the American Federation of Labor will be held in the Civic Auditorium, San Francisco, Calif., beginning at 10:00 o’clock Monday morning, October 6, 1947, and will continue in session-from day to day until the business of the Convention shall have been completed. For almost two years, since the close of World War II, the workers of our own country as well as of those through out the world, have waited patiently for the conclusion of ‘world peace negotiations. They crave world peace and security. Unfortunately the conferences of the Big Four representatives which have been held since V-J Day have failed to conclude an agreement providing for world peace. How long shall the disagreement between representatives of the Big Four continue? That is the question the work ers are asking now. We insist and demand that bickering shall cease, that selfishness. shall be eliminated, that a basis of accommodation shall be found and a world peace agreement concluded without further delay. During the put year a concentrated' drive for the enact ment of anti-labor legislation in a number of statu as well u in the Congress of the United States, was launched by the united enemies of our organized labor movement. As a result highly objectionable anti-labor legislation was en acted in more than a dozen statu and by the Congress of the United Statu. We were able to behold, as the pic ture unfolded, that the scattered enemiu of Labor became united, centering their efforts to secure the enactment of antf-labor legislation. Much of this legislation enacted in the different statu is.of the same pattern Mut of it wu directed against union shop agreements mnd the exercise of the right on the part of employers an# employes to en gage in free collective bargaining and to enter into wjdge agreements mutually acceptable. We can not and will not become reconciled to the acceptance of this vicious anti We are still seriously affected by the economic and in dustrial changu which followed the clou of World War II. Rising prices continue, and blaek market conditions prevail to some extent st toast. We are constantly faced with a housing shortage and a demand for higher rents. These, together with other economic, social and indus trials problems must and will be considered by the dele gates in attendance at the convention. In characteristic and traditional fashion, the delegates present will grapple and deal with all these problems and will express them selves regarding them in a constructive, brave and courag eous way. . — —m, ~ WILLIAM GREEN, President. _ GEORGE MEANY, Secretary-Treasurer.
