Educational, Political Drives Planned By LLPE Committee Washington—The adminis trative committee of Labor’s League for Political Educa tion, the AFL’s political arm, mapped plans" for inten sification of its educational and political campaigns. The 30-man steering com mittee at a meeting here agreed to amend the league’s by-laws to permit the collec tion of funds from unions to finance a 14-month political education drive. On the political front, com mittee members decided to evolve plans for the strength ening. of local political organ^ izations for the primaries and elections of 1950. In other action the committee formally named Joseph D. Keen an director of the league. Mr. Keenan served in this capacity during the last election campaign and guided LLPE’s successful ef forts to oust from Congress many supporters of the Taft-Hartley law. Mr. Keenan told reporters that a 5-member committee would supervise the changes in the league's by-laws to permit the organization to accept 10 cent contributions from all AFL mem bers for the purpose of “political education.” The committee consists of Wil liam Green, president of the AFL; George Meany, secretary-treasur er; Harry C. Bates, Bricklayers Union; Richard Walsh, Stage Hands, and W. C. Birthright, Barbers Union., Its report will be made to the administrative committee at the next meeting of the AFL executive council which opens in Miami on January 31. The by-laws will have to be* amended according to Mr. Keen-1 an, to comply with the require ments of the Taft-Hartley Act and the Corrupt Practices Act relating to union contributions for campaign purposes. Therefore, a political education al organization will be formed! side by side with the section which will have the direct re sponsibility for pressing the can* | didacies of office seekers. To finance the educational pro gram for the next 14 montha, Mr. Keenan said he expected that at least $650,000 would' be col lected. In the last three weeks, he declared, $125,000 had been contributed by various unions. This money will be spent solely in urging voters to register, per suading they to pay poll taxes and to be ready to take part in the 1040-50t primaries and the 1950 elections, A table showing dates of the primaries in the various states was scanned .by the committee members and gave added empha Best wishes to oil our friends for a Prosperous 1949!

The educational arm of the AFL league will seek to arouse sentiment against labor-restrict ing laws on the federal aad state levels. A drive for $1 memberships in the league for the 1950 campaign was also discusserd and agreed upon. Except for some elections next year. Mr. Kenan said, the league would carry on its educational activities until February 1', 1950, when it would resume its political -Stork. B^early 1950, he added, the league wmuld be prepared to di rect its political work on behalf of general election campaign candidates for Congress and state legislatures.

In connection with this phase of the work it was pointed out that the American Federation of Labor maintains through its business representatives, the international union representatives and the .various officers of the local unions and trades councils, a staff of men numbering two thousand in the territory which represents the greatest activity ut any labor or ganization towards organizing and educational efforts. The or ganisation committee went furth er in its resolution to point out I that the program involving Na tional and state legislation should be patterned to more closely fol low the interest ot' public welfare in the realm of public thought; that since the organized labor movement and the union mem bers in all localities of the Southern territory are part of the public and anyrning affecting public welfare likewise'affects the union members. The committee on Legislation brought in a resolution express ing the unabridged ngnt to con tract between labor and manage ment in order to accomplish this end that the labor laws of the several southern states snould be repealed in orJer that the people may exercse the rights to which they are entitled. The Committee Resolution further stated that the obnoxious Taft-Hartley law passed by the 80th Congress should be repealed. Preservation of the right to secret ballot in voting, both in the party primaries and in the general elections was strongly advocated that the voters may be free to expression of their choice of public officers, the cre ation of Leisglative Committees^ for each of the State Federations ' of Labor for the purpose of studying these problems was rec- i ommended. .

The Committee rec ommended that extensive work be carried on by individuals and in agriculture, small business and special emphasis be stressed' on the political program and what it means to the average American citizen. The Union Label Committee, following the presentation of an educational film by the Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor made its reporta.
