FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR FRANK MORRIOON (Continued From Page 1) son who fought their battles with great vigor and purpose during his •4-1-yea career as secretary of the American Federation of La bor. | A resolution passed by the AFL’s National Legislative Coun cil captures the spirit of these many tributes. It follows, in full text: “Whereas, the Infinite Creator in His wisdom, has seen fit to re turn Frank Morrison to meet his Maker, and “Whereas, organized labor has lost one of its founding stal warts. the secretary emiritus of the American Federation of La bor. and “Whereas, Frank Morrison will always live in the hearts of his brothers as one who Ijept the faith in all respects as they af fected his fellow man, and “Whereas, Frank Morrison will always be remembered for his untiring energy to shorten the hours of work and increase the wage of the working man, and “Whereas, FYank Morrison, with Samuel Gompers and Wil liam Green, was constantly on the side of the men in public life who gave their support to the needs and rights of labor, and “Whereas, organised labor can count many of its blessings and much of its progress to the con stant vigilance of Frank Morri. son. militant to a high degree, daring imprisonment, if neces sary, for the things he held near and dear to labor, and “Whereas. Frank Morrison has inscribed in imperishable mem ory of all who knew him well or even remotely his record of deeds in behalf of humanity, now “Therefore, be it resolvd, that the National Legislative Council of th American Federation of La bor does now spread upon its minutes a copy of this desolutlon and directs that a copy be di rected to the family of Frank Morrison and that copies be fur nished to the press and radio and to the Executive Council of the American retie ration of Labor with the request that it appear in the Federationist and in an early newssheet of the Weekly News Service of the American Federa tion of Labor. And further, that copies be forwarded to all publi cations of all national and inter national unions affiliated to tne American Federation of Labor.” At the time of his death last week, Frank Morrison was 89 years of age. As always he was in the forefront of organized labor’s struggles during his active'Serv ice in the labor movement. Mr. Morrison maintained his keen in terest in trade unionism and eco nomic problems after his retire ment. During the last few years of his life he held the post of secretary emeritus of the Amer ican Federation of Labor which he saw grow from an orgagniza tion of 250.00U members to its present strength of nearly 8,000, 000 trade unionists. A kindly, white-haired gentle man of the old school, Frank Morrison was held in the warm est regard by the veterans of la bor’s fight for a place in the sun. He was an active figure in many of labor’s historic struggles dur ing the era when the righto of trades unions to mere existence was often challenged by powerful employers and their allies, hostile police forces and injunction judges. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Samuel Gompers, whom he served under for 29 years, in the battles which make up such a large part of the early history of organised labor in North America. Forty-one years ago, in a his torical fight against the issuance of injunctions in industrial dis putes, Frank Morrson, Gompers, and John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers were tried on a charge of contempt of court. They were found guilty and sentencd to jail terms. However, the American Federation of Labor carried its case to the United States Supreme Court twice and the case was finally dismissed. Mr. Morrison eontiaued to work hard to publicise labor's nr foments against the oae of the injunction for the benefit of un fair employers. Finally, in 1914, he had the satisfaction of seeing the Clayton Act passed. At that time it wap believed that his law would stop the injunction persecu tion foT good, but later it was found that the new statute had too many loopholes. Labor waa forced to renew its fight and Mr. Morrison played an important role in the campaign which cul minated in the passage of the Norris-LaGuardia act in 19 S2. In addition to his part in the drive to eliminate the injunction abuses, Mr. Morrison became known as a champion of the shorter work week and as an ad vocate of measures to eliminate child labor. Re eras also active in backing legislation which re sulted in the creation of the De partment of Labor. In the polit ical sphere, he helped form the AFL’s traditional non-partisan policy and far sveral years served as chariman of the organisation’s national non-partisail political campaign committee. Born in Franktown, Ontario, Canada, on November 23, 1959, Mr. Morrison became an Ameri can citisen in 1889 in Chicago. He began his career as a printer and throughout his life he main tained membership in the Chicago Typographical Union. He also studied law and obtained a de gree in 1895 at Lake Forest Uni versity. He was admitted to the Illinois bar and practiced law in Chicago. His election as AFL secretary came at the first convention he attended as a delegate from the International Typographical Un ion. At that time the AFL was only 15 years old. From his elec tion in 1895, Mr. Morrison wife. OUR BEST GRADES HEAVY BREED CHICKS MO for $15.0# Send for Price List— Save Money worthwhile chicks 1*1 W.
