MEMBER”SOUTHERN LABOR-PRESS ASSOCIATION AUTHENTIC /=====< * ~ RESPONSIBLE “LET THE SUNLIGHT OF A FREE PRESS SHINE IN DARK PLACES” SOUTHERN LABOR PRESS ASSOCIATION “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rent unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”—Matthew 11:28-30. WEEKLY BIBLE THOUGHT THE AMERICAN LABOR DAY Next Monday the Nation’s workers will pause to cele brate their own National holiday—Labor Day. They have a union carpenter by the name of Peter J. McGuire, who stood before his Central Labor Union in New York City in May of 1882 and proposed that one day each year be set aside and observed as a general holiday for the work ing people. His plan was adopted by his Central Labor Union and carrying out Delegate McGuire’s suggestion that the first Monday in September be named for the observ ance of Labor Day a committee was named to complete plans for the initial celebration in honor of the city’s workers. In 1884 the fourth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, meeting in Chicago, adopted the plan and during the next few years the AFL devoted its atten tion to securing state legislation proclaiming Labor Day as a national holiday throughout the country. A dozen years later the Labor committee in the House of Repre sentatives adopted a favorable report on a bill making Labor Day a legal public holiday and in June of 1884 the bill had passed through Congress and President Grover Cleveland signed the measure making it a law. For more than half a century the worker’s day has been celebrated by both union and non-union workers, and too, this day is observed by large financial institutions, the industrialists, the religious bodies, Mr. Average Business man and their employes. All of whom have this lowly union carpenter to thank for the part he played in estab lishing a day of rest and recreation in America for all those who toil. CALL TO ACTION LABOR DAY KEYNOTE All members of organized Labor should read President William Green’s Labor Day message which appears on page one of this issue of The Labor Journal. In this mes sage President Green calls you into action—’’action to pre serve the free American way of life from the threat of domestic fascism and world communism.” Mr. Green points out. that the leaders of the Kremlin are gambling upon a depression to weaken America’s resistance which the Russians believe would enable them to gain con trol over all of Europe and Asia. Th® AFL chief also warns that in America reactionary, forces are attempting to turn the clock backward and are also gambling upon a depression to return them to power over the nation’s economic and political life. Mr. Green calls upon you to be ever vigilant on the political front and asks that Labor turn out to the polls in unprecedented numbers in the 1950 congressional elections and break the hated coalition by defeating Labor’s enemies for re-election. Great progress has been made in North Carolina in co operation with Labor’s League for Political Action, the aggressive political arm of the American Federation of Labor, but there is much more work to be done before our house has been put in order and our economic stability made more secure. We must pledge the Chief all the sup port we know how to render, both nationally and on the local front. : r\\\ r ^_-> WE’RE SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD/ V. — -is -W_Ml_LLL a -AND WELL REMAIN HERE JUST SO LONG AS WE BUY UNION LABEL GOODS/ ■^77-'/ /s UNION LABU TnADga DCPT, A F.U* II LABOR DAY finds the free American worker still enjoying the best living standards in the world. Let’s keep him on top and try to lift other nations up to our level instead of dragging our own citizens down to the low labor standards of Europe and Asia. The best way to do that is to buy Union*made*in-America goods and use Union services. Then—and only then—can we continue to set an example for toilers of all nations. L M. ORNBURN. H»r.ur>-Tr»..r.r, UNION UUL TRADES DEFT, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR 1949 Convention Call To All Affiliated Unions Greetings: . You are hereby notified that, in pursuance of the Consti tution of the American Federation of Labor, the 68th Con vention of the American Federation of Labor, will be held in the Civic Auditorium, St. Paul, Minn., beginning at 10 o’clock Monday mornng, October 3, 1949, and will continue in session from day to day until the business of the Con vention shall have been completed. Once again we convene in annual convention—four years after the termination of World War II—moved by feelings of uncertainty and increasing disappointment. Workers everywhere are asking why, following such a long period of time, no substantial progress has been made in the nego tiation of an international agreement providing for inter national peace and security. The facts seem to make it clear that failure to arrive at an international agreement is due to the negative, antagonistic and selfish policy of Soviet Russia. Apparently the Russian government seeks to extend and expand Communist control over certain na tions of Europe, Asia and elsewhere throughout the world. The fight, therefore, for international peace and security is supplemented by a fight against the aggression of Rus sia and its Communist philosophy. We want world peace, but we want it to be )>ased upon the principles of freedom, democracy and liberty. This is sue must be faced courageously and in a spirit of determi nation that the free people of no nation shall be forced to accept communism and Communist control against their will. As we meet in this historic convention, labor throughout the nation is conscious of the fact that our enemies are seeking to destroy, weaken, and if possible wipe out our trade union movement through the enactment of vicious, reprehensible antilabor legislation. As a result, the fight-" ng spirit of the workers has been aroused as never before. That fact was reflected in the election which was held last November. The record shows that unity of thought and action was developed to a high degree among worMng men •tnd women and their friends everywhere. This fight against ;«iti-labor legislation is still on. For that reason those in attendance at this convention will formulate policies de «igned to win victories for labor both on the political and 'economic field. Social security and health insurance legisla tion, federal aid for education, minimum wage legislation and other social justice and security legislation will and must command the attention of the officers and delegates in attendance at this convention. Our purpose is to bring about the realization at the hopes and aspirations of labor, to seek to establish a standard of living commensurate with the requirements of American citizenship. We cherish the principles of freedom, liberty, <lemocracy and justice as a common heritage to be pre served at any cost and transmitted to future generations. In conformity with the record made by previous conven tions, those in attendance at this 68th Annual Convention of the American Federation of Labor will make a genuine contribution toward the realization of this great objective.
