AFL Pledges AM To Physically Disabled Washington. — AFL President William Green pledged that the AFL would co-operate in efforts to stimulate the gainful employ ment of physically handicapped persons. Mr. Green’s views were ex pressed in a statement prepared for the President’s Committee on National Employ the Physically Hndicapped Week to be observed Octobr 2-8. His remarks were included in a pamphlet issued by the committee which includes sim ilar statements from other labor leaders, officials and private citi zens. In a foreword, Vice Admiral Boss T. Mclntire, chairman, said in making the collection available that “it is our sincere hope that through these words others may be moved to act. And the act will call upon our fellow Ameri cans to perform is to provide .equality of employment oppor tunity for the handicapped.’’ Mr. Green declared that the handicapped should be “encour aged to serve where opportunity presents itself. He said that labor and management should cooperate “in helping to create work opportunitiess for handi capped individuals. It is the pur pose and policy of the American Federation of Labor to co-operate in as full a measure as possible in the promotion and achievement' . of these worthy objectives.” Secretary of Labor Maurice J Tobin said that the department “believes in the dignity of the individual and the consequent right ^of that individual to employ ment opportunities in keeping! with abilities and training.” He; pigged the personal interest of department officials -“in working .for justice for the handicapped, whether their wounds were of wartime origin or their disabili ties due to peacetime accidents 01 Illnesses.” T Two DP Orphans Dreamt— And HIAS Made It Come True With the Rabbi intoning the wadding «hant, two orphan DPs, child hood sweethearts of Roehov, Czechoslovakia, Ann Faig, 18, and leak Roaanhack, 21, wara married in tha synagogue of the shelter of HIA8 <Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) in New York as soma 400 other DPs, recant arrivals in this country, looked on and rejoiced in the happi ness that had come to two of their number, in their native village, when Ann and leak ware children, they had vowed eternal faithfulness to each other, and after the Nazi capitulation they found each other and renewed their vows. In the DP camp days that followed they decided that they would marry, but that it would be in America. MIAS brought Ann to America on December 21, 1848, and while wait ing for her fianed she found an apartment for them te live in, with the aid of HIA8, and a Job. In the DP camp they had confided to a MIAS official that their dearest wish was to be married in America, ahd the official promised them that when they arrived in America MIAS would give them a wedding. And so it was done, Just as they had dreamed It. As the bride walked slowly down the aisle to the canopy, lovely in her white chiffon dress and filmy veil, many an eye welled. There were overtones of dear ones who were dead, and horrors that had made a nightmare of the past, and over all the beautiful and affecting notes of the wedding march pealed out as two children who were alone in the world, but now had each other through all eternity, reached out for happiness in a world that had seemed to them to be devoid of aU chance of happiness. Label Department Urges Big “Buy-Union” Drive St. Paul.—Affiliated unions and the general membership of the American Federation of Laboi were urged to get behind a stepped-up drive to promote the purchase of union-made goods and services, by the Executive t Board of the AFL’s Union Label Trades Department The call for action was Con tained in the board’s report t< the 41st convention of the depart I *1 DOWN DELIVERS The Buy of the SEASON Complete three - piece bed outfit, includes spool bed as shown in walnut, maple or ma hogany finish, angle iron frame coil spring and felt plaited mat tress.

Trade and College St. ment in session here which re ported progress in it’s efforts to make the American public rec ognise that union-made products are “the best buy anywhere in the world.” The report reviewed the tre mendous successes scored by the annual Union Industries Show staged by the department for the purpose of bringing home to the public the extent to which labor management co-operation has pro duced high-quality goods and serv ices. Uruging a continued effort to promote the sale of -Union Label articles, the department officers declared: “From a selfish standpoint, we must urge every consumer to buy Union Label articles because it is the best way for him to raise his own standard of living. He will find it the only practical method of increasing the contents ht his pay envolepe. If self-pres- i ervation is is the first law of. man, let us then buy under the Union Label from purely self-, ish standpoint. Union Label buy-i ing is the best way to obtain the full union benefits for all citizens.! "But there is a greater cause than the selfish one. it is buying union-jnade goods from a humani-' tarian standpoint. In industries1 'that are unionized, there ia no | child labor, no sweatshop con ditions and no unfair conditions for either men or women. The health of those who consume or use unfair products may be great ly impaired. To buy union-made products therefore is the greatest assurance of sanitary conditions in processing and healthful pro ducts. / “The great reforms which the American Federation of Labor advocates can be more easily ac complished by greater organiza tion and union label buying. Col lective bargaining and intelligent buying are the only methods yet discovered to raise wages, short en hours and better the condi tions of all toilers. In just the degree that American work ers and their friends, as con sumers, buy under the union label banner can we obtain a full meas ure of “life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness!” * , "Patronizing firms that display the union label, shop card and button is the best method of preserving our American standard of living of ^11 times to th§ great number of people in any nation on the face of the globe. The union label is truly the symbp' of freedom in action.” Men’s and Boys’ Shoes Moccasin type oxfords in brown elk leather . . . with composition soles.
