NOTIONS,
1st Floor
international peace and security
and in the determination to pre
serve freedom, liberty and de
mocracy.
In the national field, our un
ions have succeeded in maintain
ing the economic and social
gains which they have made, and
in raising their standards of lift
and living to somewhat highet
levels. In this respect we" have
not lost but instead have gained
much. Through the enactment
of improved social security leg
islation, the establishment o'
higher minimum wage rates, the
extension of a shorter workday
period ia many instances, and
the development of a favorable
public sentiment in support of
adequate retirement legislation,
the social and economic welfare
of the masses of the people has
been advanced.
In fighting for the realization
of these social and economic
gains we have learned that we
must continue as aggressively
and militantly as ever for the
preservation of freedom, liberty
and democracy. Even during this
period when we meet again in
annual convention, there is
abroad throughout the nation a
clashing of governmental ideolo
gies and controls. We of the
American Federation of Labor
who cherish freedom land liberty
as a prieeJess heritage can net
and will not surrender to totali
tarianism or the totalitarian
form of government. Because we
cherish freedom we will fight to
maintain it; because we regard
liberty as a priceless heritage we
will sacrifice anything and every
thing to preserve it and transmit
it intact to succeeding genera
tions.
We «aU upon the represents*
tives of government to termin
nate the second World War
through the negotiation of aw
agreement and through such ac
tion establish international peace
and security throughout the
world.
Oar fight for the repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Law must continue
until we achieve our purpose to
wipe this objectionable legisla
tion from the statute books of
the nation. We must plan to
mobilize our J full political
strength in order to accomplish
this highly commendable pur
pose. ,
At this historic convention we
will plan to go forward, never
backward; to hold fast all the
gains we have made and fight
for improved conditions of em
ployment and higher standards
of living; to maintain the free
dom guaranteed us by the or
ganic law of the land; and to
refuse to accept legislation which
will limit our legal, free trade
union activities and thus hinder
and hamper us in our efforts to
lift the standard of life and liv
ing of every American worker to
a high and still higher level; --
Representation in the Conven
tion will be on the following ba
