To All Affiliated Unions Greet
ings:
June 30, 1950.
You are hereby notified that,
in pursuance of the Constitution
of the American Federation of
Labor, the Sixty-ninth Conven
tion of the American~ Federation
of Labor will be held in the Civ
ic Auditorium, Houston, Texas,
beginning at 10:00 o’clock Mon
day morning, September 18, 1950,
and will continue in session
from day to day until the busi
ness of the Convention shall have
been completed.
Many interesting developments
have taken place in both the in
ternational and the national fields
since the adjournment of our last
convention. The extension of pid,
assistance and help to the im
poverished people of Europe
through the Marshall Plan and
otherwise, has been supplement
ed through the organisation and
establishment of a irew world
confederation of free, democrat
ic unions, the International Con
federation of Free Trade Unions.
All of . this must be interpreted
as a contribution toward the pro
motion of international welfare,
good will and co-operation. No
one can adequately appraise the
value of the service thus ren
dered in the promotion of
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 life
and living to somewhat higher
levels. In this respect we have
not lost but instead have gained
mush. Through the enactment
of improved social security leg
islation, the establishment b'
higher minimum wage rates, the
extension of a shorter workday
period in 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 i
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 and liberty
as a priceless heritage can not!
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 sacrifloe anything and every
thing to preserve it and transmit
it intact to succeeding genera
tions.
We call upon the representa
tives of government to termin- j
nate the second World War I
through the negotiation of an
agreement and through such ac
tion establish international peace
and security throughout the
world.
Our 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
mobiliae our 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
* high and still higher level.
Representation in the Conven
tion will be on the following' ba

tion Union, for less than 4,000
members, one delegate; 4.000 or
