The great leader of the Amen cm Federation of Labor, though he wm not born in th a country, loved the ideals of the United States with all h heart and he made them his guide in the devel0P™nt of our organization, which is now the atrongesttrade union movement in the world. He modeled theconstitution ofthe American Federation of Labor after that of our country and its government after the practices of self-governmen or voluntarism. Samuel Gompers rejected all the cults and isms of Europe for the ideal of free opportunity which had conquered a primeval land and made it serve the welfare of a free peo ple. He held that each man and woman must accept re sponsibility for his own life and progress in living and learn toco-operate with those with like problems in order to do what needs to be done to achieve progress. Wage-earners who joined unions did so because they be lieved in the union way of life, which enabled each worker, through his union, to have a voice in determining the terms and conditions under which he toiled. Since the job is the basis of the worker’s life, this voice gives the worker dig nity and responsibility, two essentials of satisfactory living. Because uompers loumi in Amci . . - men, a nation where each was evaluated by his ability to accomplish results, he rejected the class-conscious struggle of socialism predicated on irreconcilable conflict l>etween employers and workers. In its place Gompers helped to de velop the idea of collective bargaining between workers and employers. Out of collective bargaining, based on known and accepted facts, develops a sense of mutuality when dealing is fair and a growing realization that the welfare of all is interrelated. The leadership of Gompers brought us to the practice of co-operation in production and collective bargaining, and we have tried to move forward along that road. Gompers’ emphasis on personal responsibility and volun tary methods of determining the relations between employ ers and employed led to opposition to any infringement of the workers’ freedom in this field. He feared especially reg imentation by the government. Accordingly, he held that whenever the government took over a new function in our economy, it should do so with the voluntary organizations of employers and workers in a consultative relationship with equal autthority in making the rules and methods of admin istration. We should remember this precept in the critical days and years ahead, and we can best honor the memory of Samuel Gompers by insisting upon such a relationship as the basis of our co-operation—Atlanta Journal of Labor. WHERE TAX DOLLAR GOES A budget dollar chart has just been published in Wash ington, D. C., which gives some interesting facts about where your tax dollar goes, according to the Washington Teamster. In view of the fact that the boys in Congress are fixing to take another fat bite out of your paycheck, it is well to know that out of every dollar that Uncle Sam collects, he spends 58 cents for military preparedness and to pay for past wars. Seven cents more goes for various Veterans programs. Ten cents is the cost of international affairs and obligations and 17 cents is the total cost of all other government activities. That leaves eight cents to pay the interest on the public debt. .... _ Out of the 17 cents comes the money for Social Security, for the departments of government, for Federal aid to the States, and all the rest. This business of military safety is expensive—but it is also equally important. Without ade quate military protection we would have no government, no Social Security, n > country.
