lion unorganized white collar
workers in the United States,
Secretary of labor Maurice 3.
Tobin said in an address before
the 21st quadrennial convention
of the Retail Clerks International
Association, AFL.
“That’s where labor must con
centrate its energy and its
strength,” Tobin declared. “These
workers need organized labor,
and organized labor needs them."
As in the entire white collar
field, the organizing job among
retail sales people "has only be
gun," the Secretary of Labor
said. However, one answer to
the problem has been worked out
through collective bargaining, he
stated—the union shop. Tobin
strongly advocated the union shop
in retail trade establishments and
said it had proved of service to
both management and unions.
I Employers like it, he said, be
i cause “it does away with constant
! organizing” in their stores. Un
Iions like it because they don’t
have to work “night and day" to

Tobin said the number of white
collars workers is steadily grow
ing. Ten years ago, he noted,
there were less than II million
of them, and they made up
slightly more than 24 per cent of
all employed workers In the
country. Today there are more
than 15 million, constituting
nearly 28 per. cent of all em
ployed workers.
Since 1939, the average weekly
earnings of clerical and profes
sional workers has gone up 92
per cent, he pointed out, as com
oared with 170 per cent for pro
duction workers in industry. “A
part of the superior wages posi
tion of the factory worker, I am
convinced, is due to the strength
of his labor unions,” he said.
“But unionism for white collar
workers isn’t important only be
cause it brings higher wages and
better working conditions. It’s
important also because it gives
the worker an opportunity to par
ticipate in deciding what those
wages and working conditions
should be. It makes him a citi
zen of his firm or factory with a
democratic right to a voice in its
affairs. He isn’t just a number
on a time card. He’s a man who
has his say, through his elected
representatives, in the way things
are run."

Labor Hates Oppression
“So far as organized labor is concerned, we regard war
as the greatest enemy of mankind and we count any cost
low that will prevent a third World War.
“As much as we hate war, we hate oppression more. La
bor is resolved to give whatever it takes to save the world
from being overrun by communist aggression, communist
slavery and communist ruin.
“From the beginning, the American Federation of Labor
recognied Soviet Russia, as the enemy of our free civiliza
tion. Again and again, we issued warnings against com
munist aggression. Time after time we called the turn.
Year after year we fought and resisted every attempt by
the communists to gain sway 6ver the workers of the world,
not only in our own country, but in South America, Europe
and Asia.
“Now the full scope of communist treachery and the full
danger of the communist threat against world peace is at
last becoming apparent to all Americans and to all freedom
loving and peace-loving peoples everywhere.” — Excerpt
from William Green’s 1950 Labor Day Message.
workers who still turn up their
noses at trade unionism, Tobin
stressed. “They do it out of a
kind of snobbishness, a feeling
that unions are for factory work
ers, and that factory workers are
beneath them. They don’t want
to degrade the white collar by
belonging to the same labor
movement with workers who
wear overalls.”
“You would have thought that
kind of thinking went out with
the horse and buggy,” he said.
"I want to tell you,” he went
on, “that the trade union move
ment has been one of the most
constructive forces in the history
of the United States. If there’s
any man too good to be associated
i with it, I’d like to know who
he is.
“It’s privilege to belong to an
American labor union. It’s an
honor to belong to one. And
any worker, no matter what coIot
his collar is, can join one with
pride.”
QUADRUPLE AMPUTEE AIDS
LESS FORTUNATE .
Robert L. Smth, first quadruple
amputeee (June issue, page 10)
has again proved himself a great
American!
With more than $120,000 in an
American Legion trust fund for
him, which means that Bob Smith
should never again have to worry
about his financial future, he
started worrying about other am
putees. When he was asked by
the American Legion Commander
of the State of Pennsylvania,
i Joseph S. McCracken, what he
would do with his money, he
gasped, “Boy, I hope I’ll never
have to use all that. Commander.
There are lots worse off than I
am.” And this from a boy not
yet 21, whose family has never
had money.
This led to the idea of the
Robert L. Smith Foundation. A
drive with a goal of $1,000,000
will open in Lancaster, !*a., on
July 11'. The Foundation will
help all amputees in Pennsyl
vania, civilians and children, as
well as veterans, according to
Commander McCracken.
As for Bob, something even
greater than the $120,000 assur
ance of a fianancial future has
happened for him. Maj. Gen.
Paul H. Streit, chief of the Army
Medical Corps, has said that he
should definitely be able to walk
again on artificial limbs.
