BRIEFED OH LABOR’S ROLE
IR WORLD AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON, D. C. — Eigh
teen newly appointed Foreign
Service officer*, who will »erve
in U. S. mission* abroad, met
recently with CIO and AFL of
ficials to get organized labor’s
views on international issues and
its participation in international
affairs.
The meeting was part of the
training course given to such ap
pointees by the U. S. Labor De
partment’s Office of International
Labor Affairs. In preparation
for their overseas assignments,
these young men spend 6 weeks
of study-time getting a close-up
of the operations, functions, and
statutory interests of various
Federal agencies — the Depart
ments of Commerce and Agricul
ture as well as Labor.
Invited by the Labor Depart
ment to participate in its edu
cational program for the Foreign
Service officers, the labor officials,
George T. Guernsey, associate di
rector of education for the CIO,
and John Connors, director of the
AFL’s Workers’ Education Bu
reau, described the efforts of their
organizations toward strengthen
ing democratic institutions through
out the world. They pointed to
their unions’ participation in the
International Confederation of
Free Trade Unions’ which, since
its creation in 1949, has been
striving to improve the living and
working conditions of all peo
ples, and outlined steps that are
being taken to aid in building—
and rebuilding — free democratic
unions abroad. They also noted
the widespread participation by
labor in U. S. Government agen
cies dealing with international af
fairs.
At earlier meetings, the For
eign Service officers heard ad
dresses by Arnold Zemple, Ex
ecutive Director of the Office of
International Labor Affairs, and
other officials of the Labor De
partment. The officers were
briefed on such subjects as the
history and development of the
American labor movement, labor’s
role in the jU. S. mobilization pro
gram, and the Department’s par
ticipation in international affairs
and its relationship to the For
eign Service.
Broadly speaking, the responsi
bilities of a Foreign Service Of
ficer are to carry out the foreign
policy of the President as ex
pressed in the directives of the
Secretary of State, to keep the
Government informed of develop
ments abroad, to protect Ameri
can citizens and interests in for
eign countries, and to cultivate
and maintain friendly relations
with peoples of other nations.
Specifically the duties of a
Foreign Service officer include
negotiations with foreign of
ficials; political reporting; eco
nomic reporting in the fields of
labor, finance, transportation, etc.;
development of cultural and in
formation programs; issuance of
visas and passports; and numerous
other duties.
The Foreign Service Act of
1946 provides for a Board of
Foreign Service to advise the
Secretary of State on the admin

AFL AUTO WORKER 1951
LABOR DAY CARD TO HONOR
THE LATE J. A. PADWAY
MILWAUKEE, WIS. — Joseph
A. Padway, chief legal counsel
for the American Federation of
Labor until his untimely death
in 1947, is being honored on its
1951 Labor Day card, it has been
announced by the United Auto
mobile Workers of America, AFL.
This .is the third year that the
Auto Workers have distributed a
special card on Labor’s day; prev
iously honored were Samuel
Gompers and Peter McGuire.
The 1951 card carries one of
the latest pictures taken of Mr.
Padway before his death, along
with the following message:
“Because of his great contri
butions to the welfare of the
workers, tribute is being paid
to Joseph A. Padway this Labor
Day.
“As attorney for the Wisconsin
State Federation of Labor, he
! molded state labor and Sbcial
welfare legislation, which pro
vided the basis for Wisconsin's
national reputation as a leader
! in progressive democracy. But
this was only one phase of his
career of public service. His ef
forts in behalf of the welfare of
those he championed were re
stricted only by his own capaci
ties, which were almost limitless.
“His successes for the work
ingman attracted nation-wide at
tention, resulting in his being
summoned to Washington by the
American Federation of Labor in
1938 as its first Chief Legal
Counsel.
“One of his outstanding legal
istration and personnel manage
ment of the Foreign Service. Repre
sentatives from the Departments
of Labor, Commerce, and Agri
culture are members of this
board.
The Labor Department is pri
marily responsible for the labor
attache program and labor re
porting activities in the Foreign
Service. Labor attaches are ex
perts in the field of labor affairs,
and in many cases are drawn di
rectly from the ranks of organ
ized labor.
Two such labor men were pres
ent at the Labor Department
meetings for instruction before
going on overseas assignments.
These were Bruce Millen, who
was field representative of the
CIO Organizing Committee, and
later the State representative of
the CIO Political Action Committee
now assigned as assistant labor
attache in Rome, and Cushman
Reynolds, formerly assistant edi
tor of the Seafarers Log, publi
cation of the Seafarers’ Interna
tional Union, AFL. Reynolds has
been appointed to the post of la
t'or information officer in Djakar
ta, Indonesia.
Labor Department officials
stressed the importance of the
role these labor experts play in
the administration of foreign pol
icy, as well as the importance of
accurate labor coverage by gen
eral Foreign Service officers.
Never underestimate the pur
chasing power of a woman. Tell
her to patronize only firms that
display the Union Label, Shop
Card, and Union Button.
triumphs was th« establishment
of the principle that legal pick
eting was synonymous with free
dom of speech under the United
States Constitution.
"He believed that the welfare
of the nation and the world was
inseparable linked with that of the
man who worked with his hands,
and that in helping him he ben
efited all mankind.
"After World War II, although
in failing health, he led an in
tense fight in opposition to anti
labor legislation, both nationally
and in the states, which cul
minated in a heart attack and
his death while addressing the
American Federation of Labor
Convention in San Francisco, Cal
ifornia, October 8, 1947."
