Aue. 31 (UP)4Piesident Truman issued Ihe following Labor Day statement today: This is the fifth year in which it has been my privilege to call upon the American people to observe Labor Day a day dedicated to the workers who have helped so nvich in the advance of our coun try to the position of responsibility ;nd opportunity it occupies in. the world today. The American worker enjoys an economic, politic il mid social status solidly established on democra ic principles and unequalled elsewhere in the world. From time to lime labor has sufercd set backs, but on each such occasion its essential strength has as-ierted itself and progress has been resumed. And as labor has progressed, so has the nation. ' Labor Day, however, is more tha.11 a holiday for celebrating the achievements of the worker and extolling his contribution to the for ward march of our economy. This year, more than ever, il is a time for sober evaluation of the problems that labor, together with all other groups in our country, faces in our complex world, and of our mutual responsibility in meeting them. Labor has become a full partner in our economy. The machinery for weighing labor's needs and fur adjusting the problems of k'bor management relations is being developed and improved through the co-operation of employers and employees. But today labor must also be a full partner in all our undertakings, not only within our borders but beyond the seas: for in the long run our actions in tlie field of foreign policy will affect the welfare ol every man, woman and child. It is a source of pride that statesmen in the ranks of labor are alert to their responsibility in this field and are making a vital contribution to our international programs. I am confident that labor will give the same devotion to. the at tainment of our common objectives at home and abroad that it has long demonstrated in seeking better working conditions, adequate wages and a higher standard of security for workers and their families.

Svpt. 4-3-6 PLUS Cartonn and World News tsom on ilie national and in ternational fronts, America is in volved in a cold war. In our own country, reactionary forces are at tempting to turn the clock back ward and are gambling upon a de pression to return them to power over the nation's economic and po litical life. On the world front, the leaders of the Kremlin also are gambling upon a depression to weaken American resistance and to enable them to gain dominion over all of Europe, and Asia. We must not allow that depres sion to take place. Our govern ment must make every effort to prevent it. And the trade union movement must militantlv main tain and defend its standerds so that mass purchasing power, the noursning force of our economic life, can keep the wheels of indus try rolling. During the past year, for the first time since pre-war days, un employment began to swell. It has not as yet reached alarming pro portions, nor is it likely to do so. But it is a dangerous svmotom and prompt measures; most ho taken to correct it before It is too late. Labor favors the preparation of a huge shelf of public works projects, ready to be set in motion if the need develops to create new jobs. At the same time, the trend to ward high wage rates has suffered its most stubborn resistance in many years. While business con tinues to derive huge profits, em ployers throughout the country, as though by a given signal, have tightened up their wage policy, us ing the pretexts of declinine dhcps1 and fear of future production cut backs as justification. It is true that some prices have fallen, but the costs of living to the nation's workers has not declined appreciably and in some cases has risen, because other prices have gone up sharply in the past year, especially rents. The unions affili ated with the American Federation of Labor have fought courageously and are still fighting for reasonable increases in pay for their workers' and in most cases they have been able to win modest successes. All this time, in the midst of dis tressing and threatening develop ments the trade union movement has been handicapped and re pressed by the grim impediments of the Taft-Hartley Act. No other single factor during the year has hurt labor more. Tragically, the drive to repeal the Taft-Hartley Act during the first session of the 81st Congress fell short of success by a small margin. Despite the everwhelming repudiation of the reactionary pol icies of the 80th Congress by the voters in the 1948 elections and despite the campaign pledges of President Truman, the new Con gress was hogticd by a coalition of Tory Republicans and Dixiecrats. The whole program of progressive legislation, except for the public housing; bill, fell victim to the coalition's axe. This was a severe setback for labor, but not a permanent defeat. The reactionaries will find that out in 1950. I am confident that the workers of this country will turn out to the polls in unprecedented numbers in the 1950 congressional elections and break the hated coalition by defeating Its members for re-election. Labor's League for Political Action, the aggressive po litical arm of the American Fed eration of Labor, is going to redouble its efforts to help bring about this major objective. On the world front, Communism suffered a crucial blow by the dis integration of the so-called World Federation of Trade Unions bv the decision of the free, democratic ..nu'-- Miinrn uiKitiiuiiuiiiiA in more j By 1'IIILIP MURRAY, CIO Continued recession or eco nomic progress? Unemployment, with its atten dant suffering and distress or jobs for all Americans? A weakening of our moral pres tige among the democratic nations or strengthening of our leader ship among the free peoples, and the people who long for freedom, throughout the entire world'.' These questions, of staggering importance to every one of us, face the citizens of the United States on this Labor Day of HMD. We must, as a nation, quickly find the answers the right answers. We cannot afford to drift. It is notifying that the Con gress of Industrial Organizations hue lrii..m .. n I . . : I ......in tuiiaidiiuy io improve me well-being of the American cit izenry and enhance our democratic leadership in the family of nations. The American people have clear ly shown their faith in the future of liberal government, and their deep-seated cantempt for do-nothing reaction. We are proud of the rolt of our Political Action Com mittee in helping advance the cause of government for u,e people in the 1948 election. Our political action will he even more successful in 1950. Labor in America, stands by its legislative program a Fair Deal program to benefit not only the workers but the farmers, the pro fessional men, the small business people of our land. We resolve to secure the adoption of that pro gramto repeal the infamous Taft-Hartley Act, lift minimum wages, to adopt a modern and ef fective social welfare program, to strengthen our civil liberties, to combat the scourge of unemployment. We are equally determined that there shall be greater, not smaller, buying power in the hands of the great mass of workers and consum ers. We are convinced that wages and the buying power of wages must be sharply increased. To stand still or go backward from our present standards is to court the disaster of depression and de spair. Effective action by govern ment, together with improved eco nomic conditions attained through free collective bargaining these are the steps that will lead us from recession to full employment and full production. We, as a nation, dare not fail in this endeavor, for the eyes of the world are focused, intently and hopefully, upon our actions in the year ahead. At a time when dicta torships, both Communist and fascist, are deriding our way of life, we must demonstrate forth rightly that our democratic system can easily provide the greatest good for the greatest number. For our own sake, and for the cause of freedom everywhere, we must show that free collective bar gaining works in behalf of all the people; that we can avert mass un employment and in fact, constant ly raise our living standards: that our government acts vigorously, at all times and in all places, to avert hardship and distress, while but tressing our civil liberties and our economic rights. The CIO is committed to these goals, and determined that they shall quickly be achieved. Workers in America are devoted to the pres ervation, and strengthening of our democratic way of life against the attacks of all totalitarians. We will fight and fight hard, against all who seek to undermine our liber ties or encroach upon our stand ards of living. Librcrrv I it M I "'-'ICS lrnL 111 0 I ikn,J'-ii v j;: MAUGAKETJom.v,,,,,.
