____________ ____ CR A F TSM AN A
This movement of ours is one of the moot far reaching in the
world. A man may pray at any altar or at no altar, he may be
a member of any political party, but so long aa he is a laboring
man he is welcome in our movement.
To say that every individual should stand on his odm feet
to redress wrongs is like saying that men should take the stage-
coach instead of the fast express. What oppefrtunity has the
individual industrial worker to redress a wrong?
Our opponents say that we encourage men not to do a square
day’s work. The chief element of thia statement is that it is
not true. We say, “Bring on all the new machinery, al‘ “
tools. We shall use them.” But we also say, “There!
no monopoly of the fruits. We demand our full share of the
increased output of our toil.”
The lesson of organization has been taught for ages. Our coun-
try is a*union. Where do we not find organization? The Board
of Trade and the Chamber of Commerce are organizations. It
is essential for the banker to organize and its is essential for the
broker to organize. Then why is it not essential for the labor-
ing man ?
The labor movement was born of hunger—hunger for bread.
It is still a hunger, but now it is for the better things of life.

St. Paul. — The Executive Council
bailed the progress made in the va-
rious states to repeal obnoxious labor
legislation and to enact satisfactory
labor laws, but waned that tbe situa-
tion leaves do room-“for. complacency
or reduced effort.”
Summing up tbe results of state
legislative action Id tbe labor field, the
council's report declared:
“State federations of labor are to
be congratulated on tbe results of
their hard work tn Maine. Massachu-
setts. New Mexico, Missouri, Dela-
ware and New Hampahire. There the
voters defeated proposals to ban
closed shop and other types of union
security agreements.
“Maine voters in September reject-
ed a 1947 anti-cloeed shop law and de-
feated a proposed measure with even
more restrictive provisions.
“In November, voters in New
Mexico defeated a proposed amend-
ment to the state constitution which
would have prohibited denying em-
ployment to any person because of
membership in, registration or expul-
, a labor organization, or
refusal to join a union.
"Massachusetts, at tbe November
election, also defeated a proposal to
ban the closed shop. In the same
election, thia state also turned down
a measure to require labor union offi-
cials to be elected by secret ballot at
least once a year, and a proposed law
which would have prohibited strikes
unless approved by a majority of the
union’s membership.
“'Little Taft-HartleyhActe’ in Mis-
souri and Delaware were repealed.
Tbe New Hampshire oct regulating
union security agreements was also
repealed.
“In addition, Michigan amended its
Washington.—Local and county au-
thorities in California’s Central Val-
ley are attempting to stop picketing
of fields by striking cotton pickers.
II. L. Mitchell, president of the AFI/s
National Farm Labor Union charged
here.
Mitchell said that Kings County offi-
cials bad prevented the entry of a
cotton pickers’ caravan at Corcoran,
Calif. Tulare County authorities hur-
riedly adopted an ordinance, he said,
prohibiting the use of loud speakers,
and jailed william G. Trafton, Na-
tional Farm Labor Union organiser,
for violating tbe ordinance. Trafton
was released on bail posted by the
Visalia Central Labor Union after an
overnight stay in tbe county joil.
The AFL Farm labor Union leader
said he had advised representatives
of tbe union to fill every jail in Cali-
fornia if it is necessary to preserve
the right of striking cotton pickers to
hold meetings, picket tbe fields and
use public address systems.
Meanwhile, the strike of cotton
pickers which began September 12. as
a protest against a wage reduction
overaging over a dollar per day for
each worker Is gaining momentum.
More than 30.000 cotton field workers
have walked out and production has
been shut down nearly 100 percent in
many areas.
Big farm operators have mobilized
ail mechanical cotton pickers in Cali-
fornia and are touring working class
districts of various towns and cities
hoping to Impress the striking cotton
picker* with the idea that unless they
accept the wage cuts the farmers will Ision from,
use the machines to pick tue 1949 t« i
crop. Union organizers are counter-
ing this propaganda with the state- i
ment that there are less than 1.500
such machines in use throughout the <
entire cotton belt and if they were
all thrown into California, they could
not harvest the million bale crop now
opening rapidly.
Mitchell also charged that the As-
sociated Farmers of California, Inc.,
Is responsible for the present strike.
The farm group backed a meeting of
large growers held In Fresno, Calif.,
at which it was agreed to cut wage*
of cotton pickers from *3 per 100
pounds to *2.50 per 100. The average |

Th* objoct of oiRsiri«d labor to to mak* the home more
beautiful, to so down to the very lowest and lift them up, to
make today brighter than yesterday and each day brighter than
the one which haa gone before.
Some people think that the labor movement’s object is to
atrike. We don’t want to strike. It la an interruption and a bur-
den to our progress. We don’t want to fight and we don’t want
to strike, b-t there ere worse things than a strike—a degraded,
debased, demoralized manhood.
The St. Paul convention of the American Federation of La-
bor marks sixty-eight years of service to the wage-earners of
this country. We could not have served them so long had we
not served also the interests of our nation.
In a democracy each group is responsible for promoting its
welfare. As progress cannot safely be entrusted to chance, it
is surest when the group choses representatives to take care
of its interests. The union is the wage-earner's agency for
this purpose. The union has many functions. It serves the mani-
fold needs of the workers. First, workers want equal status
with their employers for collective bargaining. This gives the
wage-earner self-dependence and enables him to utilize the
human rights our democracy affords to all.
The procedure of the union represents unity of action in
accord with majority decision on policy. A bond of fraternity
grows out of pooling strength to right the wrongs of each and
to advance the welfare of all. The union is a great spirtual
force because it depends on devotion to ideals and standards
that call for sacrifice in aiding fellow worgers struggling for
rights. Mobilization of this sentiment can generate the fire of a
crusade.
The union also provides workers with a medium for parti-
cipating in community activities in order to have available ade-
quate educational facilities, libraries and museums, recrea-
tonal facilities, electric power, water, transportation facilities.
Labor is also concerned for the enforcement of law and order,
so that community environment may be wholesome and con-
ducive to good living.
When repressive or unfair labor legislation is proposed, the
union can direct and interpose opposition and thus protect the
membership. The union can also direct campaigns for legisla-
tion assuring labor’s rights, insuring the laborers against bank-
ruptcy in emergencies and providing them with constructive
sendees such as making useful information available, putting
a floor under collective bargaining, etc. The union also fa-
cilities labor representation in the administration of labor law
—often as important as labor representation in collective bar-
gaining, .
These are the major concerns and objectives of unions which
the American Federation of Labor has promoted and-stimulated.
Our poHcies are practices have risen out of desire for the real-
ities of equal opportunity for all.
These practices and procedures tee fashioned In accord with
democratic institutions and constitute our record for the past
and our guide for the future. We have grown from an insigni-
ficant group to a mighty fore* that mast be considered and
consulted. We have developed from a local organization into
a great institution known throughout the world by using our
growing power for human welfare.—William Green.
