Administrator Ewing told the AmerL
can Federation of Labor convention
that the 75-cent minimum wage must
be raised and that Ue Taft-Hartley
Act should be repealed.
"Minimum wages for workers has
been a veritable godsend to millions
of Americans." Ewing said. "Minimum
wages have also played an important
part in making Ue American system
work by sustaining the purchasing
power of many people. Today, the
minimum wage is 75 cents an hour.
This means $30 for a 40-hour week,
or $1,560 a year. No one can support
a family on such a wags as that-
and it must be raised.
"The skills and crafts of our work-
men entitle them to pay that is com-
mensurate with what they contribute
to our American economy.”

said that the future of American tabor
is at stake in Ue coming election. The
delegates were told that if the Re-
publicans win Uey are planning to

adds to the extremely high cost is

as "short-sighted” snd "selfish."
"I only pray that labor will up-
hold toe hands of thetr friends who

added. "Repeal it not merely because
of its injustice to labor but also be-
cause of toe harm it does to our
American system."
The FSA chief praised Ue old Wag-
ner Labor Relations Act as having
made ss great a contribution to ths
development system as sny otter sin-
gle piece of legtstation.
Ewing said the American system
wss ths envy of the world because
miracles were wrought in the U. S.
by minimum wages, strong trade
unions, retirement Insnrsnce. unem-
ployment compensation, and public
assistance for needy aged, the blind,
needy children, and the disabled.
Debt of Gratitude
Ewing told the delegatee that the
U. S. owes its greatest debt of grati-
tude to the American Federation of
Labor "for resisting the enticements
of socialism."
"In my judgment" he said, "no
greater calamity can ever come to la-
bor than have the government become
vour employer and cease to be any-
thing more than the guardian of the
pubiie Interest in labor disputes
"Atl of this has been clear to the
clear-eyed leaders of the American
Federation of Labor. For this your
unlons and their membership and
all America owes yon a great debt
of gratitude it has enabled the AFL
to play a role of outstanding tmpor-
tance in developing our American
war of life."
The federal official reminded the
convention that depressions following
great wars hsvs Invariably started
with falling prices in agriculturs. He
asserted that the reason ths U. S.
escaped a similar fate after World
War n was because of the system of
price supports for farm products
"Instead of the drop In farm prices
of 50 per east in 12 months ss hap-
pened after World Wsr I. prices
dropp*! only 25 per cent in 24 months
after World Wsr IT." Ewing said.
"Support prices put s floor of ne.
eurity under our formers Support
prices gsve them courage to produce
-end participate in our economy of
abundance- with asurance that they
would not go bankrupt trying to feed
us."
when the employer alone decided the
conditions upon which men and wo-
men would work should be eliminated
from public office. Our objective of a
better and ever better day for the
great mass of workers in America
cannot and must not be allowed to tail
because of political inaction on our
part.
"When the 71st convention of the
American Federation of Labor tarns
its face to ths futare, it must do so
with the full realization thst the bal-
lot box is the moot important weapon
which the workers have in their fight
for the continued forward march of
at an international convention.

The General recommended the

giving the government powers of com-

campaign to put them out of business

the major order of business at the an-

The report to ILPA sold that
charges shoula be preferred with

Discussing developments under the

that "with every year of its operation,

Hartley Act and pleaded for labor
unity in his keynote speech opening
the tederation’s 71st convention at
I the Commodore Hotel.
Green told the 800 delegates, rsprs-
senting more than 8,000,000 union
members, that labor would te a "vary
deciding factor" in the November
election and pledged that labor would
use all its political and economic
strength to repeal the "obnoxious,
dirty Taft-Hartley law."
Attitude of candidates on the Taft-
Hartley law will decide AFL support
or opposition. Green made plain.
In ending Ms address. Green rapped
John L Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers, as "the great disruptor
s nd divider of labor" but extended
and divider of labor" but extended
Congress of Industrial Organisations
to "come back home” to the American
Federation of Labor.
Green read a recent statement of
Lewis in which the Mine Workers
chief said labor was weak and ineffec-
tive politically because it was divided.
The AFL president said that he was
glad Lewis had "reached the point in
life where he realises that unity is sa
essential qualification to ths success
of labor " He went on to voice an
urgent appeal for unity, asking that
bygones be bygones and that “we
urge, appeal, coax and beg" Lewis to
return to the AFL.
Martin T. Lacey, president of the
Central Trades snd Labor Council,
reminded the delegatee that the
Democratic platform called for repeal
of the Taft-Hartley Act, while the
Republican platform urged its reten-
tion. He charged that anyone who
voted for a Taft-Hartley supporter
would be guilty of "strikebreaking at
the ballot box."
"Politically speaking, he to cross-
ing the picket line,” Lacey declared.
"Socially, he i stabbing his fellow
workers in the back"
Dewey Gets Laugh
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, welcoming
the convention to New York state, got
a big laugh, when following Lacey’s
speech, he expressed the hope the
convention was not a "Democratic
clambake."
Dewey made no mention of Re-
publican candidates but he warned
the delegates thst the AFL had its
best relations with government when
it "kept its noes clean" insotar as
backing a specine candidate. He ob-
served thst the State Federation of
