JOHN L. LEWIS I International President of the United Mine Workers of America and Chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organization. Since last Labor Day industrial its power may be effectively exerworkers and the nation as a whole cised to that end. It seeks to organize labor that have suffered from a sudden and its may be respected in the pronounced depression. Such move playrights economic institutions our of ments gather momentum as they and counsels may be reits that move on. One after another the barriers to deflation are broken down. Money goes into hoarding and credit disappears when most needed; workers are discharged, wages cut, farm commodity prices fall, family reserves are exhausted and the buying power of the masses dries up. Men may dispute over the relative causes of these economic reverses, but it cannot be denied that the one that began last fall was hailed with unveiled gratification by privileged wealth and its reactionary retainers. At its conference last September, the Committee for Industrial Organization gave warning of the impending depression and called upon government to' take timely steps to reverse the movement and to mitigate its evils. While the debates went on over corporate taxes and government guaranty of mortgages, the Committee for Industrial Organization and Labors League organized public demand for federal relief for the unemployed and destitute, and for renewed governmental participation in public works. Already this program, belatedly adopted, is turning us into the direction of renewed prosperity. But the C. I. 0. is committed to a broader policy for promoting a sound economic balance in our country. It stands for a fairer sharing in the national income by both fanners and industrial workers. It seeks to mobilize labor that Non-Partis- an spected in the functioning of our political institutions. It seeks no change in either, but believes that under both there can be more justice done to those who toil. The C. I. 0. was born of the complacency and inertia of those who had so long assumed direction of the labor movement in America, who insisted that labor unions must be patterned on craft distribution and who denounced as heretical any effort towards industrial organization. They have met our efforts to organize the unorganized with sneers, reprisals, sabotage and vilification. Professing a desire for unity, they have engaged in a civil war to destroy the labor movement which the C. I. 0. has carried to such extraordinary success. They have denounced labor (Continued on Page 6, Sec. 1) LABOR ON ITS . FORWARD MARCH REAL SILK RENEWS PACT WITH C I. 0. UNION INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.

' TEXT OF MESSAGE Following is the text of the Labor Sunday Message, The recent World Conference of Churches at Oxford described our day as a time when mankind is oppressed with perplexity and fear. Men are burdened with evils almost insupportable and with problems apparently insoluble. Even in countries which are at peace, unemployment and malnutrition sap mens strength of body, mind, and spirit. In other countries war does its devils work, and threatens to overwhelm us all in its limitless catastrophe. It is heartening in such a day that the Church is affirming the Word of God with new definiteness and courage, and that throughout the churches an increasing concern (Continued on Page 2, Sec. 1) v r ar -- and or him-(Continu- ed |
