Lewis Declares Labor Day This Year Has Greater Importance Than Ever By John L. Lewis, President of the United Mine Work- ers of Amerien. (Written for the United Press) Labor Day this year undoubtedly has n deeper significance for the mem- bers of the organized lubor movement ment than in any other year since Labor Day was instituted. We a all painfully wware of the terr Duginess and industrial - depression through which not only the people of America but of the world are now parsing, Wo know that Iabor has carried more than its just share of the burden of the depression that followed the closing of the most gigantic and de- spructive war in the history of the world, Wo know that labor has pnid and is still paying more than its just share of the price at which the safoty of civilization has purchused in that war, Not only.are we fully cognizant of all of these outstanding facts, but wo point with unbounded pride to the splendid record of Inbor in these try- ing years. Without the benefit of a compuct body of organized workers in Americn, fully determined to do their patriotic duty, the war could not have been won, for it was only through the combined, steady, sustained efforts of Inbor that fuel, food and war sup- plies were produced with which to wage and win the combat. Let us, therefore, on this Lubor Day turn our thoughts to what it all means Lo Ameriea and the world, Let ench working man tell himself the story of Inbor's record. It will make him a better and stronger union man than he ever wus before. Let each mun and woman in the labor move- ment reeall to mind the fundamental prineiples upon which the lubor union movement is founded, for those prin- ciples are as sound as the rocks of the mountains and as fundamental as the air we breathe. The lnbor movement stands for all that is good and just and fair in industry. Be- causo it stands for these supreme ideals it should and must have the woman who works, Fortunate, in« deed, are we, the millions who are members of labor unions, that we are able on this Labor Day to boast our membership, On this, Labor’s holi- day, we show to the world that the trade union movement retains its vi- in his forces today. Federal troops had not arvived here. Officlals expressed fear that the defense could not hold out against the miners’ attack. (By United Pross) Logan, W.
