By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., August 30.— A campaign of the American Federation of Lakhor for a membership of 5,000,000 will be launched on Labor day, the fed- eration’s executive council announced today. President Samuel Gompers has issued | ! an appeal to labor throughout tne coun- try to rally on Labor day in public gatherings for “inspiring public ad- dresses and distribution of literature of our movement.’ “The_time has coe for labor to as- sume the aggressive,”” said his appeal. “We have held the line. Our positions are intact. It is the hour for a great forward movement. Set Labor day as the day upon which we cease hoiding the line and begin to move forward in a great resistless wave. Plans Speaking Tour. Mr. Gompers will make a speaking tour ‘of the principal cities. His first address will be in Baltimore on Labor y. The campaign has been ordered by the council because of the recent slump in membership of the federation due to unemployment. The present member- ship s given as 3,906,528, as compared with 4,078,740 in 1920. The council, which has been in session here for a week, expected to complete its business today. The open-shop campaign and the “aggressive hostility of unfair em- ployers” have strengthened rather than weakened the solidarity of the or- ganized labor movement, it was de- clared in a statement last night by the executive Council of the American Federation of Labor. The council based its decision, the statement said, upon reports submitted, by affiliated national and internationil unions and other information collected throughout the country. Unemployment Cuts Revenue. Analysis of the reports, the state- ment said, showed that a reduction in payment of dues by the federation’s membership was due principally to the wave of unemployment through- out the country. Secretary Frank Morrison took occasion to deny reports published today that the federation has suffered a slump of 750,000 mem- bers during the present industrial crisis. Morrison referred to figures announced at the Denver convention, which showed a decrease of 172,212 | Hope was still expressed that the ma- members during the past year, but de- | JOrity of the bodies of the airmen who clined to give any figures on the pres. | 08t their lives in the accident would ent membership. recovered.
