Adams, Con- sultant and Conciliator I. H. C; Building and Common Laborers Union.of America, was present on Dehalf of the Commen Labor move- ment in Monroe County. Adams talk was very enlighten- ing as to the proper procedure in organizing Common Labor. He al- so stressed the fact that the Cen- tral organization should and could lend a guiding and helpful hand to those really desirous of organiz- ing under the International Broth- erhood. As the Central Labor Un- ion is representative of all Local Crafts in this area, they are nat- urally interested in all Labor and invites all nora ag to request, through ards of any Craft, meeting with the Central Labor Union, to discuss their problems. This Organization would like to state, that, if any groups or indivi- duals present themselves as labor organizers and solicits payment for membership, refer them to Central Labor Union for indorse- ment first. In that way you can be assured-it is legitimate. Presi- dent Jimmy Hanson states, “We will be glad to cooperate.” © Eisenhower To New York For Banquet Speech By D.

Morgan and Duke, the report said, exchanged “code” messages about tax cases and prospects for more tax cases. It said, however, that Morgan denied having any code arrangement with Duke.
