You know. For me. If you have a binding agreement you know in your group of employees should be permitted to avoid them escape the terms of binding agreement no employer should be permitted to just along the terms or impose additional burdens and by so doing the feet the terms of a definite agreement on the other hand labor should not be permitted by any new technique such as matchstick this slowdown are other devices to the feed the terms of an agreement but either or both should invoke the machinery for settlement differences provided in the agreement itself the definite proof that such methods are not good sound labor practice is that when such methods are employed response of all intelligent Labor leaders vow and disapprove of such. But here to Labor leadership as the responsibility to carry out an agreement just as an official in government has a responsibility to enforce the law. And use their responsibility to carry out the terms of your green just added his the responsibility of the offer of a corporation the other party of the good to be agreement to comply and fulfill all requirements. All of these conditions are but a part of the prime station between the period of exploitation want of legal recognition and the disadvantages position in our economy and the present day of equal rightful determined legal standing and equal standing in the queue in the economy of the country. Then clues I have said before a greater responsibility has come with this great apology leadership the management the administration I would rate all goodness nations must be the best and with the highest degree of honesty Labor organizations must be democratic in its form just as is our own government oh Phish shows should be elected as stated involves and responsible to the membership for their acts Pyatt Tyree unions unions which are practically zero by one or two individuals who seldom have bonafide election and rarely defeat in convention a view only elected delegates who determine terms and conditions who make settlements in the greens without the voice of consent of the membership must go all such all those nations have no place in the mix I would like the people which make up the rank and file of American labor the family of workers should not be subjected to hardship by unnecessary stoppie all the employer are subjected to extortion caused by both failing labor it shows itself should be different it's not only to put the finger of scorn but to expose I don't lemonade from its ranks any semblance of section a share of both faith is the means of taking from the pockets of the worker money that they are entitled to all routes adding unnecessary cost on the part of the employer in the form of extortion which adds to the cost of production there has been less and less of both fading of it each year but even one case is just too many. That many employees and things that must be sad and difficult tasks that must be performed now and in the immediate future but is back not true of government of industry of banking. Yes even of international relations ship with other countries big changes are necessary they things have to be done and now at the risk of incurring the displeasure of sound but having in mind only the best interest of the American working men and women to whom I have devoted my entire life I am compelled to say on this almost vicious day that to lead by I should not be divided in this country one great national trade union organization would result to the Great I have this and best interest of the uncocked country. Reviewing the history which brought about the split is not helpful now it is not a question of the A.F.L. value of the CIA Oh but it is the question of what is best for organized labor it is not a question which one of the two should survive if this state of getting into one big strong happy family during the war has been very fine cooperation between the two national organizations that was because of the patriotic impulse the splendid leadership of the national organizations and you have the Latino vol to get work locally that is over now it could choirs of any best minds but it best cooperation the best planning to bring about the changes necessary to create this by the means to make and to establish that new system of work for all and decent living for all. Instead of having an American Federation of Labor and then Congress of Industrial on ization why not get together an established one big powerful inventing national organization let let us call it the any C.L. the American Congress of the of labor Yes I no longer difficulties many real Others not so real the same is true when we have a major merger in government our and internal reorganization in City of our state government I remember when we abolished the five county governments in New York everything was fine until it came the time that many jobs had to go with it then there was regal resistance in fact it was the only argument grazed against the concrete reform law which eventually was passed. I can see that there will be less local officials of local unions as well as less facials generally if there is a merger of the various closely related crash as well as a merger of the two national organization but my friend that is necessary jobs for all is the objective and not artificially maintained jobs for a few local officials some of the older men who have given their lives and to the labor movement might well be pensioned others will have to return to the shop full factory going to trade it may not be possible today or tomorrow but I can tell you now about it will have to bring you have brought a buyout Rivera's soon. And please bear in mind there are other groups in the offing that may argue knives and that my great more difficulties the danger of more controversies result resulting in less production in hand less employment. I now come to what I've been advocating for you is that of steady employment the employer wants to belittle the what if you want security that can be brought about with greater than just the size. To be frank I advocate for employment on an annual basis I have heard all of the arguments I have heard all the answers I still maintain that it is possible in fact I stated it is easy I'm going to submit a plan to some twenty year old twenty four I was standing economists and I tell them they but I want to get their reaction after you have counted when they do I hope to have it ready by the latter part of this month when I finish other matters I now have on my that I think it's going to be simple I say I think it's possible one of my own any other plan steady employment on an angle bases is necessary so you see there's a great big job to be done here is a call to all Americans interested in the prosperity of a country here is a call to all friends of laid back as well as to Labor's own leadership this is a good day to talk about. Labor Day nineteen forty five. When I don't wish peace all country might hear greater. Than ever before I'll concentrate not only the mighty Yes but the recognized leader for a better world quite happy aware of what I know what. And I have done that before and I closed I told you I was going to see the picture. The True Blood. Is picture of me. And the control room supervision by the United States government and the government of Great Britain by our forces in the armed forces of great that when I saw that picture it's a great picture. You all should see it it opens on the seventh act of the. Theater on Broadway Personally I don't think the theater is big enough it only only about five or six hundred people I don't know I don't particularly like the agency of distribution. But the government has selected it so we want all the help and that picture should be and I hope it will be exhibited in every moving picture house of the city of New York. And I would like to see I want all New Yorkers to see it as all Americans see it.
