Woll Heads Committee To Raise $1,000,000 For
Labor Abroad
New York City—Matthew Woll,
vice-president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, announced the for
mation of a Free Trade Union Com
mittee by the Labor League for Hu
man Rights, relief arm of the AFL,
for the purpose of raising a minimum
of $1,000,000 from AFL members dur
ing January, 1945, to aid in the re
establishment of independent demo
cratic trade unions in Europe and
South America.
According to the formal statement
issued by Mr. Woll, who is president
of the Labor League for Human
Rights and will be chairman of the
newly organized committee, this move
is an outgrowth of the American Fed
eration of Labor's conviction that
"without a free trade union move
ment, it will be impossible to rebuild
a democratic Europe."
"A permanently crashed labor
movement abroad," the statement de
clares, "will mean that we have failed
to win the war of ideas that we have
been fighting against Nazism and
Fascism."
Pointing out the probable effects
of such a failure on American labor,
American industry, and the future
peace of the world, Mr. Woll warned
that "forced and impoverished labor
in Europe will lead to the flooding of
world markets with cheap commodi
ties. It will be a threat to American
industry and will inevitably result in
a dangerously lowered standard of
living for American workers. Beyond
all this, the existence of forced and
impoverished labor in Europe will set
the stage for violent economic, con
flicts which cannot but lead to a third
world war."
"The American Federation of Labor
now constitutes the most powerful and
vigorous democratic labor organiza
tion in the world," he continued. "It
is to us that the workers of Europe
are looking for the vitally needed
practical assistance that must be
forthcoming if their trade unions are
to be speedily and democratically re
built.
"In accepting this task, the AFL
recognizes that organized workers
asywhere have a moral right and ob
ligation to assist their fellow work
ers everywhere. More than that, it
has been made evident through the

tragic events of the. p&at decade- thai
free trade union movements are the
strongest bulwarks of peaceful and

restoration of Europe's free trade
unions will be the most effective way
to maintain existing high living stand
ards of American workers, since it will
eliminate the ruthless competition re
sulting from oppressed, underpaid,
slave or forced labor abroad*

At the same time, the executive
committee of the League, meeting in
New York as the drive opened, called
upon international unions and central
labor bodies to "extend their generous
and wholehearted support" in this
democracy in Europe for a century to|
come," the statement concludes.
The entire membership of the AFL,|
Mr. Woll said, will be mobilized fori
the January drive of the Free Trade I
Union Committee. Fluids will be rais-|
ed by local unions of the AFL, I
through the fund-raising apparatus ofl
the Labor League for Human Rights,!
which includes hundreds of local I
Labor League committeeman over the|
country, as well as twenty-two re
gional directors. This is the samel
fund-raising apparatus which in the
past two years has helped raise al
most $70,000,000 from AFL members I
for distribution to the National War I
Fund, Community Chests, and the
American Red Cross through the
United Nations Relief Committee of
the League.
year's campaign. The executive-com*-1
mittee's resolution said:
"This year the American Federa-I
tion of Labor, through the LaborI
League for Human Rights, is under
taking its third campaign on belalfl
of Community War Chests, its second I
on behalf of the National War Fund. I
In the campaigns of 1942 and 1943,
members of the American Federation
of Labor have made an autstanding
record as generous contributors to war I
relief and community causes, and theyl
have, in these two years, taken anl
increasingly actiye and responsible
part in the governing cemmitteas of|
Community and War Chests.
"Now, with victory approaching in I
Europe, both the opportunities for ex
tending relief abroad, and the moral
obligations for such relief, are greater!
than ever. In addition to supporting!
general relief activities in the liber-1
ated countries, organized labor is pre
paring an independent relief program,!
to be sponsored by the free and demo
cratic trade union movements of these I
countries. This program will aidl
workers rescued from concentration
camps or from forced labor. It will
establish homes for destitute war or-1
phans. It will bring immediate and I
urgently needed assistance to.WQ?k£rs|
who were once enslaved.
"For this reason, and because of
increased needs among our armed I
forces and on the home front, the
executive committee of the League is
confident that the international .unions!
and central labor bodies affiliated with I
the American Federation of Labor will I
continue to extend their generous and
wholehearted support to this year's
Wajr Gfesst Campaign."
