Green Hits Congress
At Convention of
D. C.-Maryland AFL
The Maryland-District of Colum
bia Federation of Labor was to
close its three-day convention here
[today after hearing American Fed
eration of Labor President William)
, Green flay Congress in an address
last night.
Speaking before the annual ban
quet at the Sutler Hotel, Mr. Green
declared the AFL is "America’s first
line of defense,” but it is being
“hampered and obstructed by Con
gress.”
He made a prime target of the
Taft-Hartley Act, emphasizing that
[it “makes a mockery of American
freedoms.”
More than 400 delegates heard
their 73-year-old leader tell of the
AFL’s three-point program against
Communist propadanda in the ranks
of labor—“in our own country, in all
Europe outside the Iron Curtain and
South America.
SUlin Goal Cited.
“Stalin's first goal,” Mr. Green
said, “is to capture the trade union
movement of the United States. He
will never succeed in that en
deavor!”
Amplifying his atUck on Congress,
he charged it “has repeatedly played
right into the hands of the Com
munists,” not only because of the
Taft-Hartley ^ct, but for iU fail
ure to:
1. Take action to check rising
prices.
2. Approve vital housing, social
security and minimum wage legisla
tion.
He name® those points as “goals
.we are striving to attain through
an election victory for the cause of
liberalism,” and added a plea for in
creased pay for Government
workers.
Pleads for Support.
Mr. Green pleaded for support
in development of armed prepara
tion. but urged that “we not neglect
to strengthen' and invigorate our
every-day democratic life so that
no enemy philosophy can under
mine and corrupt our internal de
fenses.”
Before last night’s banquet, the
delegates re-elected three top offi
[ cers without opposition. They are:
Harry Cohen, of Baltimore, pres
1 ldent; Robert C. Lester, president
j of the teamsters joint council here,
treasurer, and Frank Coleman, sec
retary of the Washington Central
Labor Union, secretary.
Vice Presidents Named.
Six vice presidents named were:
C. F. Preller and C. B. McCl06ky.
of Washington: Carl Scholtz, Balti
more; Charles E. Stuzman. Cumber
land, Md.: E. W. Butler, of Hagers
town, Md, and Glen Snyder, of
Baltimore.
There were eight candidates for
the six vice presidential posts. One
of those defeated, Charles Hill, col
ored business agent for Hotel Work
ers' Local 80, charged after his de
feat by delegates that “they do not
wish to give recognition to a person
who is colored without regard to his
ability.” The other defeated candi
date was Lister Leisbaugh of Hag
erstown.
Still in committee and scheduled
for possible action today is a reso
lution introduced by Thomas Samp
ler. colored president of Laborers'
Local 74, to create a seventh post of
vice president to be filled by a col
ored member.
Resolutions adopted at yesterday's
sessions included indorsement of
President Truman for re-election,
lifting of the Near East Arms em
bargo and the President’s civil
rights program.
