ATTACK ON U.S. MANPOWER LEGISLATION
(By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright.)
(Received January 20, 8.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, January 20. The proposed national service legislation was attacked at a meeting of the executive council of the American Federation of Labour. The council in a statement said that, though the A.F.L, had submitted voluntarily to a number of wartime controls, it would never surrender the basic freedom of American workers.
“Fundamentally it is a war between freedom and slavery, a war of free workers against slavq workers. We believe that in freedom there is strength. The amazing speed with which the free workers won the battle of production upholds that principle.”-
