UNDIVIDED SUPPORT
FOR AMERICAN EFFORT PLEDGED BY TWO GREAT LABOUR BODIES. IMPRESSIVE & SIGNIFICANT DEMONSTRATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) NEW YORK, April 8. A Pittsburgh message states that, beginning a joint drive for maximum war production, American Federation of Labour and Congress of Industrial Organisation leaders, representing ten million organised workers, united in an impressive demonstration of labour solidarity at a mass meeting of over 5,000 members of both organisations. Messrs P. Murray and W. Green (presidents of the C. 1.0. and Federation of Labour) pledged Labour’s undivided support of the war effort, based on a programme of no strikes and the greatest possible output. It was the first time since the split in the ranks of organised labour in 1935 that the leaders of the two groups had appeared together on a public platform. The event is regarded as historically significant in its contribution to victory, as well as pointing to the possibility of an eventual joining of the two organisations.
