Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Joint Report of the Executive Council and Officers to the Fifty-Eighth Annual Convention of the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor: Boston, Massachusetts, August 2, 1943
As a member of the Executive Council it has been a pleasure to have served during the year. Many pressing problems were brought to our atten tion, which we hope have been handled to the satisfaction of all trade unionists.
I have attended many meetings of unaffiliated unions during the year, educating them to the need of their assisting the Federation in carrying on the ground work performed by our predecessors and in combating the seeming trend away from our own American Federation of Labor.
While the Federation has not met with much success on Beacon Hill this year, as to obtaining much-needed legislative betterments, it has been fortu nate in defeating several vicious anti-labor measures which would have placed Labor back 50 years in (massachusetts. While many other state legislatures have adopted anti-labor measures, we in Massachusetts proved conclusively that our record [has been one of the best in the nation and that no legislation was necessary to keep Labor in line. Labor in Massachusetts [has given up its right to strike during the war and has kept its pledge. Its record is clean. Not only have we given our money in the War Bond drives, and our men to the armed forces, but we have given unceasingly of our strength in many hours of toil.
