POLITICAL ACTION

“The workers cannot depend
on economic ‘action alone to
achieve the best results for
themselves. They must have
properly planned political ac-
tion to prevent legislation be-
ing enacted which would take
away from them all they have
fought to gain on the economic
front”, This was the declara-
tion of International President
James E. Fadling in an ad-,
dress to members of Local 1-80,

dent, Joe Morris; first vice-pre:
dent, John T. Atkinson; second

cluded.
