By the Associated Press Leaders of organized labor's ri val functions denounced war be tween nations in Labor day ad dresses. John L. Lewis, CIO president. declared in a broadcast from Og den, Utah, that "labor in America wants no war or any part of war. The idea that war In Europe will involve this country, he said, "is a monumental deception and amounts to a betrayal of national Interest" William Green, AFL head, de clared in his Labor day message that "labor wants peace." Labor Is opposed, he added, "to the In volvement of our nation in Euro pean or other foreign wars. Lewis said the nation's states men, rather than worrying over the, European situation could bet ter spend sleepless nights devis ing a way for one-fourth of Am erica's workers to get jobs at wages that would keep them alive. Declaring that the administra tion's reciprocal trade treaties "ate a snare and a delusion," and that the social security act's pro vision for the aged is only nomin al, he suggested the government use "modern methods of expand ing the exports of surplus com modities. Central and South Am erica," be said, "is capable of ab sorbing all of our excess and sur plus commodities." Green said the voice of labor should be sounded unmistakably for a strict neutrality policy and that the AfL, would continue its fight to strengthen democracy against "isms" whien nave en slaved European workers.
