Federation Opens Meet

Oregon Federation of Labor
leaden condemned Communists
and fifth columnists, endorsed
the national defense program
and hoped for international
peace today at the opening ses
sion of the 38th annual conven
tion. . .
"We hope it will be possible
for this country to stay out of
war," said President Paul E.
Gurske to about 300 delegates
"The economic depression which
may be expected to follow our
participation would be of pro
portions never experienced In
this country. It might well be
so grave as to challenge the
stability of our political sys
tem." Expose Is Remedy
"Local unions may well scan
the activities of these labor
fifth column forces and apply
the proven, etvective remedy
expose the individuals and their
purposes, for otherwise unions
will be destroyed," Dell E. Nlck
erson, executive secretary,
warned in his annual report.
"Labor, by bitter experience,
knows the annoyance and dam
age which can be done by Com
munists. For 20 years they
have Indulged In the same prac
tices against organized labor
and they now will transfer
against government enterprise.
Fortunately most of the Stalin
ists left the AFL and joined the
dual (labor) movement soon
after it organized.
"But there are a few Instan
ces in which the borers-from-within
are still trying to oper
ate In the AFL, the purpose
now being to weaken them In
the hope they may be supplant
ed by unions in the dual movement."

HUMAN ASCENT IN A

BLITZKRIEG IN AIR
One hundred and fifty-seven years ago Benjamin Franklin witnessed in Paris the first
balloon ascent made by man (Pllaira da Rosier and Marquis d'Arlandes, Not. 20, 1783). So
Impressed was he thai he soon wrote:
"The discovery might give a new turn to human affairs. . . Five thousand balloons,
capable of raising two men each, could not cost more than five ships of the line, and
where Is the prince who can afford so to cover his country with, troops for the defense, as
that 10,000 men descending from the clouds might not in so many places do an infinite deal
of mischief before a force could be brought together lo repel them?
