YEOMAN Organizer for the Lumber and Sawmill Worktri Union (AFL) The growth of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers union (AFL) is steadily gaining mo mentum. Thousands of work ers In the lumber Industry are realizing that the L. and S. W. is based on, and practicing, Amcricaniam In the lumber In dustry. Men arc learning that the leaders of the L. and S. W. were not red baiting or witch hunting. The American people and the leaders of industry are fast learning that the wearer of an AFL button Is pretty sure to be an American, who believes in Americanism, and who practices Americanism. The Lumber and Sawmill Workers union Is based on a firm foundation. Wo believe that any American la entitled to his own political rights just as long aa those rights are not exercised to destroy the govern ment which protects , him. We believe that a local union must be run in the Interest of Its membership and that tire offi cers must serve. their member ahip. We believe that a contract la a sacred document and must not be violated. We refuse to com promise with saboteurs of the government during this all im portant defense program. We believe In the American way of living. We support the presi dent of the United States and his respect for American-made laws which do not fit in with the philosophy of the dictator powers. We believe In the policy of protecting the funds of union members, and refuse to use money to encourage unauthor ized, illegal strikes and other disruptive un-Amcrlcan meth ods. It is by practicing these prin ciples, and Insisting that our membership practice them, that we have gained the confidence of the public. Our leaders are men of the highest type. They were all taken from the lumber industry. They know the prob lems of the men and women in the mills and the men In the woods and they know how to fight for them and they do when necessary. Back of the Lumber and Saw mill Workers union is the Unit ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, the old est and richest union in the United States. The first carpen ter union was organized in the colonies in 1724, the Boston tea party was planned in a carpen ter hall. The convention In which the American Federation was born was called by tha car pentcra. , -: The brotherhood has steadily kept up with the changing con ditions, from a craft union it has kept up with the times un til today it is woodworkers union. There are 16 different unions now affiliated with tha brotherhood shipbuilders, fur n 1 1 u r e workers, upholsterers, etc. It Is economically sound. It has steadily helped to better the conditions of workera from its inception. The Lumber and Sswmlll Workers union is affiliated with the carpenters. It Is an indus trial union and has been held so by the national labor rela tions board. We have autonomy self rule) and our Jurisdiction covers every operation In tha mill and the woods which In any way Is connected with tha manufacture of lumber. - BUY FIRST QUALITY Western Giant "Double Duty" at Our Low Exchange Price . . .
