Sees Battle
WASHINGTON (UPI) - AFL

und congressional reactionaries
lor survival of the American la
bor movement.
He called on union members
Thursday night to resist the
"gravest attacks" on organized
labor since pre-New Deal days.
Meany's appeal underscored
previous warnings by Labor Sec
retary James P. Mitchell and
Federal Mediation Director Jo
seph F. Finnegan that 1960 will
be a year of sharp labor-manage
menl strife.
"We face new challenges at the
bargaining table, on the picket
line, in the legislative halls, at
the polls and in international af
fairs," the AFL-CIO chief said in
a year-end statement.
There Is every indication of a
united effort by reactionaries in
big business to destroy long-established
union safeguards over
working conditions, job security
and individual rights," he said.
'A coalition of reactionaries in
Congress is planning new re
strictions on legitimate unions
and the frustration of our pro
gram for the nation's progress.'
