As Pveryuib( knows, the International Labor Org'anization was a creation of the first great war, It was erected as an after-thought on the sug- gestio/1 of Samuel Gompers and has func- tioned possibly with more vigor as the League of Nations than the real League. Its force in national affairs is indicated by the fact that Ernest Bevin, who has attended frequent conferences of the IL.0, at Gneva, is now Minister of Labor of Great Britain, and John Halls- worth, who was the British representa- tive recently on the governing board, is president of the British Trade Union Con- gress.

RESOLUTION

In view of the fact that a national situation has arisen in which a great and unified effort must be made for total defense; inasmuch as such effort must enlist the determined and full- hearted support of every man, woman and child; inasmuch as this effort depends in large part upon the skill, competence and cooperation of America's work force; and furthermore, that this effort depends in large part upon an uninterrupted pro- duction of electrical power; upon keeping navigable streams open; and upon production of nitrates, and other munitions; now, therefore, be it known that the Tennessee Valley Trades and Labor Council, representing more than 10,000 employees, skilled and semi-skilled workers, does hereby pledge the Ten- nessee Valley Authority and the government of the United States, determined and full-hearted support in the great national effort; and cooperation will not only extend to 100 per cent necessary production, but to the rooting out of every form of sabotage and subversive influence. This resolution is the unanimous action of this Council as a manifestation of willing and rational American patriotism and unionism.
