GOMPERS LAUDS CONGRESS
weddation President Says 1916 Brings
Eonfidence In Trade Union Move.
Eight-Heyr Day Beccming General,
Ninety-two labor laws have been
passed by congress and state legis
latures during the last legislative year,
according to a survey made public by
the Amerioan Association for Labor
Legislation. i
“The most significant item in this
ilegislation,” says thé secretary, Dr.
John B. Andrews, “are two national
laws, one prohibiting the shipment in
interstate or foreigk commerce of cer
tain products’ in the preparation of
‘which the labor of children has ‘been
employed, and the other providing a
* model scale of werkmen’s compensa:
tion for personal injuries among fed
eral employees, of which there are
now more thar 480,000.
“Several hundred labor bills wer:
introduced into oongress this year,’
Dr. Andrews adds, “while eleven stats
legislateres in spite of ‘reaction’
ground out their full share of the an
nual grist.”
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, made
public in Washington a state
ment on “Labor's Achievements and
Issues” for 1946, im which he- char
acterized the .past year ‘as a memark-
movement, especially in the shorten-
ing of the working day and in general
labor legislation. :
“Labor. day, 1918 says Mr. Gom-
pers, “brings to the workers of Amer:
ica the right to cheer and confidence
in the trade union movement. There
