Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fifty-Eight Annual Convention of the Massachusetts State Federation of Labor: August 2-6, 1943 We know that his work is even greater than this, for we know that he has accomplished this national record without the lowering of any trade-union standard, which means that children and scabs are not used to provide cheap labor for greedy employers. We know that he has kept faith with the men and women in the trade union movement, which has so often honored him.
