tion of Labor president.
All unions were cautioned not
to be misled-by the words, "Labor
Division",of the American League
for a Free Palestine, in a joint
statement by ..Toseph Breslaw,
chairman, and Max Zaritsky,
chairman of the executive com-
mittee, of the American Trade
Union Council of the National
Committee for Labor Palestine.
Breslaw is vice-president of the
International Ladies - Garment
Workers' Union and Zaritsky is
pteSident of the United Hatters,
Cap and Millinery Workers.
They said the statement was
made to clarify a situation where-
by the "Labor Division" claims
to have the endorsement of Wil-
liam Green, American Federa-
"William Green informed us
officially that he has never en-
dorsed the American League for
a Free Palestine," they said. "He
merely forwarded a greeting to
one_of its meetings."
The sole purpose of the Amer- 4 ,
dean League, the -statement said,
is to aid the Irgun.
The National Committee for
Labor Palestine and its Ameri-
can Trade Union Council are the
only bodies recognized by the
Histadrut as well as by the AFL
and CIO.
