British Workers Lead Fight Against Nazis To Defend Hard-Earned Rights, Says Leggett

"The great difficulty faced by our labor and industry is the limitation of manpower." Sir Fredrick Leggett, British delegate to the International Labor Conference, stated hurriedly as he left the Littauer Center yesterday afternoon.

Leggett explained that the Conference was created after the last war in association with the League of Nations. America, while rejecting the League itself, joined this special committee at that time.

Before rushing off to attend its present meeting in New York City the British representative stopped long enough to add that "although English workingmen do insist on all their desires being given proper attention, they avoid stopping production." The reason, he said, was simple:

"They realize, more than other section of the country, that defeat means the end of everything they have gained in the way of labor rights."

When asked to compare the American labor set-up with that of his own country, and especially in reference to the Lewis captive coal mine case, Leggett declined to comment.

To the question: "Will Russia's strong anti-Nazi stand have any communistic effect on post-war England?" Sir Fredrick replied that it would have no effect at all. "Besides," he added, who says Russia's communistic?"
