End Hysteria Labor Pleads For Calm
Washington labor leaders from 16 railroad brotherhoods representing about 2 million workers demand Congress stay in session during the crisis and end hysteria. In a spokesman piece titled Labor they warn against stampeding decisions and urge calm, patriotism, and a focus on defense. Senators from both parties echo calls for restraint while debating wartime provisions and the risks of rapid escalation. They caution that war decisions cost lives and generations, urging America first and measured action rather than panic.
