Labor Organization leader Blanchard

Speaks at ‘Student

By Don Winney

What may be another Grin-
nell tradition, the student-less
coffee hour, was held Wednes-
day afternoon in South Lounge
Three students and th0 re
porters gathered to hear David

of the Washington, D, C
branch of the lLO (lnternatio

and the pre-law club.

ILO tried to establish an inter

for cooperative action to pre-
vent social unrest, the ILO first
concentrated in the industrial
nations, where labor conditions
often fed political turmoil.

James Mitchell has Called the

strongest weapons against coma
munist actions and ideas.”

Today, affiliated with the UN,
the 11.0 is increasingly con—

omies of underdeveloped coun-
