To ALL ALPA Members - 6 July 22, 1948

We didn't cause this strike, but it's ours to win. There must be no let-up. Headquarters will drive relentlessly to bring the matter to an early successful conclusion in the final step, which is the revocation hearing before the Civil Aeronautics Board. 

In the interim, let us not fall behind, nor become lackadaisical in the payment of our National strike assessments. We must continue to pitch just as hard now as we did at the beginning and continue to demonstrate to G.T. Baker, in this and in every other way, that we don't intend to falter nor lessen the tempo of any of our efforts, and that every air line pilot is 100% in back of the National Airlines pilots in this battle until it ends successfully. The rallying slogan for the National pickets in the air and on the ground is -
"THE TIME THE STRIKE EFFORT MUST BE THE STRONGEST IS THE DAY THE STRIKE ENDS SUCCESSFULLY."
This must become the on-to-victory slogan of all air line pilots. And to the ALPA members domiciled at National's division points, don't forget to remember to "GIVE ONE DAY A MONTH TO THE NATIONAL PILOTS ON STRIKE."
With a world of good wishes, I am
Sincerely your,
AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION
[[SIGNATURE]]
