The American Labor Committee to Aid British Labor (ALCABL) was a vehicle for US trade union supporters of Britain prior to US entry into the Second World War. According to Special Operations Executive Agent Sydney Morrell it was a British controlled front.[1]

ALCABL was organised in March 1941, during a US visit by the TUC's Sir Walter Citrine. Thomas E. Mahl suggests that its chairman, Matthew Woll may have been a British intelligence contact.[2]
