METAL TRADES DEAL WITH I INDUSTRIAL UNION ISSUE — By Federated Press SAN FRANCISCO— (FP) — Sig nificant of the shift in sentiment on the issue of craft vs- industrial union ism is a compromise adopted by the Metal Trades Department of the A. F- of L. to be proposed at this year’s convention- vhiile retaining the old craft structure, the Metal Trades would set up the industrial form of organization In single plants so that all employees, regardless of craft lines, could be re pres n ted by one body in deling with their immediate araployer. Another feature of the Metal Trades program for this year is the raov* to compel five eastern ship yards, alleged to have a monopoly of naval ship-budding, to observe the N. R A. nd the principle of collective bargaining. John P. Frey, veteran secretary of the department, was elvated to the presidency.

" BUILDING TRADES PEACE EFFORTS FAIL Bv Federated Press FAN FRANCISCO—(FP) — Pres ident Wm- Green's attempt to bring peace to the building trades has fail ed. The issue now will probably pre cipitate a heated battle on the floor floor of the convention. Green’s last-minute efforts were directed toward forcing an agreement by which the three great intemation tils seeking re-affiliation, the brick layers, carpenters and electricians would mke no attempt to farce a chnge in leadership this year. After the delegates seeking re affiliation were excluded, Michael Me Donough. president of the department had no dififculty in maintaining con trol. Be was re-elected for a three year term. William C. O’Neill was re turned as secretary-treasurer. Two former vice-presidents sided with the dlegates who wre refused sats, and rsigned. McDonough men replaced them. k. F. OF L.

The woman was Mrs. Leah Young, •34, who with her sister, Annie Mae j Leathers, 29, was arrested during the textile strike while distributing leaf lets before Exposition Mills in this city. Both women have been tex tile workers for many years. They are charged with “distributing insur reectio nary literature.” The charges against them are based on an old statute passed in 1861, designed to crush slave uprisings, ut was under this law that Angelo Herndon, young Negro organizer of white and Negro unemployed, was sentenced to 18 to ■ 20 yeears on the Georgia chain gang. The attorneys for the defense are | John H. Geer, Negro, who was one of ■ tho attorneys defending Angelo Hem-1 don; Louis Tatham, of Atlanta; and: jC. P- Powell of irmingham. This Is the first time that a Negro lawyer b+3 defended a white woman in the South. The attorneys are employed by the International Labor Defense. The trial is being held before Judge G. H- Howard.

BY TRAVERS CLEMENT ... Federated Press SAN FRANCISCO—(FP)—The Polk Hall wing of the Civic Auditorium scene of the 54th annual convention of the American Federation of La bor, rocked with something besides oratory during the course of the half day session Oct. 2 At 12:25 p. m. when Spencer Miller, Jr-, secretary of the Workers’ Educational Bureau, was in the middle of a talk outlining the educational work of labor insti tutes, one of the severest earthquake shocks in the Bay Region for the past few years, shook the convention hall The shock lasted for about ten ; seconds, and caused considerable com motion throughout the auditorium, Miller, however, never lost a syllabk in the rapid-fire delivery of his mes ;sage of the importance of education, a! work in preparing labor to cope with the complicated problems of s modem industrial society. Presidenl Green, seated beside him on the plat form was net so calm, but cast ar | apprehensive eye at the ceiling as th« tremor continued. Other headline speakers for the daj PRO-PARKER VOTE STILL DOG3 SENATOR HATFIELD NEW YOFK, Oct. 9—Although four years have clasped since U- S. Senator Hatfield of West Virginia voted for he Confirmation of Judge Parker to he U. S. Supreme Court oveT the ob e'-'-'os of his Negro constituents, his action still dogs his pcflitical foot steos. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has ust received a letter from Rivers ones, secretary of Local Union No 004, United Mine Workers of Amer ca. Glen Rogers, W. Va„ asking for nformation on Senator Hatfield’s vote ii the Parker fight. The letter states hat Hatfield “is at present trying to be re-elelcted and is passing as a great friend of labor, also of the Ne race and we want toknow what is true feeling toward the Negro is. Ve would appreciate any information ou would give us regarding this man nd his position on any question ef ecting the Negro race or Labor in eneral. The association has forwarded Mr. Jones full i niformdtion on Senator Hatfield. It will be remembered that Parker was fought also by union labor because of his decisions upholding ‘yellow dog” contracts. were Mrs. Mary E. Rider, president of the International Women’s Trade Union Auxiliary; Max Winter, vice-j mayor of Vienna from 1912 to 1922, who is now in exile; Andrew Furuseth, aged leader of the ilntemational Sea men’s Union. Mrs. Rider spoke for the women of the federation and devoted most f her time to an attempt to offset < nress reports that her sex expected < to play a dominant part in shaping A. F- and L. policy. She promised he utmost cooperation from the wo men delegates, but said they had no iesire to fulfill more than a minor ” role. In graphic terms, Winter portrayed he sufferings of the Austrian work ers, and the terrors of fascism. When Green rose at the close of the ad dress, he faced a solemn and sadden ed audience. Labeling the Austrian government “a vicious dictatorship” Green declared: “We cannot believe injustice will be forever enthroned— some day the tyrants of Europe will have to answer to the people of Ame rica. A great ovation greeted Andrew Furuseth who rose from a sick bed to address the convention. Support ing himself wth one hand upon the speaker’s table and another upon a microphone, the gaunt, grey - haired veteran of the Seaman’s Union spoke with obvious effort. He outlined the slow but steady evolution of the work ers from Slavery to Freedom, lashed out at the Better America Federa. tion and other groups which would crush the protest of the masses, and emphaized the basic Americanism of the organized labor movement as rep resented by th A. F. of L Ovr one hundred resolutions were before the various A. F. and L com mittees as the delegates assembled for the second session. These involv. ed the proposed enlargement of the executive council, the organization of migratory workers, company union ism, various jurisdiction disputes, the move to force though federal legis lation for a shorter work day, old age pensions and unemployment in surance. and numerous other vital issues facing the convention. I' One of the most caustic of these, introduced by I. M. Ombura of the Cigarmakexs International, deals with A, F. OF L. ASKED TO OKEY ANTI- LYNCHING BILL NEW YORK, Oct. 10—Endorsement of a federal anti-lynching law by the convention of the American Federa tion of Labor was asked in a tele gram to the convention in San Fran cisco today by the National Associa tion for the Advancement of Colored People. Walter White, N. A- A. C. P._ secre tary, urged endorsement “to check mob murder which is a form of in timidation designed to continue the separation of white and black labor and the exploitation of both.’” The telegram, addressed to William Green, President of the A. F- of L., also called upon the federation to smash the color line in union labor add warned the federation that it could not hope to win security for white labor as long as it practiced discrimination and L^gregation against black workers. The telegram: “National Association Advancement of Colored calls upon American Fed eration of Labor to abolish segrega tion and discrimination in treatment of Negro workers and warns that Am. ric.an Federation of Labor can never win security for white labor as long as it permits the exclusion of black la bor from unions. The federation’s demand for a square deal for labor is meaningless hypocrisy as long as federation itself denies equality of op portunity to black workers who have borne their share of struggle through out labor history for advancement of labor generally. Smash the color line in the unions before the unions are smashed by the color line. This association urges federation to pass resolution endorsing passage federal inti-lynching law to check mob mur ler which is form of intimidation lesignated to continue separation of tfegro and white labor and expecta ,ion of both.” the recent appointment of S.

At the dose of the morning session, the convention stood adjourned until the following morning/ A sight-see ing trip about the city was planned for the delegates in the afternoon.
