other in more than mere methods
of labor organization, and in the
use of labor weapons to better the
status of workers in the economy.
In 1936, the Committee on In
dustrial Organization, representing
ten industrial unions with a com
bined membership of approximate
ly a million workers, broke off
from the American Federation of
Labor on the i3sue of industrial
versus trade unionism. The A. F.
of L. had been the most important
single labor organization in this
country, prior to the secession led
by ex-coal miner John L. Lewis.
For some time, William Green,
federation president, had looked
upon the formation of a rival la
bor union as meaningless and re
mained steadfast in his belief that
the departed unions would soon
return to the fold. Dissident un
ions were first suspended from
membership in the federation, then
read out of the organization. Per
sonal recriminations flowed fast
and furiously between Green and
Lewis and great animosity was
born between them. Each distrusts
the other, and arbitrating between
men so violently opposed to the
aims and characters of each other
as are the rival labor organiza
tion heads, does not hold out
great hope for future peace.
From 1920 to 1930 the American
Federation of Labor was .quite inT
active, making little attempt at
organization of workers. It relied
on the strike, the boycott, and
other weapons of collective bar
gaining but slightly and only un
der direst strain. With the advent
of the C. I. O. labor forces" be
came much more active, and their
methods, while oft condemned,
have been most effective. In 1930,
the American Federation claimed
over 3.000.000 members on their
both A. F. of I and "C. I. O. claim
over 3,000,000 members of their
respective rolls. It should be noted,
however, that the treat majority
of workers in this country are
still unorganized, particularly un
skilled labor groups, agricultural
workers, and the various groups
of women in industry.
The past few years the Roose
velt administration has taken an
active part in promoting social
legislation, including some acts
particularly to the benefit of the
general laboring class, such as
the Wagner labor relations act, N.
L. R. B. decisions, and wages and
hours provisions of the N. R. A.
and social security laws.
It is to be hoped that for the
sake of the labor croups which
both Mr. Green and Mr. Lewis
represent that some labor har
mnnv and neace can be secured
and then maintained. But it is
quite possible that these men, each
ipnioiis of the other, and de
termined not to "lose face," will
fail to reach some common meet
ing ground. American labor will
never be as strone as is British
labor until this harmony has been
achieved, but the present leaders
nt rivwl labor organizations seem
more interested in their own per-
. .. ... a
sonal futures than in tne nopes oi
tVir.tr nrennirntirms Peace must be
had if labor is to progress, yet
quite possibly some 'dam norse
must arise within the labor groups
if that peace is to be had. Mr.
Lewis and Mr. Green may meet,
but the chances do not favor their
accord on how such labor har
mony is to be had. It is no longer
the employer class tnat depresses
the position of labor, it is the
leadership with which labor has
blessed itself.

to Broadway to play for his 1929
review, "Strike Up . the Band."
Tying up with Bennie Goodman
in 1934, the crusader began to re
place the saxophone, favorite
swing instrument in the 20's, and
the clarinet, the standby of Dixie
land, with his own style arrange
ments on the skins.
Of special interest are his three
attitudes he displays while playing
The first, his deadpan stare, re
sembles a poker face and is used
whenever slow music is being
played. His right field grimace is
featured when the music begins to
swing, and makes him appear like
the batter squinting at the ball.
His last face is a rhythmic bounce
which he displays when he pounds
the tones out hard and fast.

Government needs economic
geographers, says Bengtson
Economic geographers are in
premium demand for the new fed
eral government projects, says Dr.
Nels A. Eengtson, chairman of
the department of geography, in
an article published in the current
number of the Business Education
World. Problems of resettlement,
subsistence homesteads, water
power projects, shelterbelt, tree
planting, agricultural control and
retirement of submarginal lands
are calling geographers into the
government service.
Dr. Bengtson is a nationally
recognized geographer, and each
summer teaches graduate and un
dergraduate courses in economic
geography at Columbia university.
Geography, he says, is generally
considered to be concerned with
the study of areas or regions. But
such study must not be merely
descriptive; it must also be ex
planatory and interpretative.
Integration necessary.
In order to carry on investiga
tions in this field, related sciences
must be drawn upon and their re
sults integrated into a systematic
whole. Such integration, he be
lieves, demands an understanding
of the elements and principles of
such closely related sciences as
geology, botany and agronomy.
"Economic geography, more
over, has an unusual function to
fulfill in our present educational
setup," Dr. Bengtson states. "It
serves as the interpreter of the
relationships existing between the
natural environment and man in
the production and distribution of
wealth. The business man, in or
der to succeed in the highest de
gree, must learn to know the
world better, and toward that end
the economic geographer must de
vote attention to the leadership
expected of him in research and in
teaching."
