AFL VS. CIO ON THE COAST
Though the fight in steel centers the national labor
interest at the present time, the voting of woodworkers
and longshoremen on the west coast is directing con
siderable attention to whether the Committee of Indus
trial Organization or the American Federation of Labor
is going to prevail in labor circles in the west and north.
It is probable that which ever wins domination down
the coast will have the upper hand in Alaska.
Analyzing the situation on the coast for the New
York Times. Richard L. Neuberger of Portland pictured
the current conflict between the two labor divisions in
these words:
The battle lines have been formed for a bitter
struggle, and already representatives of both the A. F.
of L. and C. I. O. have come to the Northwest to champ
ion their respective causes.
Around five men revolves the conflict which may
decide the course of the labor movement in the West.
Two of these are advocates of the A. F. of L. and two
are supporters of the C.I.O. The fifth is somew'hat un
decided. The marshall of the A.F. of L. legions in the
Northwest is Dave Beck, international vice president
of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and sometimes called
the “boss’ of Seattle. He led the recent drives that eject
ed from the labor councils of Seattle and Portland
longshoremen’s unions which defied craft jurisdictional
lines. The second A.F. of L. leader is William Hutch
eson, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America. He is determined to block a march
of the sawmill and timber workers into the C.I.O.. which
he has denounced as a “fad that will wear off.”
The main C.I.O. advocates in the region are Harry
Bridges, president of the Pacific Coast Longshoremen’s
and John Brophy, one of Lewis’s principaT^des. They
crossed the country together from Washington, after
Mr. Bridges had conferred with Mr. Lewis. The fiery
and thin Mr. Bridges is expected to urge the Maritime
Federation to break away from the A.F. of L. Mr.
Brophy will probably present a personal appeal from
Mr. Lewis to the representatives of the 40.000 men who
load and man ships on this seaboard.
Between these two battle lines in Harold Pritchett,
young president of the Woodworkers’ Federation, an
organization of about 100,000 men in logging industry
of the Far Northwest. Mr. Pritchett is definitely com
mitted to an industrial form of unionism, and his follow
ers are banded together along those lines. Whether he

will urge affiliation with the C.I.O. is still a moot ques
tion, although in recent weeks he has denounced the
alleged raids on his membership by “reactionary craft
unions.”
The Maritime Federation convention has ordered
a referendum to decide whether to stay with the A.F. of
L. or join the C.I.O. Mr. Hutcheson, Mr. Beck and other
A.F. of L. leaders express confidence that the organiz
ation they championed would weather the gale. But
C.I.O. advocates contend that the secession of the Mari
time Workers and the timber unions would leave the
A.F. of L. in the Northwest primarily an organization
of teamsters. Because the longshoremen wedge of the
Maritime Federation has broken so far away already,
the aciion of the woodworkers is believed the more im-:
portant of the two. Logging is the Northwest’s para-!
mount industry and abdication from the A.F. of L. of
the sawmill and timber workers would virtually make
the John L. Lewis forces the dominant labor organiza
tion in the vast 400.000-mile area of the Columbia
River basin.
When he retires. Justice Van Devan ter will return
to his farm, and on his retirement pay of $20,000 a year
he ought to be able to break even, that is unless he starts
raising poultry.—Ohio State Journal. ,
Now that Congress is talking of whittling down
expenses, maybe something plight be done about the re
lief gold-brickers. A good, appropriate slogan might
be—“Soak the sponges!”—Boston Herald.

"TOKYO, July 17. — Solemn
prayers for the souls of 100,0001
bullfrogs sacrificed for experiment j
al purposes in the past year were
offered by high priests of the
Dasa Buddhist temple.
The rites were in keeping with
the Buddhist belief that all things
animate or inanimate posses souls
or spiritual qualities.
The services were performed
with chants, the souding of gongs
and the burning of incense which
the chief abbot explained would
comfort the frogs’ spirits.
