TRADE UNIONIST
Likely AS Next Secretary
of Labor

Washington, d. c. U. L. N. 81
That the secretary of labor in the cab
met of President Hoover will be a
labor man of prominence and one at
present active in the trade union
movement appears to be generally
understood in informed circles here.
While only two possibilities have
been mentioned publicly, these being
President William Green, of the A
F. of L., and President William l..
Hutcheson, of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, it is
believed the actual list under con-
sideration includes at least four addi-
tional names.
There is not the slightest available
information as to who finally may
be appointed, but there. is much def
nteness on the point that the ap-
pointee will be an active and promi-
net trade unionist.
