er Governor Is Not
In Sympathy With
Organized Labor

WASHINGTON, Jan. e.-P1-Con-
firmGtion Of Pat ". Neff, former
governor OF Texas, as a member Of
tn United States board Of media
ton. was opposed before the senate
interstate commerce committee today
by representatives Of labor organiza-
tions who commended that Neff was
not in sympathy with the working
man.
Under questioning BY Senator
Watson Of Indiana, chairman Of the
committee. all the witnesses denied
that Texas politics was playing IN
part in the opposition TO Neff.
Senator Mayfield Of Texas opposed
Neff's confirmation before the COM
ilittee in executive session after the
open hearing had been concluded.
Senator Mayfield was defeated in
the Texas primary last summer by
Representative Tom Connally.
Labor Raps Neff
The burden of the opposition to
the former governor as expressed by
n number Of labor representatives
was that he had ~endeavored to "wean
away" employees Of the Texas City
Terminal Railway company from
their various labor affiliations. Mr..
Neff was prepared 70 present his
views but the committee decided to
hear him at a later date.
The principal witness was l.. b.
Kanan, St Joseph, Mo-, international
vice president of the S~witchmen's
union, who said he was representing
nF - --lI.-- -
four railroad brotherhoods.
Kanan testified Neff came TO the
yards of the Texas City Terminal
and talked with employees in an en-
deavor TO have them give up their
union connections and join a COM
pany union organization. He said
Neff never made any effort to get
officials of the company and of the
railroad brotherhoods together on
the question.
"Once." he said, II went with the
governor to the offices of the rail-
road company. i waited outside a
OF the officials office and did
get in"
Opposes Cause, Is Claim
G. w. Laughlin, national legisla-
tive representative of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers. testi-
fled that "in another case" Neff had
not demonstrated "the disposition an
arbitrator should have"
"To continue him would be a detri-
ment TO the cause" Laughlin said.
eff he is assigned to cases again,
the union men would refuse TO ac-
cept him because he will not take rhe
the proper attitude toward laboring
mea."
