FEDERATION OF LABOR
WELL |NTRENCHED IN new DEAL

They looked around for a savior and
they found the A. F. of L. offieialdom
solid against communism or any other
form of ~radicalism, reluctant even, at
the Cincinnati convention, to indorse
compulsory unemployment insurance.
According to a vice-president of the
A. F. of L. whose headquarters are
not in Washington, "We got in there
by playing up the red menace"
@ss
The A. F. of l.. was not departing
from its postwar position in opposing
the principles of communism. 1t was
simply reaffirming its well-known
stand which gave it a supreme advan-
tage in dickering with the panicky
employer-government. It has won in
the d~ickering but it is running the
risk of such bargains. 1t must deliver
genuinely higher wages and genuine
ly better conditions to the workers be-
cause Of its inside position at Wash
ington or become seriously discredit-
ed as a genuine labor organization.
Compromises with the openshoppers
through a desire to be loyal to the
new deal will not go down with the
strikers who may be forced or wheed-
led back to work. Approval of indif-
ferent codes when a stiff fight could
produce real increases for the men
and women employed in the various
industries will eventually spell dis
aster.
That is the danger confronting the
higher officials of the A. r. of L. A
militant rank and file, pushing the Of
ficials to more and more advanced
positions in the eternal struggle
against the employers, whether under
the New Deal or any other deal, will
save it from the risk of degeneration
and collapse.

MITCHELL WILL
COME BACK SAYS
WALL STREET
May Return to the Old
Bank From Which He
Was Forced to Step
Out

New York, June 23-(UP)--
Wall street to-day expected Charles
u. Mitchell, former head Of the
National City bank, to rapidly re.
gain his position as q dominant
leader In American banking. He
was acquitted in federal court yes
terday on q charge Of evading IN
come tax payment.
While his exoneration Of Grim.
inal charges was complete, United
States Attorney Medalie, who
prosecuted him, said the treasury
department could file civil suit
against him for the Ssb0,000 the
government claimed he avoided
paying In 1929 and 1880, income
taxes.
Some observers speculated on
the possibility Of Mitchell's "conte-
back" involving q return to his
former duties as chairman OF the
National City bank, or as o d.
rector Of the bank. Mitchell owns
$4,000 shares Of National City bank
stock, worth about e1,08b,000 mt
yesterdays quotation--an interest
large enough to entitle him to rep
resentation as q director. The
stock at present 10 held BY J. p.
Morgan & Co. as collateral for q
$5,St2,53s loan.
II was pointed out that after
his resignation the directors OF
National City appointed James II.
Perkins chairman Of the board but
did not invest him with MITCHELL
powers as chairman Of the bank
and nfliliates.
The financial district expressed
It's approval OF the acquittal by
ovations for Mitchell during O visit
to his old surroundings.
Medalie said the verdict was "in.
teliigefit."
"of course we accept H." he
said.
