GREEN CHARGES
COERCION Of VOTE
Steel Plant Workers lndi-
Gated Company Domina-
tion, Says A.F. l.. Head.

BY the Associated Press.
William Green, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, as
serted last night that workers elec-
tions held in steel plants on adoption
of company unions represented "a
vote of fear, of coercion and OF in
tlmidatlon.'
In statement, Green said:
If the returns of workers elections
rs announced by the steel corpora
tions recently, are correct, a perfect
state of satisfaction prevails among
the workers employed in the steel
industry. It was announced that
more than 90 per cent of the workers
voted for the adoption of the COM
pany union plan.
Results Are COntradicted.
But the existence of this alleged
state of satisfaction as well as the
analysis made Of these elections by
the steel corporations management,
are contradicted by the facts.
The elections held we're company
union elections; they were company
controlled and company dominated.
The election machinery was set up by
the steel corporations. The actual
voting took place inside the steel
manufacturing plants, where con-
veuient places had been provided for
the workers to vote.
The management and the bosses
were every where in evidence and the
elections were held in a company
union atmosphere. There could be no
other result than the result an
nounced The workers were given to
understand, through suggestion and
otherwise, that the corporations
wished the company union plan ap-
proved, and the workers clearly un-
derstood how the company wished
them to vote.
Intimidation Represented.
"The vote, therefore, represents a
vote of fear. of coercion and of in
timidation. 1t was a yes vote cast
by men who because of fear were COM
PEELED to vote yes The fact that the
steel corporations management re-
fuses to permit an election to be held
under the direction, control and su-
pervision of the National Labor Board,
an independent, impartial Govern
ment agency, shows that the corpora
tons would not dare to run the risk
of permitting their workers to vote
free and independent, separate and
apart from company union domina-
ton and control, where the workers
could by secret ballot vote in accord
ance with their Judgment and the
dictates of their conscience"

BEATEN
BY ROTARIANS

Those odd looking things seen
around the streets of the city to-
day are easy to explain--they were
merely Lions with their hsIes peeled
off, the reeling having been done
last night when the Lions club
clashed with the Rotarians on the
baseball diamond at Wilson field.
The shellacKng the Lions took
was their own fault, for they picked
their own pitcher, none other than
Postmaster Penny" Richmond, who
was star twirler on the 'Rinky
Dinks" about the time De ANA
passed through the valley.
For two innings the stamp seller
was on the mound and then man
collapsed 1t was Howard Soper,
score keeper, who was overworked
trying to tally the Rotarians' runs,
and he is an accountant at that The
cog-wheel elan pasted Penny OF all
points of the compass, so much so
that it took away all the joy he had
derived from the great Democratic
victory Tuesday
He went from bad to worse, be-
coming an umpire after he was
yanked out Of the pitchers box and
with the help or jumping Joe Sa-
voldi" Elvandcr, who gave him his
Instructions from the grandstand.
Penny" reeled eff dozen after doz-
~, of fl,a ,,,nct q s.urt,1 dacicionc anxr
team ever faced.
The Lions were helpless before
the mastery twirling of Dick Hay
! den, Rotary president, celebrating
the arrival of a daughter last Sun
day. We have promised not to make
the score public, for the sake of the
i Liens, SO we can't tell just how good
Dick was.
Some of the Rotarians were too
fast for the umpire, Bob Mcnamara,
for instance, playing whirlwind
game and heaving the ball to the
point of play so fast that the jumps
couldn't see it. That last sentence
is at Bob's request for so many ter
lible things have been said about
him in previous games that he de.
manded a break this time.
When the Lions were helpless be-
fore the Rotary chief, he retired in
favor of Bob Hatton, a good tire
man but-well, Bob's a good tire
man. Even at that the Lions had
enough in seven innings.

around to that yet.
The kingfish mascot, it might be
said, combines ali the qualities OF

and besides, has more color.
1t happens this year that Stan
ford or Washington is likely to be
the Pacific coast choice 10 appear
against the eastern team in the big
Pasadena battle, and neither Stan
ford nor Washington is particularly
hot in Southern California.
So the answer to that one is that
the Pasadena Rose bowlerS are con-
fronted by the task Of digging up
an opponent from the east that will
rack them in. Huey and his antics
seem to be made to order for the
occasion.
Princeton, it might be pointed out
again for the benefit Of those who
take their football hit and miss, al
ready has decided not to participate
in the post-season game, even if in
vited. Minnesota would be thWarted
by a Big Ten regulation.
Syracuse and Michigan State, al
so among the candidates. will go
about the business Of eliminating
one or the other this weekend
when they meet. Alabama and Tu'
lane have been recent visitors to the
coast and probably would not be in
vited even if they should finish the
. season on top.
They want new dash and color
and fire on the coast this time, and
Huey is southern agent for that
stuff.
II the Louisiana players them
selves can't measure up-consider
ing that they've been tied twice -
their mascot makes up the deficit
from his very huge store.
He has hollered all up and down
the eastern seaboard in one Of the
grandest one man hollering free

known. Mixed in among the yells
