LABOR ROW

William Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor,
will decide whether carpenters or

forts at conciliation failed. An
other battle is on in the city post

Earlier the board had heard argu-
mentS by Joseph Sullivan and Edgar

The store he represented, he told
the board, is $50 feet from the en-
trance to Macfarland Junior High
School and 500 feet from the entrance
to Roosevelt High School. To deny
that place a license to sell liquor and
grant similar licenses to nearby
