international reputation in this unique
field has been summed up in the
newspaper supplements from coast to

Two years ago when Rieseberg was

at once besieged by engineers, f1nan-

Salvage Plans Evolved.
At that time an obscure inventor
IL the State of Washington was per-
fecting a new type of diving sphere

about Rieseberg, and saw possibilities
with his equipment. He got in touch
with the Bureau Of Navigation man in
Washington and the two became in

With the arrival here of this latest

communism yesterday and de-
nounced militaristic tactics of Eu-
ropean dictatorS.
President William Green, strik-
ing the keynote at the opening of
the 55th annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor,
suggested also that the United
States government attempt to me-
date a settlement of the African
war.
Green shouted defiance at Mos
cow and pledged labor anew to a
stubborn battle for high wages
and shorter working hours.
He said that he felt government
ownership and operation of rail-
roads was close at hand.
He declared that under no cir
cumstances should the United
States become involved in Euro.
pean conflict.
The first sign of controversy at
the convention came shortly after
when a rival building trades group
challenged the seating of John A.
Williams as a delegate from the
building trades department. THIS
battle will be fought out later IN
the week.
Green's attack on communism
was coupled with reference to eff
forts to have labor organize an
independent political movement.
"The American Federation OF
Labor will declare itself in favor
of an independent political action
when the crystalized opinion OF
the workers indicates they believe
their interests can be better serV-
ed through such action rather
than through a pursuit of non
partisan political policy" he said.

Premier Pierre Laval-ending
for all time the question of
