Behind the
Scenes i'm
Washington
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Brownsville Herald Washington
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA year
rom now there may be two Ameri-
can declarations Of Labor, one OF
them operating under another name.
Distillation Of confidential re-
ports from labor leaders, certain gov
eminent observers, and correspond
ents who were at the Atlantic City
convention shows clearly that the
battle between the industrial union
lists and the controlling conserva-
tive craft unionistS was but a pre-
Jude TO what will happen in 1886.
The important thing to remem-
Der Is that the insurgents polled
nearly 40 per cent Of the conven-
ticn vote, whereas never before, on
the issue Of industrial unionism,
had a minority polled even 10 per
cent.
Already there are two important
labor movements-the "A. #. L. and
the J. L. L., the latter meaning the
big following. actual and poten-
tial, Of President John l.. Lewis CT
the United Mine Workers.
Most labor students concede that
the Lewis group is destined TO tramp
forward as development Of machin-
cry continues TO displace skilled
workers.
Showdown Next FAN
The question now is whether in
dustrial unionism will grow inside
or outside the "A. +. Of l.
The battle Of Atlantic City will
continue through the year. Next fall
Lewis and his allies will be In the
position Of trying TO get a major
ity or actually threatening secession.
And secession might come either
through a walkout from the fed
GRAFTON or an attempt by the old
line leaders 70 throw cut the inSur-
gents Gin the belief that their saliva
ton lay in a split.
It's doubtful whether the insur-
gents can get a majority, because the
craft unions are thoroughly and
rightly frightened by the possibility
that their Own organizations would
be destroyed whenever industrial
unionism gained an upper hand in
the federation.
The split between the factions in
the convention vote was about 1900
to 10,500, and men who have check
ed the possibilities figure the min
ority can't get more than 1000 addi-
tional votes in the coming year ex-
cept by organizing big industrial
unionS-which the A. F. Of L. ma
chine opposes.
Many Look 10 Lewis
The group which looks C Lewis
for leadership includes workers in
cement. steel, rubber, automobile.
radio, coke, aluminium, and all fed
eral unions which want aid in or
ganizing. plus several unions outside
the "A. +. CT L., such as the Cam
den Shipyard workers.
Lewis, Sidney Hillman OF the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers, and
other like-minded leaders will aid
such unions all they car, regard

plans to erect a gasoline station. A petition of Leroy J. Fagen for 8 permit for a gasoline station at l,188 East Main street was referred to a committee. The site of the pro- posed station is within 200 feet of the Hendricken school and, there fore, is excluded for this kind of business in the zoning ordinance. However, the petitioner pointed out, there are two other gasoline sta- tions within 200 feet of the school.
 Zoning Changes
 It was voted to hold public hear ings on petitions of Mrs. Leda M. Bouley and Walter Beebe for changes in the zoning ordinance on the night of Thursday, November 2lst. The Beebe petition provides for a change in the zoning ordin- ance as it affects property on Wol- colt street, at Bouley Manor, so that a gasoline station can be opened. The Bouley petition asks for a change in the ordinance so that a combination store and apartment building can be erected at Bouley Manor. Both petitions are being vigorously protested by the resi- dents of Wolcott street and Bouley Manor so the hearings on the 2lst are expected to be exciting ones. The protestants have hired counsel to represent them.
 Voting Records
 The usual formality of receiving the voting records of last months city election from the registrars of voters was followed. The aldermen approved the report and declared the winners elected.
 To tn committee on land was re- ferred three bids for property at 61 Watertown avenue which the city took over some time ago for noon-payment of taxes. The, bid- ders were: William J. Fitzpatrick, $3,750; Vernon L. Hall, $3,500; An- drew D. Dawson, $3,300.

Erosion Proves Highly
Costly.

EROSION is likely to come more and
more before the public eye as the
public works program of the Fed
eral Government swings into opera
ton.
The need for protection against both
wind and water erosion has long been
apparent to the experts in touch with
the situation in various parts OF the
country. It remained for the drought
and the spectacular dust storms to &C
quaint the country at large with the
danger.
AS an example of Just how serious
erosion can become, figures for Loui-
siana can be cited.
Soil Conservation Service experts
believe that 6 per cent of the area
of the entire State has lost from one
fourth to three-fourths of its top soil.
More than fourth of the State Is
subject to outlying.
The extent of this damage may be
realized when it is known that 1t
takes nature about 100 years to de-
velop / inch Of top soil and the aver
age land seldom exceeds or inches
of top soil.
One washing with flood waters can
wipe out the work of nature for scores
Of years.
