HOT FIGHTS IN PATH
OF A.F.OF FL.PARLEY
Two Controversial Issues
to Flare at Convention
in October.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August II.
Two hot fights on the floor of the
American Federation of Labor Con-
vention here in October are in pros
pect now that the federation's Exec
utive Council meeting has adjourned.
Should the federation approve.
without qualification, the organization
OF mass production industry workers
by industry rather than by craft?
Should the machinistS in the automo-
bile industry belong to the United
Automobile Workers rather than to
the Machinists' Union. for instance?
Should the federation approve the
councils recognition of the building
trades department headed by ]. w.
Williams as the legal" department or
should it recognize the department
headed by NJ. j. McDonough?
The first of these issues was dis
cuSsed at length at the councils exec
utive sessions, but all members agreed
to leave the showdown fight for the
convention. Absence of John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Workers
and leader of the industrial unionists,
from the meeting was thought by OBJ
servers to have had considerable bear
ing on this decision.
The councils final action last night
was to accuse the Commerce Depart
ment of misleading" the people with
statement this week that labors
share of the national income last year
was greater tnan it was in 1929.
In compiling this statement, the
council said. the department included
in labor" income the salaries of all
executives, including bank presidents.
Executive salaries did not fluctuate
nearly as much as did the average wage
earners' income, labor leaders con-
| tended
The wage Garner, the council added,
made only So per cent as much last
year as he did in 1929.

Pay Penalty.

by the Associated freSS.
The Grain Futures Commission to-
day barred Thomas M. Howell, mem
ber of the Chicago Board of Trade,
from trading privileges in all con-
tract markets in the United States
beginning September Is.
Howell was found guilty of having
violated the grain futures act by
attempting to manipulate the price
of grain and by concealing his trans
actions in the market by making
false reports and by falling to report.
He was accused of attempting to
manipulate the price of corn in
violation of the law in the Summer
OF 1881.
Price Boosted IL Cents.
Government attorneys. in a hear
ing before the commission in June,
charged that through the purchase
of almost 100000 bushels of July
futures in 1881 Howell caused an in
crease in price of IA cents bushel
The law requires that trader must
report to the Grain Futures Admin
istration the purchase of 100000 or
more bushels of corn in any one
future
Purchase of 5000, 900 or more BUSH
els, officials said. would result in an
investigation by the Business Conduct
Committee of the Chicago Board of
Trade.
Market Corner Charged.
Attorneys contended Howell bought
under his own name a total of 1895
900 bushels of July futures, and
through accounts in the names of
members of his family and friends
purchased amounts of less than 5O0,-
900 bushels until his holdings totaled
almost 100000 bushels.
This, it was said, gave Howell a
corner on the market.
