Labor Issue
Is Puzzling
All Around
Split of Union Move
ment Vexes Politi-
clans; Labor Stu
dies Parties
By CHARLES p. STEWART

Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, July 10-Labor is as
bewildered as anyone by the mixup OF
alignments Of the two major political
parties The arrangements of the
major political parties are equally be-
wildered by the mixup of labor align
mentS.
Progressive Republicans are flock
ing over to the Roosevelt group.
Conservative Democrats are en-
listing under the Landon banner.
The Republican elephant and the
Democratic donkey don't know
which is which. Neither does labor.
But politicians also are at a loss
how to choose between labor fac
tons.
THE LEWIS MOVEMENT
The prospects of a finish fight be-
tween employers in the steel indus
try and the forces behind President
John L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers, which are trying to organ
ize the steel, automotive, rubber and
other big trades on the industrial or
"vertical plan, is bad enough from
tn politicians standpoint.
Still, that is the old conflict be-
tween capital and labor; the parties
have had much experience in strad-
ding it more or less deity.
The split between the industrial
unionists and the old-time craft or
"horizontaI' unionists, under the lead
ership of President William Green of
the A. F. of L., is not so simple a
question to deal with.

"Rebel" Group To Resist
Being Thrown Gut of A.
F. of L. By Execu-
tive Council
SHOWDOWN is DUE
ON NEXT TUESDAY
At That Time, Council Will
Decide Definitely Wheth-
er To Gust Recalcitrants;
Almost Certain To Do That
Unless There Is Last-Min-
ute Change

Washington, July 1O.-(AP)-Prom-
inent members of the John L. Lewis
band of rebels within the Amer
lean Federation of Labor were under
stood today to be considering a court
FIGHT to prevent the A. F. of L. exc
cutive committee from tossing them
out of the federation.
This was the newest development
in a far-reaching labor dispute NOV
ing slowly toward a showdown which
is expected to occur next Tuesday.
On that date the council plans to
decide definitely whether to suspend
unions representing one-third of it's
membership on the ground that they
arc working at cross purposes with
the A. f. of L.
Barring a last minute change of
heart most labor circles expect the
council to vote to GUST the rebel I'M
ions which are now aiding the COM
mittee for industrial organization in
the drive to draw 100000 steel work
crs into one big industrial union,
regardless of the craft they WORK at
When and if the suspension is vo.r
ed the leaders in the industrial or
ganization are expected to decide
quickly whether they are to conduct a
court fight challenging the validity
of the court order or to go their own
way, perhaps seeking to set up a rival
organization, with a membership of
100000, which they claim.
Support for the theory that they
might possibly go to court was seen
in a remark made bV Philip MURRAY
field chairman of the unionizatiOn
drive. He said at Pittsburgh that he
had studied the A. +. of l.. constitd-
ton rarefhlly, and had found no pro-
vision for such a suspension order.
