 Three Types of Unions
 Washington, July 7-(UP)-Advo- cates of three types of labor unions craft, industrial and company seek supporters today among the nations Se,000,000 workers.
 The American Federation of La- bor, parent organization of union labor in the United States, claims Q membership of 3,000,000 workers. The remainder are either unorgan- ized or members of company unions.
 Affiliated with the A. ?. of L. are unions eSpousing both craft and iIl- dustrial organization. Compan unions are not eligible for afiiliation, The traditional policy of the fedora ton has been toward craft unionisnl
 Principal features of the three types of unions are:
 1. Craft unionis:n: Organization of skilled workers into unions erl- bracing one trade-such as electri- clans or carpenters-sn all industries
 William Green, A. F. of l.. presi- dent, In espousing craft unionisIn ia following the policy established by Samuel GomperS, for many years president of the federation.
 The craft union is based upon the relative skill of workers in the irl- dustrial Set-up. It sometimes is re- ferred to as the horizontal union be- cause 1t embraces workers ct the same relative level of proficiency In many industries.
 craft union advocates contend 1t would be unfair to force them to sacrifice the advantageous position which they claim by right of their skill for the benefit of urskilled workers.
 Vertical Union
 2. The industrial, or vertical, union: Organization of all workers In each industry into lone big union" In. cluding all trades and both skilled and unskillcd lahorers.
 This group Is led by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work ers-largest of the industrial unions and chairman of the committee for industrial organization. Lewis was instrumental in forming the o. I. o. last fall after the A. F. of L. national convention rejected his plea for industrial unionization.
 Lewis group now includes l2 pow erful unions claiming o membership of more than 100000 workers-a third of the A. ?. of |. membership. He claims the emphasis in industry on machines instead of skin has made this form of unionization necessary.
 Company Unions
 3. Company unions: Organization of workers of one factory or cons pany, usually with the aid of enl- ployers.
 The stronghold of these unions has been in the steel, automobile and rubber industries. It is in these in- dustries, employing more than 820,- 900 workers, that Lewis seeks re. cruits for industrial unionization.
 Mill and factory owners in these and other industries are fighting te maintain company unions as 6 means of retaining the "open shop the right to hire and fire without consulting outside labor leaders,

 Assistant Solicitor William c. alprier. the literary lawyer who had a hand in the authorship of "Gal- ,oninR dold," called W. J. Marlos, n01tOfflce inspector ct Los Angeles, aa his chief witness. Marles said liis daughter, Mrs. L. Q. Massey, or Weat Los Angeles, submitted "Qal. ioplng Gold" to the Universal Scenario O., at his request. The complete story, as read by oBrion, went ike this;
 ajune Travers was Q lovely girl on c ranch alone, except for 0 few ola cowhandS. She drove into town a0 miles away one day and her horse ran away. A big, clean cut young man came out of the postofiiee, Whistled to his horse, Teddy, and aaVed June. She thanked him with nll her heart. The big young mans name turned out to be Jack Hart AZ she drove away, he looked at her with gleam of love in his eye.
 Crooked Lawyer Appears
 "A crooked lawyer, meantime, teied to get the ranch and the beau- tiful young June, with her beauti- 1ul blonde hair and her big blue eyes. Jud Blackhaert, the lawyer, demanded that June get out of her house. or be his. She fled to her bed- room and locked herself in. Jack Hart came riding up and had 0 ter- fiblo fight with Jud. Jack was brave and swung hard right ct Jud's khin. That fiored Jud. Then Jack burned the fake papers and took June in his arms. The sheriff ar- rested Jud for cattle hustling. Jack told Jane that he was not o poor cow hand, but really the son of o rich mine owner. So they were married and lived happily ever af- :, ter"
 What O'Brien Charged
 O'Brien, having recited the poem about junk, testified the Universal Scenario Service wrote that the story was dramatic, that 1t should nppeal to the Hollywood producers and that the characters of Jack and June could well be played by some jof the younger stars" It offered to .nut the story in marketable form for c SIS service fee. Inspector Marles testified his daughter did not ,eend the money.
 She did, however, send to the Tyniversal Song Service, in the same 'efIice. lyric entitled "The Girl of the Dale" It started thus: sA-down the dale like the night ingale
 { acomes the girl of the dale" This is the way it ended: .fV girl of the dale, I love you"
 She Didn't Remit < Universal wrote that these words swnre ~well worth developing" It .urned the inspectors daughter to remit $50 and let one of its stan 'musIeians write some music for it. Mrs. Massey did not send the $50, .her father testified.
 7 Henry R. Cohen, owner of Univer- .sal Song Service, trundled Q piano into the postofice departments shearing room, to prove that he writes good songs. The records showed that he had s'serviced" 1,o80 songs ( for amateur authors during the two years ended June, 1885. Ills attor- ney, Horace Donnelly, emphasized that he had done everything he promised for every hopeful lyricist who had done business with him.

more cheaply by employing its own

Still Have Yield

College Station, Raleigh, July 90
Home gardens that were hurt by dry
weather this spring and summer may
yet grow a good supply of vegetables
this fall.
According to H. r. Niswonger, ex-
tension horticulturist at State College,
there are a number Of leafy and root
vegetables that may be planted in
August and September by North Car
Dina gardeners.
The list includes kale, spinach, let
tuce, endive, Swiss chard, mustard,
carrots, beets, and turnips. Tomatoes
snap beans, and early maturing va
rieties of sweet corn may be planted
early in August.
In figuring the latest date at which
vegetables can be planted he said,
