9 UNIONS FACING
SUSPENSION
Over 100000 involved.
Labor Scores Victory in
Board Decision.
By the Associs ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
While disruption threatened the
American Federation of Labor in bit
ter development in the old fight over
craft unionism versus industrial union
ism, organized labor won a VIC
tory in a National Labor Relations
Board decision today.
The executive council of the A. F.
of L.. was reliably reported to be plan
ming suspension of its nine richest
and strongest unions, with member
ship of more than 100000.
William Green's craft unionists are
said to be prepared to oust the follow
ers of John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, rather than
submit to a compromise.
Labor's governmental triumph was
in a N. L. r. B. announcement that
it had ordered the Brown Shoe Co.,
third largest manufacturer in the
United States, to cease interference
with union affairs and to re-employ
three girls, discharged because Of
union membership"
Reverses Earlier Finding.
The company also was ordered to
offer reinstatement to other workers
at its Salem, Ill. plant. who went on
strike last October. The board de-
cision reversed the finding of trial
examiner, who had dismissed o. COM
plant against the concern.
The boards announcement said
Salem citizens used "strongarm
methods to break the union picket
line Immediately after shoe company
officials had indicated a shutdown
might follow labor disturbances" The
plant dominated the economic life Of
the community, it said, and a citizens
committee had raised sl25,000 to have
the plant located there.
The A. F. of L. fight has been near
ing a showdown for months, as Lewis
has fought for the union of all work.

tries into one big union. Green clings
to the older system of unionization
by skilled groups.
To Suspend Charters.
The craft unionists, it was learned,
intend to suspend the charters of the
nine industrial unions at the July
Executive Council session, a power
granted the council under the A. F..
of L. constitution.
Its next move will be an attempt
to expel the suspended members at
the next convention of the entire
federation, depending on whether the
necessary two-thirds majority re-
quired for expulsion is obtained. The
tndustrialist group, it was said, will
fight this procedure.

BY Carter Field ~
FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT

Washington.-Out in Montana, Lam
don enthusiasts are organizing IRE
publican Typical Prairie State" clubs.
Word Of this activity has just reached
Democratic members Of congress from
Butte and Helena, and it is, they ad-
nit privately, rather disturbing. In
fact, it is giving a good deal of con-
Germ to Senator James q. Murray, who
is up for reelection this year and up
to now had not contemplated any par
ticular trouble in winning six more
years in the senate.
Montana has not elected Repub-
lican senator since the Bull Moose
split of 1919. Even in the wet wave
Of 1880, Senator Thomas ]. Walsh,
Democrat, was easily reelected.
"Nor is Montana by any means a
typical prairie state" 1t comes much
closer to being typical mountain
state. While it is more noted for its
mining, 1t has a good deal Of cattle
country, as have it's neighbors, Idaho
and Wyoming.
The significance of the fact that
this typical prairie state" thing has
been taken up there is 1t is appar-
emily resented all over the West, not
as a slur on Kansas, which Of course
was meant, but as slur on all the
country west of the Hudson river,
made by a typical Tammany politi-
cian."
All of which makes the real story
of this slip, which may prove historic,
Of some Importance.
The speech was originally written
by Charley Michaelson, not for James
A Farley, who delivered it, but for
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, who comes from Iowa. Had
Wallace delivered the speech there is
no certainty that it would have been
picked up, though the phrase lends it.
self to use.
+ The terrible part of 1t lies not in
the phrase itself-though no one par
ticularly relishes being called "typi-
cal"-but in the fact that it came
from a New Yorker. People sensed
that it was slip, but that it was the
kind of a slip that reveals the real
thought of the person making 1t. 1t
just crops to the surface when the
writer, or speaker, is really trying to
make another point, but is more re-
vealing of the slant of mind of the
writer than the thought he is trying
to convey in the context.
Edited by Early
When it was decided that this par
ticular speech was to be delivered by
Farley and not Wallace, the document
was sent over to the White House
for approval. There it was carefully
read, and edited, by Steve Early, Sec
rotary to President Roosevelt, and in
charge, among other things, of press
relations.
Early did not skip over the "typ-
ical prairie state" line. He was
shocked by it, and carefully crossed
out the whole paragraph containing
it. Whereupon he returned it to Far
ley's office.
Now comes one of those frequent
cases in government life where it is
customary to blame the stenographer
though all the reports about it are
different. But at any rate, Farley
wanted the manuscript neatly typed
not showing the savage editing done
by Early.
So new draft was made, and 10

that his companion had not made
mistake. Briant did not try to
triumph over him, but examined
the seashore with his telescope.
To the north the coast curved
gently to the left. To the south
the same outline with more pro-
nounced curve.
Fresh Water
There was no doubt now! This
was not continent! It was really
an island on which the storm had
thrown the Sloughi, and they
must give up all hope of getting
away from it, unless help came
from over the sea.
No other land was in sight. It
seemed that this island was iso-
lated and lost in the immenSity
of the Pacific Ocean!
Briant, Doniphan, Wilcox and
Service had crossed the plain
which led to the beach, and had
halted at the foot of a sand-bank
for lunch. Then they planned
to return to the Sloughi before
nightfall.
During the meal, which was
rather downhearted, they ex-
changed hardly a word.
At last Doniphan picked up his
satchel and his gun, and said:
Lets co."
And all four, taking a last look
at the sea, were ready to recross
the plain, when Phann ran down
the beach.
"Phann! . come here. Phann!"
cried Service. But the dog con-
tlnued to run. shifting the wet
sand. Then bounding into the
little waves of the surf, he
started to drink greedily.
Hes drinking! He's drinking!"
cried Doniphan.
In an instant Doniphan darted
across the sand banks and drank
a little Of this water at which
Phann was satisfying his thirst.
It was fresh water! It was a
lake which stretched itself to the
eastern horizon 1t was not the
sea!
ThuS the most important uues-
ton to the young caStaWays was
not yet answered No doubt that
this was lake. But did the lake
belong to an island? In prolong-
ing the exploration. would a real
sea be discovered? A sea which
there would be no means Of get

ut would be the American con-
tinent," said Briant.
Il always thought So" an
SWered Doniphan, land it seems
that I was not mistaken!"
"Well,' replied Briant, "it was
a water line that I saw"
"Sure, but it wasn't the seal"
Doniphan's answer showed a
certain satisfaction which was
more vanity than good nature,
but Briant did not argue. More.
over, in the common interest it
was better if he had made mis-
take. On a continent, they would
not be prisoners: on an island,
they would be. However it would
be necessary to wait for a more
favorable season to undertake an
excursion toward the east. The
difficulties which they had faced
on this short journey would be
much greater if they had to go
a long way with all their COM
rades. This was the beginning
of April and the Austral winter
comes earlier than that of the
Boreal zone. It was impossible to
think of undertaking such a Jour-
ney before the good season had
returned.

Better not risk being dlScoV-
ered," observed Doniphan, and all
agreed.
The boys ate supper with hearty
appetiteS. They we're going to
sleep at the foot of an enormous
birch when Service found thicket
from which, it appeared in the
dark, emerged a tree of medium
height, of which the lower
branches fell back until they
reached the ground. There, on a
heap of dry leaves, the four
wrapped themselves in their blan-
ketS and slept Soundly.
Beside them slept Phann. Once
or twice he gave long groWl.
Evidently animals were roaming
the forest; but they did not come
near the encampment.
It was nearly 7 o'clock when
the boys woke up. The early rays
of the sun dimly lighted the
thicket, which Service was first to
leave. Immediately his cries we're
heard, or rather his exclamations
of surprise.
"Briant! Doniphan! Wilcox!
Come! Come quick!"
What is it?" asked Briant.
"Come and see where we have
slept!" yelled Service.
It was not a thicket. It was a
foliage hut, one Of those shelters
which Indians call "ajoupas," and
which are made with interlaced
branches. This hut must have been
constructed many years ago, since
its roof and its sides were only
kept together by the tree against
which it was built, and the foliage
gave it a new covering. The hut
was similar to those used by the
aborigines Of South America!

Then there are some inhabi-
tants!" said Doniphan, looking
rapidly around him.
"Or at least there have been
Some," answered Briant.
"ThiS explains the causeway
across the creek!" observed Will
cox.
"WeIl, that's fine!" cried Serv-
ice. "The inhabitants must be nice
people, since they built this hut
fo1 us to sleep I'M"
In reality, nothing was less GER
tain than that the natives of this
country were nice people. What
was more evident was that those
natives had frequented this part
of the forest at a rather remote
date. Now, these natives could
only be Indians, if this country
was attached to the New Cont
nent, or PolynesianS or even can
nibalS, if it was on an island be-
longing to one of the groups in
Oceania! This last eventuality
was full of perilS and more than
ever it was important that the
mystery be solved.
Therefore, Briant wanted to
start again but Doniphan pro-
posed that they carefully examine
the hut. Perhaps they would
find some object. utensil, instru.
ment or tool which would help to
determine its origin.
The litter of dry leaves on the
soil Of the hut was searched with
care, and, in a corner, Service
found fragment of baked earth
which may have come from a
plate or gourd. New indication
of mans work, but that was all.
There was nothing left but to con.
tinue the exploration.
About 7:30 the young boys
started toward the east on a soil
with slight declivity. For two
hours they moved slowly through
wild grasses and underground,
and at times they had to cut their
way through with their hatchets.
At last, little before 10 o'clock,
the young explorers came to the
edge of the wood. Beyond the
forest stretched a large plain
strewn with mastic trees, thyme
and heather. About half a mile
toward the east was a band OF
sand. On it softly washed the
waves of the sea! The sea which
Briant had seen and which ex
tended to the limit of the horizon
Doniphan was quiet. 1t was
hard for that proud boy to admit
