 In the past, for the most part, the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers has conducted it's campaigns largely in- dependent of the more powerful un- ions.
 This week, new campaign in the steel industry was opened. Into it has ben amassed the coordinated efforts of some of the strongest unions of the country.
 These unions and their leaders comprise the Committee on Indus trial Organization, the group seek ing to rebuild the labor movement on industrial union lines instead of organization by craft.
 At their front is John L. Lewis,  President of the United Mine Work CTS, the largest affiliate of the Amer ican Federation of Labor.
 Although some of the craft un- ions were pursuing policy of com promise and conciliation, two of the more powerful craft leaders were standing adamant for suspen- sion of the unions in the Lewis fac tion.

 IN SPY CASE
Asserts No Navy Officer Trying to Secure Any
 Country Secrets

TOKYO, July 15.-Officials of the Japanese Navy Department ex- pressed complete ignorance of the arrest in Washington, D. C., of John S. Farnsworth, former United States Lieutenant Commander in the Navy on charges of selling confidential Navy information to an agent of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
 Adjutant of the Navy Minister Naganos said there is mo reason to believe that any Japanese Naval officer in America is in any way involved in America or in any other country on mission to buy secrets. There are a few worthless indi- viduals who try to obtain money from foreigners for supposedly val uable secret information, but we cannot believe any Japanese officer ever attempted to use such per sons"
 Vernacular newspapers have ig- nored the case.
 Farnsworth was arrested yes terday by Navy officers and agents of the Department of Justice.
