| ABOR PARTY MAY BE BORN;
 POSSIBILITIES
Showdown Between Craft, Industrial Unionists,
 Is Indicated
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-Lead- CTS of organized labor say private ly the impending showdown between the craft and industrial unionists holds possibilities of vast political significance.
 While none is so bold as to pre- dict flatly that labor party will emerge. on the political scene if the industrial unionists are victor ious in their fight to say which type of organization shall prevail, many regard it possible.
 This, they say, is the situation:
 Labor has fared well under the Roosevelt Administration. Regard less of which party is in control of the Government in 1940, the odds are that labor will never get the break it has under President Roose- welt.
 The necessity for organization, therefore, is evident. Industrial unionists say their way is the only way-to have unions which com prise all employees in an industry, irrespective of the kind of work they do

LEWIS TWO REASONS

In the words of John l.. Lewis, President of the United Mine Workers and leader of the indus trial unionists, such a step will be- come increasingly necessary for two reasons:
 First, to safeguard the funda- mental rights of industrial democ- racy; and, second, to secure leg islative and perhaps constitutional sanctions for labor's program.
 Success in the organization of our basic industries says Lewis, will bring with it the political power which the labor movement has hitherto lacked for the attain ment of it's objectives."

of Children, Union Tells
Board.

Renewing charges that have been
a part of long-standing grievances
OF engineers employed in the public
schools. Local No. 102 of the Inter-
national Union of Operative Engineers
again has written the Board of Edu-
cation that the lives and safety OF
school children are being menaced
by permitting boilers to be tempo
rarily unattended.
The complaint was sent to Charles
B. Degges, secretary, who expects to
present it to the board at its next
meeting.
j. j. johnson, secretary Of the local,
particularly objected to a rule adopt
ed last June placing school princi-
pals in full charge Of all buildings.
This permits them to have engineers
and firemen leave their boiler rooms
to attend to other duties about the
buildings. During such absences,
johnson charged, the boilers become
such a hazard that they may blow up.
Last year a series of complaints,
affecting ratings of custodial employees,
overtime work, attendance at faculty
meetings, school dances and other
social functions. were filed with the
board and several public hearings
were held before the grievances were
settled.
