SEVERE 7 RIAL
LOOMS FOR
A.F.G. f.
BY J. EARLE MOSER


Detroit, for the three days
beginning September IA and pos
sibly longer, is expected to be the
scene of one Of the most interest
ing Federal employee gatherings
in history.
At that time the American
Federation of Government En-
ployes, now laundering around
without a governing hand, will
either emerge from its convention
a stronger and more compact
organization or it will fly to
pieces.
It may emerge stronger and
smaller-wtth out its radical"
New Deal lodges, or it may emerge
with the New Dealers comfort
ably forgiven and told. they must
be good in the future. Or it may
be minus the New Dealers and
still remain shaken, disorganized
and rampant with i'll feeling. And
indications are that its executive
council faces fire. if not casual
ties.
The problem would seem to rest
with the choice of a president.
The man chosen must bring the
opposing right-left factions back
into line, and it isn't likely that
any center" faction will help out.
The cleavage is too clear. 1t will be
a tough task, for neither the con-
servativeS nor liberals have any
intention of granting quarter to
the other.
The liberals, probably, would be
glad to form their own little New
Deal federation and strike out for
themselves, and perhaps will have
to. But they have a distinctive
horror Of being elected from az
filiation with the American Fed.
Grafton of Labor and are expected
to fight bitterly against any ex-
pulsion. All of them have an
idealistic reverence for A. F. of L.
trade unionism," regarding it al
most as a religion.
Whether they are "reds," how
ever. depends upon the definition
of "red." If asked their opinion
of communism, they usually smile
and change the subject.

its low and was a ponit net higher.
New York Central came back nearly
points and Southern Pacific near
ly points The initial sale of 800
