Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-En-
phatic warning against the peril of
division and disunity in the labor
movement was voiced by William
Green, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, in vigorous speech
before the convention Of the United
Mine Workers of America here. His
address was followed by a dramatic
rejoinder by President John L. Lewis,
of the miners, and his talk was greet
ed during delivery with a mixture of
generous applause and boos of disap-
proval.
President Green's address was an
earnest plea for unity, for tolerance
of different forms of labor organiza-
ton within the American Federation
of Labor and for closing of the ranks
to meet the growing danger from
without
Asks for Tolerance
Pointing out that dissention within
'the family of labor" would bring
satisfaction only to hostile employing
groups, Green declared there was
room within the federation for the
application of both craft and indus
trial union policies.
Referring TO the committee for in
dustrial organization, headed by
President Lewis, of the Miners, and
organized to promote industrial or
ganization of the mass industries,
Green said the A. f. of L. executive
council could not be expected to re-
main passive" while an organization
was formed within the parent body
to fight it's policies.
The A. F. of L. chief recalled that
in past strikes federation unions con-
tributed some 100000 to help the
miners, while the federation itself
absolved the union of the payment Of
$4,000 in per capita dues.
Warns of Evil Days
Evil days will come again. he
warned when they do, you must
turn to these men of the labor move
ment. Don't make them your enc
mics. Make them your friends"
When Green finished his speech,
President Lewis, of the Miners, asked
those delegates who had changed
their minds because of Green's talk
to stand up Two stood up.
Then President Lewis asked dele
gates who believed the committee for
industrial organization should be dis
solved to stand up. A lone delegate
rose.
Delegates Back Unity Policy
Next Lewis asked all those who be-
lieved the policies of the miners con-
vention should be carried out to
stand. The convention delegates
leaped to their feet, shouting their
applause.
Lewis turned to Green and said:

Max Zaritsky, secretary treasurer
of the international union, and presi-
dent of its cap and millinery de-
partment, in an address which dealt
with the necessity of labor removing
all barriers and impediments to en-

which organized capital is launching
against labor and its standards, sug

the way to the solidarity by which
labor can combat its enemies on the
industrial field.

The resolution adopted by the IN

which are represented the two de-

describing industrial conditions gen
orally and in the headgear industry
the preparations which the industrial

won by generations of effort, and the
responsibility which is imposed upon
labor to so organize its forces as to

which capital is planning.

to bring about a more effective or

NEWSPAPER GUILD
Making Progress in Middle
West
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS) Bill Davy, ma
tional organizer of the American
Newspaper Guild, who opened an of
fee in Chicago when he took charge
of organizing work in the middle
western territory last August, re-
ports definite results despite many
obstacles.
In some cities, notably at Milwau
kee, ST Paul, and Minneapolis, the
editorial and reportorial workers
gave almost immediate response,
with the result that thriving local
guilds have been organized in those
cities and are functioning.
Representative from Rockford, ILL.,,
Indianapolis, Chicago, the Twin Cities
and Milwaukee attended a midwestern
conference held in Chicago recently
and set up a council to embrace this
territory.

A provisional local guild has been
set up in Chicago and the following
temporary officers elected: Martin
Kane, United Press, president; j. Roy

7. FIGHT TO RESUME
Landon Support Seen for
National Committee.
mans Slate.
BY Stan Correspondent of The Star.

CLEVELAND, June 6.-The Col
laday and Rover states of District dele
gates to the Republican National Con-
Vention are digging in tonight for the
contest which is to come before the
Credentials Committee of the con-
vention on Tuesday.
Edward F, Colladay, national COM
mitteeman, whose slate Of delegates
was placed on the temporary list of
delegates Of the convention yesterday
by the Republican National Conven-
ton, expressed confidence the Creden-
tials Committee would seat these dele
gates by an even more impressive vote
The opposition, led by Leo A. Rover,
Joshua Evands, jr., and Samuel j.
Prescott, veteran Republican leader Of
the District, have by no means given
up hope of winning.
Although Prescott and the others
In the Rover group continue to insist
they are neutral and uninsuucted so
far as presidential candidates are con-
cerned, the District contest is takingon
more and more the color of a Landon
and anti-Landon battle. Borah and
Knox leaders in the presidential race
said today they would throw their
whole strength behind the Rover slate
Of delegates in the Credentials Com
mittee and in the convention itself if
the fight was carried to the floor.
The Colladay delegates have been
instructed for Landon. The Landon-
ties are not likely, now that the Ma
tional Committee has decided in IA
vor of these instructed Colladay dele
gates, to let the contest before the
Credentials Committee go by the
board without struggle. That being
the case, it is expected the Landon
forces will throw their whole inf1u-
ence and strength back of the Cola
day delegates. If the Landonites are
as strong as appears to be the case, it
will be very difficult for the Rover
delegates to win.

as part of the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway within 10 years.
The case presents an interesting and
long -drawn-out history dating back
to 1922 10 years before the death Of
Mr.. Letter. April II, 1882.
According to the official records
the Treasury levied a tax liability of
S213,501 for income taxes allegedly
due for the years from 1922 to 1890
When the case was taken to the
United States Board of Tax Appeals
the liability was reduced to S91 ,067,
but later an additional S56000 was
added for interest due. The eXecu.
tors, according to the record, made
an "offer in compromise of $4,000
declaring there were not sufficient
liquid assets in the estate to pay
more. After some negotiations the
executors rendered an additional offer
Of the 160 acres Of land.
In probate court at Chicago, Judge
John F OConnell gave the courts ap-
proval to this proposed disposition Of
the case concerning the estate.
With the turning over of the l60
acres along the river front, and pay
ment Of $4,000 to the Treasury. the
estate thus provides the National
Park Service with property much
needed for the new parkway, turns
over to the Treasury an amount of
actual cash, but still retains part of
the old property. The original place,
where the late Mr.. Letter was keenly
interested in actual farming, and
where he raised blooded cattle and
hogs. runs from the Great Falls road
in Fairfax County. down to the
Potomac River. Most of 1t Is wooded,
pastureland and orchards.
The exact status of the Letter 40
room mansion could not be learned
last night, from official sources
On the strip of $50 acres along the
waterfront still stands an artistically
constructed log cabin. Two smaller
cabins were washed away in the re-
cent flood.
The next largest tract acquired by
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission for the mem
orial parkway is not far upstream
from the Letter place, on the opposite
bank of the river, in Maryland, near
what is known as Stubblefleld Falls.
It runs about mile and a quarter
along the river.

Carl G. Bachmann to persuade Senator
Borah to make speech or to issue
some statement, when he comes to
Cleveland, danning Landon. In fact
the principal hope of the anti-Lan-
donites lies in the dynamic Borah and
what he may do here
When Bachmann counters with a
question: What will you do for my
candidate if he plows Landon under
the. Knox men and others reply: 1--WE
have our own candidates" And SO
it goes.
More and more bitter grow the
statements put out by the Knox and
Borah leaders, attacking Landon. But
none have so far been as denunciatory
as the statements issued by Frank
Hague, Democratic boss of New Jer-
sey, about Franklin D. Roosevelt dur
ing the Democratic National Conven-
ton in Chicago. Hague, who after
ward became an ardent Roosevelt
supporter, called him utterly unfit
for the presidency. So far the anti
Landon leaders have only knocked a
few tail feathers of Landon.
AS the contest is lining up for the
Republican presidential nomination
it bears some resemblance to the fight
in 1928 to prevent the nomination OF
Herbert Hoover. In the main, it is
the senatorial group against an out
slider. In 1928 there were Curtis and
Watson and Goff, all of the Senate
with Lowden on the side. in the effort
to halt Hoover. Today there are
Borah and Dickinson, with Steiwer
and Vandenberg as silent partners.
and Col Knox on the side, allied
against Landon. There seems no
more chance that the senatorial allies
will defeat Landon this year than they
had to defeat Hoover eight years ago.
Support From Grass Roots.
Landon's advantage over his COM
petitors lies in the fact that his sup
port comes from the grass roots, and
not from the old leaders of the party.
These old leaders have little if any
control over the delegations which
they are leading from their States to
the national convention. There are,
perhaps, two exceptions, Col. r. B.
Creager of Texas and ]. Henry Rora-
back of Connecticut. Both are for
Landon. Creager, head of his dele
cation, will vote Texas IS votes for
Landon on the first ballot, under the
unit rule. Roraback will turn in Con-
necticut's 19 votes. If Charles D.
Hilles of New York sought to hold his
delegation in line against the Kansan,
the delegates would trample right
over him. At least As of the New
York delegates will vote for Landon
at the start, and probably more. Nor
could David A. Reed of Pennsylvania,
who is holding out against Landon,
keep many of the Keystone State del
egates from going to Landon on the
first ballot. Reed may try it out, at
that.

OREGON. Ill, June 6.-Frank o.
fowden, "the sage OF Sinnissippl
was a silent and unknown quantity to-
night in the Republican preconvention
deliberations over presidential candi-
dates.
Sitting quietly at home in his Rock
River Valley farm house, the agricul-
tural veteran had a laconic no COM
nent" in answer to all reports from
the preconvention scene at Cleveland.
His name was advanced FOR the
presidential nomination by dean of
the party, Nicholas Murray Butler, in
an interview yesterday. Today the
Cleveland News reported stop Lam
don coalition" was forming behind
him with SAB votes-42 more than
enough to keep the nomination from
the Kansas Governor when the ma
tional conclave opens Tuesday in the
Ohio city.
To all this Landon had nothing to
say.
Its Nicer Here"
Its nicer here" he declared, than
1t is at Cleveland"
Presidential talk was nothing new to
him. His name was considered at
three previous conventions.
In 1920 the former Illinois Governor
received 3l1l2 votes at Chicago before
his name was withdrawn. Again in
1924 and 1923 he was a candidate
and in 1924 was offered and declined
the post as running mate to Calvin
Coolidge.
The 1928 convention in Kansas CITY.
saw him the overwhelming choice of
corn belt farmers, but he withdrew
his name when the agricultural plank
he favored was turned down.
- Now past rs years of age, he chose
his last birthday, January 26, to out
line his newest solution to the farm
problem, Withholding it from publica-
ton until the United States Supreme
Court had passed on the A. A. A.
Briefly, it called for Federal grants
to, the StateS-to be paid to farmers
who removed 25 to 80 per cent of their
land from cultivation and planted it
to legumes. Administration would be
placed in the hands of the State agri-
cultural colleges
Political Figure 40 Years.
During the last 40 years Lowden
figured largely in State and national
politics. In his first campaign-in
1904 for the Republican nomination
as Governor-he was defeated by
Charles S. Deneen. Later he served
three terms in Congress, and in 1916
was nominated and elected Governor
Of this State. During his term he
built reputation based on road build
ing. consolidation of governmental
units and penal reform.
Throughout the years he has MAIN
tanned Sinnissippi farm. devoting his
efforts to agricultural problems and
cooperative marketing.
THE farmer is up against it." he
said in 1882 speaking before the an
nual meeting of the Illinois Agri-
cultural Association, mot because he
produces too much. but because he
doesn't know how to distribute what
he produces. If prosperity ever re-
turns it win be based on the so-called
frozen assets (farm loans) of today"
