William Green clarified the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor's attitude
toward the administration wage-hour
bill today In letter urging the Senate
to pass the measure instead Of sending
it back to committee.
Some federation officials had sought
to sidetrack the bill John P. Frey,
president of the federations metal
trades department. said he had asked
number OF Senators to delay its
consideration until next year.
Asked for comment on what Green
had written, Frey said his position had
not changed.
Lewis on Green's Side.
John L. Lewis. chairman OF the
Committee for Industrial Organization
apparently was on the side OF Green,
his foe In the war between the A. F
OF L. and c. I. o. Lewis declined
comment on Green's letter, but it was
announced at his Office that c. I. O.
of11cials were at the Capitol working for
Senate approval of the measure.
The Senate bill, as revised, was SUBJ
stantially the type of a measure Lewis
advocated when he testified before the
Labor Committee on the original
Black-Connery bill.
Green's letter was received by the
Senate shortly after a non-partisan
House bloc organized to hold Congress
in session until the wage-hour legis-
lation is passed.
The Green letter. addressed to
Chairman Black Of the Senate Labor
Committee, WAS expected by the meas
ure's proponents to counteract the
sidetracking movement started after
Frey had sought to forestall imme-
diate action.
Letter Not Received.
Senator McCarran, Democrat. OF
Nevada disclosed Green had written
the letter to Black, but he said the
Alabama author of the wage-hour law
had not yet received it.
McCarran said the letter, read to
him over the telephone, asserted that
while the bill was not entiloly salts
factory to labor, the federation wanted
it passed rather than recommitted. in
the hope that changes could be made
in the House.
This development came as the Sen
ate entered its fourth day of debate on
the disputed labor measure.

North Carolina. opened the days

By the Associated Press
DETROIT, July 3o.-A United Au-
tomobile Workers attorney produced
at . National Labor Relations Board
hearing today additional evidence in
tended to show that beatings Of union
organizers at the Ford Motor Co..
Dearborn plant May rs occurred on
! public property. The company ha.
contended the organizers were tres
passers.
Attorney Maurice Sugar introduced
correspondence between the Ford COM
pany and the former village Of Spring
wells, now part of Dearborn, relating
to an underpass on Eagle avenue
where some of the fighting between
U. A. W. members and Ford employees
occurred.
Trial Examiner John T. Lindsay OF
the N. L. r. B. pressed for conclu-
sion tonight of the hearing on the
boards complaint charging the Ford
company with unfair labor practices.
Letters exchanged between. E. G.
Liebold of the Ford Co. and Spring
wells officials in 1923 were brought to
the hearing room by the deputy city

the underpass
After three weeks Of testimony
only rebuttal witnesses were yet to
be heard. Trial Examiner John T.
Lindsay said he would order a night
session if it proved impossible other
wise to wind up the proceedings today.
Through the rebuttal. National La
Dor Board attorneys sought to estab-
lish
l. That the Ford Co. had dis
tributed propaganda among its en-
ployes disparaging labor organiza-
tions.
2. That it had sought, through
coercion and intimidation, to dis
courage employees from afliliating with
the United Automobile Workers of
America.
3. That it instigated. through en-
ployes and agents, disorders on May
26 which included the beating Of
four U. A. w. A. officials.
4. That 1t encourage the solicita-
ton, during working hours, of men,
berships in the Ford Brotherhood of
America. Inc, characterized as a
company union.
5. That it permitted the discharge
OF 38 employees because Of union mem
bership or for refusal to sign a cir
cular vote Of confidence" In the Ford
management.
Ford attorneys rested their defense
Yesterday with testimony that all OF
the discharges were "for cause" not
because of union membership.
Earlier they had sought to establish
their contentious:
l. That the N. L. r. B. was ex-
ceeding its jurisdiction.
2. That the May 26 disturbance
resulted from q conspiracy by union
leaders to trespass upon private prop.
erty and incite q riot.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Most everyone in Kennewick Is
bound by heartstring ties to child
rem, and realizes what anguish al
ways follows injury to anybody's
child. A normal person would not
deliberately kill or hurt little
child, yet statistics show that many
are killed or hurt by careless and
reckless drives, who probably are In
every other respect what can be call
ed normal. We suggest that every
motorist, every time he steps in q
car, think of a child Ibis own OF
any child then drive every moment
so as to protect all children. Keep
before you as you drive the mental
picture Of some healthy, happy
youngster you know. Then drive
as though this same youngster were
at play in the street ahead of you,
or riding in a car that you are about
to pass. And don't forget when
you drive to protect a child you are
also driving to protect everyone.
You seldom ever hear Of an auto &C
cident being caused by too much
precaution on the part Of the driv-
ers.

DOING OUR DUTY

This newspaper, or any other
newspaper for that matter, would be
neglecting its duty to its readers at
this time If 1t failed to sound q
warning against further delay in
getting their spring cleaning and
done. It could cite dozen
good reasons why such work ought
to be rushed as never before, but
one seems sufficient at this time.
That Is the sure but steady advance
in the price of everything, every
where In the U. S. You don't have
to take any mans word for this.
Just keep on delaying the repair
work or building you have been
planning to do, and you'll discover
its truthfulneSs. Local business
places can sell you the things you
need as low-in many cases lower
than they can be bought anywhere
else, but the local merchant can't
prevent price increases. The pro-
Queer regulates that, and from all
appearances they have only just
started to boost them. So accept
this timely advice. Buy what you
need now, or pay more later. 49,
