U.A.W.W WARNING
TO FORD VOICED.
At CONVENTION.
Union Head ASSaiIS
Green as Traitor"

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. Is
QN.S0.-Hoarse from acclaim for
the road they have set out on,
$500 delegates reconvened today
for the third session Of the United
Automobile Workers annual con-
vention.
For the second straight day men
and women joined in turning
Eagle Hall into a bedlam as they
gave Homer Martin a boisterous
ovation.
At the opening session Monday
his very appearance was enough
to excite a demonstration that
was so loud and lasted so long
that he postponed his keynote ad'
dress.
ATTACK GREEN
Last night they broke into even
wilder approval of his plans and
policies for the Committee for In
duStrial Organizations big new
union Of automobile workers. They
chorused his denmciation Of VIII
liam Green, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor,
with boos and groanS.
The promise to make Henry
Ford toe the unions line before
the snow flies" evoked the most
noise. They stamped, they beat
the desks, shouted, screamed and
sang until Martin gave up and an
nounced he would finish his talk
and annual report Of the union
affairs at another session.
The stage had been well set for
Martin by Thomas Kennedy,
Lieutenant governor Of Penn
sylvania and secretary treasurer
of John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers, who pleaded with the
auto workers to remain under the
CT. o. banner for a Finish fight
with the employers"
OBRIEN SPEAKS
He was followed by Judge
Patrick O'Brien, labor'S candidate
'or mayor of Detroit this fall.
He predicted the c. I. o. will give
he workers "the good things in
ife' they are seeking.
Martin took the rostrum and
he convention roared its endorse
nent of his statement that labor
will Ego down the line 100 per
emit for Judge O'Brien."
Commenting on the part Green
lad played, he termed the A. F. OF
=. leader ga traitor to labor who
;ided with the General Motors Of
'icials. His normally spruce ap
oearance gone, his hair and tie
wry, Martin leaned forward and
llouted:
Like a Judas Iscariot, he
gave us the kiss of death. We
liant forget he encouraged the
Employers not to sign"
STAND YIN rONO
He at last dropped his prepared
?xt when he came to the Ford
use.
"Mr. Ford" he said, "has an.
nounced he would never recog-
nize a union. Let me say we
already have working agree
ments with some q: the outly-
ing plants of that company.
Apparently Mr.. Ford or some
body for him, has already
changed his mind. Ford will
.urther change his mind.
Before snow flies he'd better
change his mind. We are going
% say to him: Henry if you
want to keep on making auto
mobiles you'd better put label
N them F'ords.'

Hours later-or was it years?-I found an

and dropped to sleep from exhaustion Some
one began to shake me.
"I'n keel-haul you, you" It seemed I'd
taken an ABS bunk by mistake, and to occupy
the bunk of an ABB. sacrilege. 1t was
worse-but let it 60 Sea language shocks

The ABS disturbance woke other members
of the crew, who proceeded to suggest various
things he could do with me. I was a worthless
brat, a pollution to the ship.
I resolved to learn what to do, when to do it,

Before anyone noticed me- I'd made the star
board rail. The gray dock fell away, stacks of
lumber along the wharf grew smaller. Our
dirty old hull spread the waves fan-wise swept
them back toward the docks. I scampered
through the galley to the port rail to watch the
officious little tug pushing us out of San Pedro
toward adventure.
That first sea of mine was smooth, unruffied
it might have been a lake. The Pacific! In
the convent I'd heard of Balboa; I felt I'd
known him. He hadn't seen any more than I
was seeing right then-not so much, maybe.
On the port quarter, Dead Mans Island rose
and beyond that low black mound lay mystery
I leaned over the rail, blind to all but dreams

Easy then to forget the ship was a reeking
old tub, the tough Third" the galley cook with
temper like Satan: I forgot the worn rigging
aloft, dingy sails-We, no, I didn't altogether
forget When you looked up at these, they were
magnificent. I'd seen pictures like this; now

the far rail; but he held me with iron arms.
The man was made of iron, anyway. He drop

Most of it was unintelligible; he doomed out
words to the tune of running feet
Out of the companonway stumbled one of the
men who had tumbed down it the night before
his head streaked with blood. He staggered by
the galley then began to step lively, seeing
Mr.. Larsen, who came up behind him. Mr.
Larsen was patient man except when he grew
wildly impatient, and to regain his calm urged
the sodden crew with feet and fist. Mr.. Larsen
followed his VICTIM and shouts came back:
Handsomely, me hearty! Baccaroo, me
hearty an huff her!"

But we made it, those cases and me- time after
