BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEF.
Associated Press Science Editor

PHILADELPHIA. August 1.-THE
Perseid meteors, which Irish peasants
called the Tears of St. Lawrence -
partly because they are shaped like
tear drops, will be seen by the hun
dreds tonight in their annual
shower"
Away from city lights. and where
skies are very clean, these meteors
can be seen at rates of anywhere
from a dozen to so an hour after 10
pm. tE. S. T) They are fast-4O miles
second-so their streak of light across
the sky is seen only by the person
who happens to be looking directly
upward before the meteor appears.
Astronomers want a million law
men to count these meteors by the
hour tonight. The counts should be
mailed to Prof. Charles P. Olivier of
the Flower Observatory, Upper
Darby, Pa.
ms simple counting Of meteors
may be an aid to solving one of the
great mysteries, whether the universe
is youthful and growing, or ancient
and dying. Newton, from observing
meteors, suggested that it is YOUTH
ful, and that meteors are bits of mat

TO DEPOSE
GREEN FORESEEN
Movement to Unseat A. FL.
Head Seeks to Draft WoII
in October Election.
BY JOHN J. LEARY. Jr.

For the first time since that drab
November day in 1924 when he was
made president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor against his will, Will
liam Green today faces the probable
ity of opposition to reelection in the
October convention at Denver.
How far the opposition to Green
will go may be determined in At
lantic City late this month, when the
Executive Council Of the Federation
meets to draft its annual report. Such
meetings are always gathering Of
smoke-filled rooms and votes lined
up for conventions to follow.
The opposition to Green rests on
the charge that he has lacked aggres-
siveness and has, at times, vacillated
on legislation affecting labor.
The opposition would like to draft
Matthew Woll, vice president. over
whom Green was designated by the
Executive Council of the Federation
after the death of Samuel Gompers,
W0lI Has Refused to Run.
Woll for some time has been under
pressure to make the fight. Since his
return from Europe few days ago
the pressure has been redoubled Thus
far he has refused to permit the use
of his name
Time was when I would have taken
the position" he told this writer.
Thot 1,o ho,
the affairs of the Union Labor Life In
surance Co.. owned by labor men and
la Dor unions. to consider. That obll
CATION cannot be lightly dlsregarded.
Furthermore, must consider my
health"
His health, it may here be said, IS
good. He has, however, told intlmates
he is not at all sure he could stand up
dnder the strenuous organizing cam
paign he feels he should initiate were
he elected.
The pressure on Woll comes in the
main from a group that has been
quietly working for months. to use the
language of one leader, Ito get presi-
dent who viii, stay put and fight" and
it reflects much feeling in the ranks
of the skilled craftsmen who consti-
tute the backbone of the federation.
Opposition Under Cover.
Mainly because of the c. I. o. fight,
the opposition to Green has been kept
under cover. Now, however, with the
slackening of interest in c. I. O. affairs,
the opposition of Lewis is no longer
an asset to Green.
More recently, the opposition to
Green has come into the open. with
J. w. Williams, president Of the build
ing trades department, and John P.
Frey, president of the metal trades
department, appearing before congress
sional committees to oppose measures
he has approved. Not so publicly. but
quite as effectively, representatives of
union groups have worked in opposi-
ton to him "on the hill"
Mainly, the chief specification
against Green is that he has been too
considerate of legislation favored by
federation circles as its enemy and the
especially good friend Of Lewis and his
aide, Sidney Hillman.
Also, there Is the charge that, in the
c. I. o. fight, Green has lacked aggres-
siveness. that he allowed the c. I. o.
to get well under way before moving
against it.
Possibly as great a factor as any In
the feeling against Green is the natural
accretion Of enmities that no man in
his position could avoid making in l3
years
