GREEN TRIAL SENT
TO CONVENTION
u. N. W. Board Says 1t
Seeks to Avoid CHARGE
of Prejudice.

Trial OF William Green, president
Of the American Federation Of Labor
on charges of Treason" against the
United Mine Workers, OF which he is
member, today was referred to the
January convention Of the U. M. w.
Today's action was taken by the
International Executive Board OF the
U. M. w.. meeting at headquarters OF
the union here.
The charges against Green were
based on his action in aiding in ejec-
tion Of the U. NJ w. from the A. F. Of
L. and giving approval to federation
afiliation Of the Progressive Miners
Of America, a rival organization Of
the U. M. w.
Informed OF the boards action.
Green said II am Of the opinion that
I could not comment on that action
now. My decision on this question
will be determined by the nature Of
any notice receive"
Prejudice Stigma Fought.
In deciding to refer the case to the
full convention rather than pass judg-
ment itself. the board today pointed
out that I'VE believe this procedure
will eliminate any thought of preju-
dice and William Green can be tried
and the verdict rendered by his peers,
the members Of the rank and file
who will be delegates to that con-
vention."
Green has been a member Of the
U. M. w. since 1890. belonging to the
Coshocton, Ohio, local. In 1924. as
q miner, he became president Of the
A. r. Of L.
Last November, as the split between
the A. F. Of L. and the c. I. o. be-
came wider and seemingly permanent.
the U. M. w. Board called on Green
to appear in explanation Of his con-
duct. Declining to do 50, the veteran
labor off1cial pointed to his long record
Of service both to his own union and
to organized labor.
Today the board declared that:
William Green's service to this
union terminated II years ago. For
such period he has been an ofEcer and
agent Of his federation. His acts
against this union began in January
this year. With his associates he
branded his own union as engaging
in . reprehensible enterprise. In Feb
ruary he served an ultimatum upon
his own union and received its de-
cision. In September, with his allies,
he elected bis own union from his
own federation. At the moment he
Is in convention with the adversaries
OF his own union (the Progressive
Miners). /
These things are all Of public
knowledge. To deny them u to stultify

This board attempts no appraisal
Of individual moral responsibility. It

Is also conscious Of william Green's
obligations to his own people and his

tary said they considered the 37th Di-
vision "anti-Japanese, for which rea-
son 1t was impossible for 1t to remain

flrmed.

ton Of fighting around Peiping IS
based on an agreement reached July

their officers and Gen. Sung Cheh-
yuan, who, IN addition to commanding
the 10Th Army. is chairman Of the
Hopei- -Chahar Political Council)
Chinese Fear New Attack.
Some Chinese still feared that 4

against North China.
According to advices received from
T1entsin, the Japanese Army is max
ing elaborate preparations for large
scale troop movements. Hundreds Of
carts, mules. horses and equipment
for \ protracted military campaign

1t was the second time this session
that both branches OF Congress voted
to override q veto. On June !, over
presidential objections, they passed a
bill extending the temporary Govern
ment insurance policies OF World War
veterans for another five years.
Per Cent Rate Provided.
The bill provides for a per cent
rate to 60 into force next year.
Had the President been sustained,
the farm loan rate now would have
been the prevailing per cent on new
contracts, and old mortgage indebted
ness which was refinanced at lower
rates in 1884 and 1885 would have
returned to the original contractural
obligation of S to 6 per cent.
In his veto message. Mr.. Roosevelt
opposed continuation of the low rates
on the ground that national farm in
come had advanced from S., 600, ,000,- :
600 to almost SIC, ,000, ,000, 900 annually
under his administration and that
losses to the Treasury from extension
Of the low rates would amount to
