AFOFLATTACKS

Sound Principles Urged; Bitter Criticism of
 CIO Voiced
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Stan Correspondent

Denver, Oct, ii - (UP) --- The American Federation of Labor Set loose the full fury of It's attack to- day against both the rival Commit. tee for Industrial Organization and federal Bureaucracy"
 Matthew Woll, chairman of the resolutions committee and vice pres. ident of the federation, led the b7th annual convention into cllinactlc
 week of criticism of some of the out.
 standing labor policies of the Roose- welt administration,
 He said that the A. n. of L, will never again submit to tho whilns and bureaucratic decisions and iind- ings of any federal board"
 Woll called upon American labor to ignore the spell of social magi. clans" and return to sound principles by regaining mastery over its own affairs"
 His attack was directed at the wages and hours bill proposal. in- directly, he challenged the 0, I. o, to declare itself on the same issue,
 William Green, president Of tho federation, Tod the attack on the insurgent o. I. O. movement. He announced the chartering of new agriculture and white-eollar unions In the opening of 6 national coun- ter-offensive against the rival or. gAniSa tons.
 A bitter floor battle was predicted over proposals to expel the ton John l.. Lewis unions from the federation and to bar Charles P. Howard, In. ternational Typographical president, from his convention seat because Of his activities as c. 1. o. secretary.
 Any wages and hours bill satiS. factory to organized labor must de- fine the minimum wage and naxi- mum hours In tho statute itself, eliminating any possible opportunity for any board to have any voice in such determination.
 Tt is my firm conviction that las Dor has learned enough to Do now to surrender its welfare to the hands of those who know iioths Ing of it's problems, except in c most academic and more often than not extremeiiy mistaken manner. We have had our All of non-iabor so- called experts, and we have had our All of boards possessed of large and growing authority.
 We can easily enough allow the development of . condition of coin- pulsoFy unionism. with the state in the role of controller of oil labor unions, policies and practices. The national labor relations board, in spite Of the good 1t has done, is car- rying Us even now too far in that direction.
 "it iS up to the A. Y. of l.. to defend essential democracy, In in. dustry aS well aS in political life. That, l am ratished, expresses the policy which we shall establish here this week."

 Washington, Oct. il - (UP)-The Supreme Court today dismissed two chal- lenges to the right of Asso- ciate Justice Hugo L. Black to sit upon the high bench. The action of the high court, announced as the tribunal sat for It's first business ses- sion of the year, ended for the present any attempted court ace ton to bar Black from the bench.
 Although it was possible that q new challenge might be advanced later, the courts action today ap- peared to close the immediate legal phase of tho controversy which has ragged about Black. lt started with revelations In newspaper dispatches that the former Alabama senator once waG c member of the Ku klux Klan.
 Immediately after disposing Of tho Black petitions, the court an- nounced It's action in more than 300 petitions for review of cases filed with it during the summer months.
 It accepted O group of new tests of administration statutes and in ono action refused to review the decision whereby 1t held the New Deal municipal bankruptcy law ufis constitutional. This denial was thought to close tho door to re- consideration of previous antisNew Deal decisions despite on apparent change in the courts lineup from conservative to liberal.

 2.-Might embarrass the adminis- tration politically.
 3.--WOiild destroy the domination conferred upon the treasury depart ment by the gold profit" on the original devaluation.
 Ebersole listed as possible "favor- able events" a reversal in the flow Of war-released gold, resumption Of hoarding in India or elsewhere, Q halt in Russias expansion of gold production, legaliza ton of gold coin circulation again in Russia and the United States and increased gold exports.
