1T is impossible" he added, "for
us to assume absolute responsibility
for work stoppages until we

Those who propose to impose

simply trying to force upon labor an
artificial responsibility which they
themselves hope may collapse and
thus destroy the labor movement in

The proper way to develop RESPONSE

both workers and employers in their

Miss Perkins and Labor
Board Target of Pre-.

I DENVER, October 2.-Thrusts at
the. Roosevf.t administrations labor
policy marked preliminaries to the
American Federation Of Labor con-
vention which starts here Monday.
Making their attacks openly after
months of backstairs criticism, most
of the federation leaders centered
their fire on Labor Secretary Perkins
and the National Labor Relations
Board.
Both were accused of partiality to
John l.. Lewis rebel Committee for
Industrial Organization in adminis-
tering Federal labor laws.
The administrations wage and hour
bill, pigeonholed at the last session Of
Congress. was discussed at length
without single voice being raised in
Ts favor
Z John P. Frey, president Of the metal
trades department, told the depart
ments convention that powerful in
nuences" we're at work to place legis-
istive restrictions on trade unions and
limited that he felt some of the ad-
sninistration's labor advisers would
favor such legislation.
Green New Deal Friend.
! William Green, federation president,
took no part in firing this barrage at
the New Deal A lifelong Democrat,
Green is said in some labor circles to
be one of the administrations best
friends in the A. F. Of l.. high COM
nand.
The federation's Executive Council
opened the fire on Miss Perkins by
dropping her from the list OF digni-
taries invited to address the conven-
ton. Although the council gave nc
reason publicly for this action, Roy
Horn, president of the blacksmiths
Union, voiced the councils sentiment
when he openly accused Miss Perkins
of c. l. o. partiality.
After the Labor Secretary had re-
fused to indorse the federation's pro-
posal to amend the Wagner act to
protect craft unions, Horn said: u
felt like taking off my hat 70 Hitler
and Mussolini and apologizing for
every mean thing I ever said about
them, because little dictator with a
Msp Of hair under his nose is
much more preferable to me than Gle

Then he added: First We get q

wanted and none Of us ever heard oi

NEW YORK, October 7.-Closed-
shop agreements were demanded here
today by Homer Martin, president of
the United Automobile Workers, as
a condition to accepting complete re-
sponsibility for work stoppages in the
automobile industry.
Speaking to the fifteenth annual
conference of the Women's Trade
Union League, he also joined Govern
ment officials and other labor leaders
in protesting proposals to amend the
Wagner labor relations act.
Referring to frequent stoppages in
automobile manufacturing since last
Winter, he said, critics have for
