the AFOL and CIO in the
two organizations battle for pow

in the northern California labor
situation.
Hotel operators were reported te
have given informal approval to q
new peace plan which would allow
5000 employees to return to work
while the disputed question of the
40-hour week was submitted tc
arbitration.
At a mass meeting scheduled for
! Monday the strikers will vote on
whether to accept the plan and
break the employer r-employe dead
lock which threatened to spread
this week to include scores of sec
Ond class motel.
AS union leaders expressed hope
that Mondays meeting would put
an end to the hotel situation the
San Francisco labor council allowed
its first definite split on the AFOL
CIO question.
On orders of William Green
AFOL president, the council ousted
two unions who have voted affi-
liation with the CIO and also for
mally unseated Harry Bridges
president of the Maritime Fedora
tion of the Pacific and recently ap-
pointed head of western CIO ac-
tivitise.
Bridges was present but did not
protest his custer but prolonged
debate preceded to vote to oust
the two so-called "subservienp un-
ionS-the cannery and preserve
workers union No. 20,379 and the
filling station employees union No
1850.
George Kidwell, member of the
councils executive committee, said
every honest and intelligent dele
gate in the council regrets the sit
uation, but the two unions have
gone beyond our power to support
them by breaking the rules of the
council
He referred to unauthorized
strikes called by the two unions
one of which, resulted in outburstS
of violence during the week at the
strikebound Teagarden plant.
Next week maybe you will throw
out a couple more and the following
week a couple may walk out" CON-
mented Bridges.
The custer came after repeated
efforts of President John F. Shelley
to keep the council intact for the
sake of strength and was followed
by today's call for unified front
of AFOL unions at the 38th annual
convention of the State Federation
of Labor set for the week beginning
Sept. 13 at Long Beach.

posits of approximately $l,271 900, 900,

The association argues it is unfair
competition for the Government to
pay 2 per cent on the deposits when
many private banks are unable to pay
as much and when their rates have
been limited by the Federal Reserve
Board or Deposit Insurance Corp.
1t contends, too, that the system
was intended primarily to help per-
sons unfamiliar with the banking
systern-such as immigrants-andt that
the purpose has been served
Bills to restrict postal savings were
introduced in the last session, but
neither Senate nor House commit
tees held hearings on them. They
still are pending
Some would forbid acceptance OF
additional deposits, lower the present
$4,000 limit on individual deposits and
reduce the interest the Government
can charge for postal savings funds
