Convention Of Federation Of
Labor Begins al Houston, Tex.
President Green Attacks Policies
of Committee for Industrial
Organization.
Culinary Workers Submit Reso-
luton Designed to Effect Re-
Cancellation.

HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 3.-The
58th convention of the American
Federation of Labor opened here
today with a furious attack by Presi-
dent William Green against the CLIO,
the other half of the American labor
movement, and against the admins
tration of the Wagner Act, most out
standing of the federal governments
labor laws.
Green's speech was in contradic-
ton to resolutions various unions
put before the convention demand
ing peace and unity with the CLIO.
Green's accusation that CLIO chair
man John L. Lewis was "Commu-
%nistic," and attempting to destroy
the labor unions" was applauded by
the die-hard international union rep
r~esentatives who control this con
vention.
1t was in line with an equally
heated attack on the CLIO and the
National Labor Relations Board in
the report today of the executive
council, and the actions last week of
the metal trades department and
building trades department.
american labor will not tolerate
governmental control-government-
al dictation," shouted Green. I'VE
serve warning that we will go be-
fore Congress this winter and de-
mand that changes be made in this
law and in the personnel of the
board which administers it."
Unity Demanded
In spite of the official keynote,
the demand of the AL rank and
file was felt at the convention
through resolutions for unity of la
Dor, support of the New Deal and
progressive policies.

his determination to continue waging
a fight for passage of the Townsend
pension plan, and making a frank
and open effort to present the actual
issues of the day to his constituents.
Congressman O'Connell says that
such a course is necessary because
of the impossibility of securing a
fair statement of his record or his
program through the medium of the
majority of the daily press of the
state. He is therefore taking his
case directly to the people.
O'Connell will speak at Butte, Oct.
6, 8, and Nov. 7th.

NYA MEETING HERE
EXPRESSES PRAISE FOR
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

Meeting at the Y. M. c. A., the
state advisory committee of the
National Youth Administration, to-
gether with all zone, district, county
and project supervisors, began their
sessions at 10 a. m. with State Di-
rector ]. B. Love opening the meet
ing. Mr.. Love in a talk lasting an
hour and a half, outlined the origin
of the National Youth Administra-
ton, growth to the present, amount
of money allocated by the federal
government during the last several
years, and the changes that have
been wrought in the method of pro-
cedure and operation. President
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt were
praised highly by the state director
for their interest in the work evil
denced at a meeting at Hyde Park
last summer which Mr.. Love attend
ed. Some criticism was made by
members of the state committee in
the alleged practice Of the universe
ties in not caring for the students as
they formerly did but in permitting
the NYA to absorb assistance that
had been formerly rendered by the
universities themselves.
In mentioning the new program
Of the NYA, Mr.. Love stated that
h~enceforth more emphasis will be
placed on resident training than on
individual assistance and in this re-
spect reduced quotas may be ex-
pected under future operations. APP
peal was made to the trades union
organizations to permit more liberal
Interpretation of NYA rules in the
matter of permitting youths to OBJ
tain training in work shops. 1t was
the intention of the National Youth
Administration to assist students in
acquiring additional education and
also to assist them in training for
future citizenship and industry.
However, the State Welfare Com
mission seems to have gotten the
idea that the money now paid to
students should be used to augment
the family budget and thereby be
used as a lever to reduce income OF
budget from relief sources. This was
condemned by Mr.. Love. A feature
which should be complimented was
that the NYA recently added to the
ciriculum that each person coming
under the work project phase of the
program shall be required to secure
10 hours of education along with the
work.
Kenneth W. Rowe, regional direc-
tor from Denver, addressed the
meeting. He explained the funda'
mental purposes of the administra.
ton, stating that it was primarily
for vocational training and youth
guidance in order to make better
citizens. Mr.. Rowe will remain ii
Butte to confer with the advisory
committee during the three-day ses.
sion. The members of the state ad.
visory committee are as follows:
Mr.. Payne Templeton, Helena
superintendent of schools, represent
education.
Mr.. A.. T. Peterson, Billings, rep.
resents business.
Mr.. John Hanrahan, 416 Atlantic
Ave, Miles City, represents youth
Cap. William J. Reed, Fort Mis-
soula, Missoula, represents CCC.
Mr.. Clarence Blewett, care of Mon

ADJUTANTS GENERAL
MEET HERE IN APRIL
Militia Heads to Discuss Guard
Problems With Officials of
War Department

Proplems facing the National Guard
units OF the country will be threshed
out next month when the Adiutants
General Association convenes here in
It's annual session. In addition to the
militia officials the conference will be
attended by ranking officers of the
National Guard Bureau and of the
War Department. The conference
will be April 4, and s, set by Brig
Gen. J. Van B. Metts. adjutant gen.
eral of the North Carolina National
Guard.
1t is expected by that time the
War Department and the National
Guard Bureau will have been able to
break down its appropriations for the
next fiscal year. beginning on July /,
and will discuss with the militia
officials the manner in which they are
to be allocated.
One of the big problems is the ques-
ton of increases in personnel which
have been allocated from time to time
under the authority of Congress. Some
of these units have furnished to the
District Of Columbia and to the States
problems of housing and the distribu-
tion and storage of necessary training
equipment.
Local Guard officials are hoping
they will be able to report to the con-
ference that Congress has at last made
provision for q site for the construc-
tiOn OF an armOry here. and that nlans
may be promptly formulated for get
ting building designed, with funds
to be provided subsequently for its con-
struction. The Senate restored the
armory site item to the District ap-
preparation bill, after the House had
knocked it out, and Senator King of
Utah has informed the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion he intends to make a strong fight
in the conference to keep the item in
the measure.
With site provided for the armory,
and funds with which to purchase
material, there is a possibility local
officials will make an effort to have
the Public Works Administration make
an ALLEGATION sufficient to pay for the
labor for the erection of the building.
In past efforts to obtain some of this
money the District officials have been
baked because of the fact that they
did not have site for the structure,
and public works funds are not avail
able for such purchases.
