C.L. 0.-A.F.L. TEST
IN HIGHWAY ROW
Finish Fight Forecast as
One Accuses Other of
'MuscIing In.'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. ga fight
to the finish" was forecast today by
John R. Frankel. counsel for the Pitts
burgh Building Trades Council in the
contractural dispute between C. l. O..
and A. F. of L. unions over a road
building project between Irwin and
Greensburg, Pa.
The controversy became ma
tional matter yesterday when Mich
olas Stirone, A. F. of L. organizer,
notified national and international
unions affiliated with the Building
Trades Council that c. l. o. construc-
ton workers had underbid A. F. of l..
unions on the project in what he
termed "the first move in a drive to
muscle in on the construction in
dustry on a national basis
Its a fight to the finish now" Mr.
F'rankel said That job will never
be finished. The c. l. O. is invading
an organized field in the boldest show
of dual unionism that the labor move
ment has yet been confronted with"
Mr.. Stirone declared an intense boy
colt Of the project would be instituted
and said no material will be hauled
there by A. F. Of L. teamsters."
Efforts Of A. F.. of L. craft unions
IN Pennsylvania. he said, will be en-
listed to stop the c. /. o. construction
organiza ton movement.
Mr.. Frankel said Anthony Federoff,
c. I. o. director. rejected a suggestion
by John Keating, Westmoreland
County sheriff, that the unions arbi-
trate the dispute.
The controversy between the unions
arose earlier this week after the con-
tractor the Wagman Construction Co.
Of York, Pa, signed a wage contract
with the C. I. o. group.
Mr.. Stirone then charged that the
c. l. o. had obtained the contract
through threats and intimidation"
after the Wagman company had first
agreed to an A. F. of L. contract.
He said that, whereas the A. F. Of
L. labor rate for the job was IS cents
he had been informed the c. l. o. had
offered contract for a minimum rate
Of so cents for laborers. The C. I. O.,
he said, was 'underbidding" to make
an invasion of the construction in
dustry."

unseat the Senator. He was the
"favorite son" OF the Ohio delegation

National interest in the guberna-

labor'S divided stand in this industrial
State. Charles Sawyer Of Cincinnati,
Democratic national committeeman, is

Republican attorney general.
Mr.. Sawyer has the backing OF
c. I. O.'S Labor Non-Partisan League
and the personal Endorsement of Will
liam Green, president OF A. F. OF L.,
who votes in Ohio.
But A. F.. of L. locals over the State
have split in deciding whether to sup
port him or Mr.. Bricker. The State
federation has taken no stand
Mr.. Sawyer. often New Deal critic,

and will assist applicants in pre-
pairing the necessary papers, George
Peck. field supervisor for southern
California, announced Thursday.
Until the last of December, appli-
cations will be accepted for funds
to plant grain crops up to $3.50
al acre. This amount is to cover
the cost of seed and irrigation,
Peck said.
Applications also may be filed
for the planting of truck or veg
Ctable crops at a maximum of $28
an acre. The total amount any
ono applicant may receive is $400.
In order to be eligible, Peck eX-
planned, the applicant must certi-
fy that he cannot get credit from
any other source. Waivers must be
obtained from all who might have
an interest in the crop to be
grown. This is necessary because
the government requires first lien
on the crop.
The 1899 loans will be available
shortly after the first of the year,
Peck said. The exact date when
applications may be filed, will be
announced as soon as received at
the office in the court house. These
crop loans have been made in

There arc four stores, a black
