AFL Sues CIO For s29,212

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-The
American Federation of Labor has fill
ed suit in District of Columbia court
against the committee for industrial
organization, seeking return of $685.
212 turned over to the CIO by new
Kensington, Pa, federal local alumni
mum workers union Of the fedora
ton.
The suit, brought by President
William Green and Secretary Frank
Morrison, names Executive Director
John Brophy, Chairman John L.
Lewis, Secretary Charles Howard and
the CIO as defendants.
The new Kensington local bolted
the A. F. Of L. to join the CIO but
turned the money over to the CIO
officials while it was still in the fed
Grafton.
The A. F. of L. sought prelimi-
nary injunction in Pittsburgh, Pa,
court to prevent the officers of the
new Kensington union from disburs-
ing the funds but lost the suit since
the money already had been turned
over to the CIO.
The federation contends the funds
of the new Kensington federal local
are under the supervision of the A.
F. of L. and must be held as "trust"
until the federation reorganizes the
federal local.

BY JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS)-Th communist
party of the United States furnished
large part Of the dynamite ex-
ploded in the Illinois primary election
campaign, which came to a close April
II. Again it was demonstrated that
| it does not pay even to be suspected
of consorting with the reds. They
are "pizen," politically and otherwise,
lit is proved once more.
With establishment of the Midwest
Daily Record in Chicago, February II,
the communists not only renewed
their boring from within" tactics
in organized labor, but broadened out
to include the democratic party in the
state of Illinois. The comrades got
themselves all "balled up" and caused
anguish and great grief among the
old line politicians who attempted to
win few additional votes by accept
ing communist support, which is neg
Iligible because the communists are
nearly all foreign born persons who
have no vote
Igoe Conspicuous Victim
The most conspicuous victim of the
communist tactics was Michael l..
Igoe, United States district attorney
at Chicago, who was a defeated can
didate for the democratic nomina-
tion for United States senator. The
reds adopted him as one of their own
and supported him vigorously at meet
ings and through the columns Of the
Midwest Daily Record, which inciden-
tally carried a paid political adver-
tisement for Igoe.
Earl Browder, national secretary of
i the communist part, came to town and
addressed mass meeting in Orches-
ira hall. Browder, according to the
Midwest Daily Record news story of
1.-THE meeting, publicly indorsed Igoe
land denounced Igoe's opponent, Con-
gresham Scott w. Lucas.
In complete figures show Lucas de-
feated Igoe by a plurality of about
10000.
Lucas Spreads News
/ Lucas, a former state commander
of the American Legion and former
national il,dUa q advnca+a IF +ba san,a
Organization, seized upon this red in
dorsement of Igoe and shouted it from
the housetops. This caused great an
guish to surge up in the breast of
Igoe, who cried out that everybody
knew that he would not have anything
to do with "such people," and had no
knowledge of their alleged gratuitous
support.
| Daily newspaper reporters who en-
deavored to get the Nlowdown" on
the real situation, encountered flat
denial from Morris Child, Illinois
state secretary of the communist
party, that the communist high COM
mand, including Bowden, had indorsed
Igoe
Notwithstanding these denials, the
Midwest Daily Record carried an Off
cial Endorsement of Igoe and of four
other democratic candidates on Mon
! day morning, April IL, following the

Clio HEADS
Decide to Form Permanent
National Body

Washington, D. G. (ILNS) Deci-
sion to form a permanent national
organization was made at two-day
meeting here of the heads of 38 unions
AFFILIATED with the committee for in
'dustrial organization The vote was
unanimous, except that Julius Hoch-
man, representing the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, did
not vote. The convention will be held
early next fall
Chairman John L. Lewis, of the
|CIO, said arrangements for the con-

committee composed Of Vice Chairman
Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman,
who will set the time and place.
The convention will adopt a con-
stitution and bylaws and probably
will change the CLOS name, Lewis
said.
Lewis said the CIO voted complete
support" of the q railway labor or
ganizations in opposition to propos-
ed wage cuts. He said a Go indus
trial council will be established in
New York city and vicinity. and in
structed all affiliated unions to join
the organization.
The convention adopted a 1O-point
program for relief and work relief
to guide their local unions in handling
the unemployment problem. A resolu-
tion was passed saying that the CLOS
100000 members will consider it
a dereliction of duty and betrayal
of labor" if congress adiourns with
out enacting complete legislative
recovery program.
The conferees condemned proposed
mediation and arbitration legislation
for the maritime industry, and cen
sored the federal maritime commits
sion for "anti-labor practices"
Legislative measures put on the
CLOS must" list included adequate
work relief appropriations, housing,
minimum wage and hour regulations
and the Wagner measure which bans
government loans and contracts to
firms which have been certified as
violating the labor relations act.

HIGH GRAVITY

In COLORADO

A prosperous new year is in pros
pect for w. NJ. Fulton Of Shelby
with the development of an import
ant oil field on Wilson creek struc-
ture, 40 miles southwest of Craig,
Moffat county, Colorado.
Fulton has two structures in the
district which will likely be tested
Immediately as a result of the Will
son Greek discovery. These struc-
lures are known as Garmesia and
Salt Wash domes. The former is
proven for gas production.
The discovery well has an indi-
Gated production of 1900 barrels
per day from a depth OF 6704 feet,
in the Morrison sand. It will prob
ably be carried on down 100 feet
to the Sundance ellis
While only 20 feet from lies
field, the well is likely to cause a
large amount of deep drilling in
Colorado with good possibilities of
important production. II Is AIS

desirable field. The structure was

HAvRE GAS
PROJECT IS
LIVE AGAIN

Like the proverbial cat of nine
lives the Havre municipal gas system
has again come to life after having
been officially dead.
Last week it was announced that
the grant of federal funds, through
PWlA, had been cancelled. On
Christmas day Secretary Ickes OF
the department of the interior per-
soinally restored the 100000 allot-
ment and the efforts to find a sup
ply of gas for a municipal plant
has gone merrily on.
This week Walter Drought moved
his spudder from a location south
of the town of Havre to the flank
of BOX Elder structure in SW Il
SEA Section 12-34-N-17E, about a
mile from the O'Neil well which
furnishes part of the Havre gas
supply. It is within the 10-mile
limit provided in the PWA grant.
Meanwhile, leasing continues on
Bowes structures, south of Chinook,
and "a miles from Havre, with J.
Bland Catlett in charge Catlett
and A. d. Hobson of Huntington
Beach, Cal, have secured a num-
Der of good leases on the south
dome Of Bowes, from which Havre
is getting its major gas supply,
and have been taking additional
leases on the north dome. ]. r.
Mclaughlin Co. agreed to build
the IA miles of pipeline from Bowes
to the 10-mile limit to which the
Havre PWA line may be built.

refinery deal will not be announced
until the plans are all laid. Involv-
ed is a 5.OOO-barrel plant which will
be able to manufacture gasoline in
competition with importers, to sup
ply not only Montana but North and
Souh Dakota on the East and Wash
ington, Idaho and Oregon on the
West.
The success of any refining enter
prise is said to depend in large
measure upon volume production,
the throughput cost per barrel
dropping as the capacity increases.
A 5,O00-barrel refinery is said to
be the plant of maximum efficiency
for the Montana market.
1t is stated that the only factor
that may defeat the plan to secure
such a plant for Montana is the
inability to get sufficient crude and
crude reserves to justify the in
stallation 1t is believed that pro-
ducers will present a united front
in the belief that one large plant
will definitely establish the Montana
refining industry and stabilize the
crude market, with the price of
crude based on the price OF gaso-
line in the Montana market.
Some time ago Globe Refining
company was reported connected
with the Montana refinery situation
but Officials have steadfastly re-
fused to make any statement or give
any comment.
