Course Set at Meetings.
Prior to Convention

HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 20
II.N.S0.-Two powerful and i'm
portant tides Of changing thought
in the minds of the so-called con-
servative element Of organized
working men were clearly dis
closed by American Federation Of
Labor 1898 meetings here today.
Running debate and resolutions
adopted by federation members in
three days of A. F. Of L. depart
mental meetings preparatory to
the full federation convention
opening next Monday, revealed:
/. Adoption of a policy OF
friendship for and cooperation
with industrial and business
leadership in the belief that
only through combination OF
capital and labor working to-
gether, can unemployment be
permanently relieved and eco
nomic recovery for the nation
brought about.
RAP EXPERIMENTS
2. A sharp veering away from
experimental legislation and
laws placing much power over
affairs of labor in the hands
Of federal boards and commits
sions, coupled with a demand
that many Roosevelt administra-
ton laws imposing special taxes
IN business and regulating its
behavior be repealed.
A. F. of L. GOODNESS toward many
New Deal policies has been ap-
parent for some time, but not
until the delegates gathered here
for annual meetings was the
strong sentiment for alignment
with business and industry so
clearly revealed.
The big metal trades division
Of the federation has concluded
three days of sessions, and during
that time announced establish
ment of specific labor contracts
guaranteeing the employer against
industrial trouble for as long as
three years. The equally-large
building trades division meeting
already has brought unanimous
approval of declarations that
laws alone cannot bring economic
recovery.
PEACE IS GOAL
At the conclusion of the metal
trades session division President
John P. Frey definitely declared
his membership favoring repeal OF
special taxes on business, and
openly seeking establishment Of
relations under which employers
would be assured that labor was
ready to cooperate to maintain in
dustrial peace.
The metal and building trades
together comprise the major vot.
ing power in the federation itself,
and their actions set the course
that the A. F. of L. convention will
follow when it convenes Monday.
For the first time in four years,
the A. F. of L. delegates appeared
confident at this convention that
they can win against the militant
policies of John L. Lewis CIO. In
the past two yearly conventions,
particularly, the issue of conflict
with the CIO has dominated the
meetings. In this years sessions.
A. F. Of L. chiefs bluntly an
nounced they have met the dual
union opposition of the CIO and
emerged stronger than ever" and
Immediately turned to considera,
ton of other affairs.

Springfield
WomanFound
Dead in Pit
FORMER BROOKVILLE
RESIDENT DROWNED
SUNDAY MORNING

Springfield-Mrs. Frank Wen
nish, resident of Brookville
township until IL years ago, was
found dead in a water-filled gra-
vel pit in the southwest part of
Springfield Sunday.
The body of the 43-year-old
woman was first noticed by two
boys catching frogs in the pit.
They notified Harold Conrad,
manager of a nearby Oil station,
who obtained a boat and brought
the body to shore.
DR.. C. F. Reineke of New Ulm,
Brown county coroner, said the
body was not rigid when discov-
cred, indicating it had not been
in the water many hours. A post
mortem was held, establishing
that Mrs. Wennish came to death
by drowning and coroner's jury
returned the same verdict Mon
day afternoon.
Mrs. Wennish, according to her
husband, arose about $3.50 Sun
day as was her custom. He re-
manned in bed for a few minutes
longer, during which time she
returned to the room and got her
coat. Asked where she was go
ing, Mrs. Wennish replied that
she was on her way to feed the
chickens.
When Mr.. Wennish arose and
stepped out of the house, she was
not in sight and he searched the
premises without locating her.
She had mentioned wanting to
go to Minneapolis to visit a sis
ter and after comforting with a
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Billmeyer
who lives nearby, Mr.. Wennish
thought she might have decided
to make the trip.
He inquired at the bus station
at Springfield and drove to Cob
den to make inquiry, returning to
continue the search with son
who was at home and Mrs. Bill
meyer.
During the search, they learned
that the body OF a woman had
been found in. the gravel pit and
ascertained that it was Mrs. Wen
nish. She had not been in good
health for sometime.
She was born in Osterrich,
Germany, June 18, 1894 and came
to America with her parents, the
late Mr.. and Mrs. George MARI
in girlhood. The family lived at
Franklin for a few months be-
fore moving to Springfield.
Following their marriage April
%, 1918, Mr.. and Mrs. Wennish
lived in Brookville township sew
eral years before moving to
Springfield.
Survivors include her husband
and daughter and two sons, Syl-
vester and Leo and four sisters,
Mrs. Joseph Rummel, Springfield;
Mrs. Raymond Jordan, Minnea-
polls; Mrs. Anton Lindmeyer,
New Ulm and Mrs. Andrew Mack,
Sykeston, North Dakota and two
brothers, Frank MARI of Spring
field and John MARI in Germany.
