BUILDING TRADE
 TANCLE MAY END
American Federation of Labor Will Try to Fore.
 stall CIO Threat

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 8-(UP) The American Federation of Labor undertook today to settle the main jurisdictional disputes in the build- ing industry, which its unions dom- mate, to forestall membership drive in that field by the Congress of In- dustrial Organizations.
 The executive council of the fed- eration's building trades department met with the labor relations com- mittee of the Associated General Contractors of America in an effort to establish some quick and perma- nent method of ending quarrels among affiliated unions which have in the past stopped work on projects under construction.
 It was considered that some con- ciliatory service similar to that headed by Dr. John Lapp, who re- signed several months ago as referee among AFL unions, might be set up. Dr .Lapp quit when some of the unions refused to abide by his de- cisions
 Must Secure Peace
 AFL leaders, here for the summer session of the executive council, be- lieved that 1t was necessary to insure peace in the construction industry to prevent the C1O raiding its mem- bership. The CIO has made the set- tling of jurisdictional disputes one of its main objectives in its cam- paign for members.
 William Green, president of the federation, disclosed the seriousness of the movement when he an- nounced last night that the execu- tive council would recommend to the federations national convention in Cincinnati opening October 2, that the charter of the International Brotherhood of Foundry Employees be revoked and that it's $500 mem- bers be merged with the 1000 mem- bers of the International MoulderS' Union of America.
 First Toward Unions
 Such a merger would be the first toward the formation of an indus trial union within the federdation which always has stood for craft unionism as opposed to the CIO in- dustrial union system. Green said other unions had complained that the foundry union had violated it's Jurisdiction and has been @ source of trouble for years. He said that this form of industrial union in the foundry industry, although strange to the AFL, was "necessitated by the changes in the way the industry op- crates"
 Green gave the AFL credit for the appropriation by congress of $50,00C for the expenses of the LaFollette civil liberties committee. He said the money would be used especially to investigate the Associated Farm. CTS, west coast organization charged with having opposed the union or. ganization of farm workers. Greer said, we want to find out whether any real farmer really has put an, of his own money into this. w doubt it."

FULTON PARK

Fulton Park, playground super visorS are beginning to anxiously await August 24, the gala day when all the playgrounds get together for their annual pageant presentation. Everything was going along smooth ly until they found they needed a piano. It dampened their spirits for a while but they made a gallant stab and advertised in the paper for the plano. The ad was answered and now the supervisors are very grate- full to Chris McGuire of Rose street who was furnished a piano. Re- hearsals are in order again, the next one being tomorrow at 1, and the boys and girls are getting all primed up for the great jubilee at Hamilton Park.
 The folks on the hill are waiting for the joyous news that there will be another block dance for Fulton Park section. The many requests for the dance are being considered but as yet a favorable place has not been found so the jitterbugs will have to bide their time. Last year it proved rather unsatisfactory to hold 1t near the park house as it formed young dust bowl for miles around.
 AS a special treat the older boys are going to have an outing to Mid- dlebury this Thursday evening with the two supervisors Walter Hayes and Raymond Earth. The older boys are having very successful season in baseball. They assumed first place in the tournament by defeating Town Plot yesterday aft ernoon during the playground series. Another group of boys is training for a track meet and the great hope of the team is the broad jumper. Fred Richmond who is training in great style.
 Other doings of interest at the park are the costume party which Is being held this Friday: the girls volley ball game at Division street
 this evening: craf: classes which are held every day; and the story telling hour under the direction of Mrs. Fogarty every Tuesday and | Thursday.

ORGANIZING TECHNIQUES

Odd sidelight on the contrasting ways of labor organizers, as revealed in the records of the Wage-and- Hour Division covering the appear ance of Clarence R. Miller. Texas mil owner, before the Textile 1n- dustry Committee at Atlanta early in July: .
 @. Has there been any attempt to organize your employees by union representatives?
 "A. Yes. They have tried In about four instances. '.
 "The c. I. o. tried to do 1t three times, and they came without notice disguised as workmen and asked for positions in the mills, but they couldn't get any signers. The A.. F. of L. organizer came to my office and introduced himself to me and asked if I would cooperate with tf,em in organizing the company"
 Mr. Miller added that he told this latter gent that 1t was no dice and thta this organizing attempt got no farther than the others had.

CITIES DO OWN MEDIATING

disputes through meolatlon ratilef than through strikes seems to be growing, and fair number of cities have set up local boards of concilia- tion and mediation. Latest tabula- tion at the Department of Labor shows that during the last year such boards have been in existence in Seattle, Minneapolis, Sioux Falls, Milwaukee, Toledo, Philadelphia, sheboygan, Newark and Ventura, Calf.
 Most famous of these, of course, is the Toledo Industrial Peace Board which operating through out on a purely voluntary basis was at the first of this year credited with having handled PIP disputes involving 35,000 em- ployes. Included were the settling of 37 strikes and the averting of 36.
 In some cities, according to of- ficials of the Labor Departments Cancellation Service, such boards are short-lived, coming into exist ence solely at the instance of the mayor and dying when he leaves office or loses interest. In others, however, they have made a definite place for themselves and have rem dered the community lot of serv- ice.
 In general, the Consolidation Service is inclined to think that a conciliator from a state or federal agency is apt to have more success, simply because he comes from out of town, isn't involved in any local relationships, and may carry bit more prestige than a local man would carry. But they like the idea of city boards of this kind and hope the trend continues.
