ployes. They are the practical means
for the accomplishment of collective
bargaining, Whereby equitable agree
ments respecting conditions of en-
ployment are negotiated and consum-
mated with employees. 1t is not the
purpose or desire Of the Board to in
terfere with their legitimate functions.
Craft Autonomy Is A. +. of l.. Basis
"The American Federation of La
Dor is the exponent of trade unionism.
The trade union draws it's members
from a single craft or from closely
related crafts. 1t differs fundamental
ly from the industrial union which or
ganizes all the workers in particular
industry without regard to crafts.
Sometimes, there may be an insuf
ficient number of employees working
at particular craft to justify the
formation of a trade union in a given
locality In such instances, a trade
union may ignore craft lines and be-
come quasi-industrial in character.
Such unions exist in the American
Federation of Labor, and are known
as federal labor unions But the basic
notion Of craft autonomy is preserved
throughout the entire American Fed
Grafton of Labor structure.
"The cause of industrial unionism is
advanced by the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations. Between this or
ganization and the American Fedora
ton of Labor there is intense rivalry,
the details of which are matter of
national interest and concern and re-
quire no elaboration here
"Another forum that the Pennsyl-
vania Labor Relations Board must ul-
timatcly determine such controversy
and the relative merits of craft and
industrial organization. The immcdi-
ate concern of the Board is to remain
neutral, and to decide all cases before
it with strict and impartial justice
based upon the record and without re-
gard to the identity or afiiliation of
the labor organization involved"

Grafton of Labor, issued the following
ment:
Senator Wagner's statement was in
general accord with the position Of
the American Federation of Labor eX-
cept in two particulars.
"The Senator objected to the re-
moval of the word Interference in the
section of the law dealing with unfair
labor practices by employers.
"This was done in the amendments
sponsored by the A. F. Of L. because
the National Labor Relations Board
has stretched the word interference
to cover any and all situations.
"Many of it's interpretations have
been so far-fetched as to confound the
intent of the law. To remedy such
abuses of discretionary power we have
specifically stated in our amendments
what actually constitutes employer
interference with the legitimate activi-
ties of labor unions.
1--WE want the rules Of the game
plainly stated in the law SO that they
can be fully understood by workers.
employers and the board alike.
"Secondly, the Senator complains of
the amendment giving the Federal dis
trict courts jurisdiction to issue ap-
propriate writs to compel the Board
to perform its duties. He says this
amendment will result in delay and
prolonged litigation.
"We see no such danger.
"The object of this amendment is
to provide judicial review of decisions
of the Board in representation cases
and to compel the Board to act in q
case on petition of an aggrieved union
cat present the Board asserts its
decisions in representation cases are
final and not subject to review in any
court of the land. We consider this
position by the Board entirely unfair
and un-American.

"We hope for his aid and support il

"We will welcome the return Of the
automobile workers to our ranks and
pledge them full support in their eff
forts to bring the benefits of union

We appeal to those who left us to re-
turn to the family Of labor. There will

No special conditions will be raised.
Many Of those who were beguiled by
the false promises of dualism have be-

Data On Credit Unions
Sought By Federation
Experiences of Labor Units In Sc
curing Loans At Low Rates
Requested BY Green

Washington, D. C.-For number
of months the American Federation
of Labor has been studying the ques-
ton of credit unions, which have had
large growth as a method through
which persons in need of credit at a
very low rate secure loans in a safe
and convenient way and thus avoid the
exorbitant rates imposed by loan
sharks.
From a preliminary investigation
the A. F. of l.. learned that some credit
unions have performed a useful func-
ton, that some have been of question
able nature and that some have not
even been helpful when established
within the membership of certain
trade unions.
In order to acquire the necessary
data for completing the Federation
survey, President William Green sent
the following communication to A. F.
of l.. central bodies:
Following the instructions of the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, we are making study of
credit unions and their service to trade
union members.
''To make this study complete, we
need to be in touch with every trade
union whose members have access to
credit union services.
81 am therefore asking you to list
on the enclosed report blank all unions
in your locality which have credit
union services available to their mem
| bers.
! eff there is credit union for the
Central Labor Union please report this
also.

port at your early convenience"

by three circuit court judges
Robert Tucker of Multnomah,
James T. Brand of Marshfield, and
Arthur D. Hay of Lakeview-fol-
lowing transfer of the Luckenbach
injunction case.
Circuit Judge John Winter, who
granted the injunction forbidding
picketing of the freighter William
Luckenbach by the Maritime EN-
ployes union last week, transferred
the case yesterday over protests
of attorneys for the Waterfront
Employers association, which re-
quested the injunction.
Judge Winter ruled, however,
that George Cron, who defied the
injunction and continued picketing,
must show cause why he should
not be held in contempt of court.
The three judges now have juris-
diction over labor's suit for a
declaratory judgment outlawing
the Oregon anti-picketing law, the
Luckenbach case, and probably will
receive the case of 81 Congress of
Industrial Organization WOO d.
