Green Differs
With Init. Officers
On Trade Treaties

| WASHINGTON.-(F Action by
officials of IA international and ma
tional unions affiliated to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in express
! ing opposition to the reciprocal trade
policy of the administration was re-
pudiated here by AFL Pres. William
Green in letter to Secretary of State
| Cordell Hull.
Green replied to letter from Hull
inquiring about a petition circulated
| by the American Wage Farmers Pro-
| tective Conference, the president of
which is Matthew Woll, third vice
president of the AFL.
The American Wage Farmers Pro-
tective Conference statement declared
that it is the tariff group of the
ALL" and said that it's petition which
was unanimously approved "sets forth
in unmistakable terms the position of
Americas organized workers on re-
ciprocal trade treaties"
The executive committee of the
conference consists of IS trade union
officials, ID of whom represent AFL
unions. Pres. David Dubinsky of the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers Union (unaffiliated) is also
member of the executive committee.
The other three also represent unaf-
filiated unions.
Green's letter to Hull read, 81 am
pleased to reply to the inquiry sub
mitted in your esteemed favor dated
January 8. The headlines and impli-
cations appearing in number of
newspapers this morning to the effect
position to the reciprocal trade agree
ment program and to the further con-
tinuance of the entire program are in
correct
mo such action as set forth in the
headlines referred to has been taken.
l express regret that the misleading
headlines referred to were published
in a number of the morning news
papers"
The conferences statement de-
clared that in May, 1888, the execu-
tive council of the ALL unanimously
passed resolution declaring, "The
executive council of the AFL ex-
pressed it's opposition to reciprocal
trade treaties which discriminate
against American workers /. :"
One of the few items of specific
legislation recommended to congress
by President Roosevelt in his recent
message was continuance of the state
departments power to negotiate recip-
rocal trade treaties.

picion upon many worthy liberal
movements, the Dies committee has
done "incalculable harm" to the ord
erly progressive development of the
democratic process, the memorandum
points out.
The A. c. L. U. report strongly con-
demned the committee for grinding
obvious political axes, and for having
misused it's vast powers to discredit
the Roosevelt administration. This
was done, the report pointed out, by
linking high government officials with
alleged fayoritism to communists.
Although opposing continuation of
the Dies committee, the A. c. L. U.
noted: IF, however, congress decides
that further investigation into the
subject of action against our Bill OF
Rights is necessary, then such an
investigation should be conducted
preferably by non-political fact-find-
ing commission or by the senate and
house jointly"

SHOWDOWN ON UNIVERSITY
FACULTY DIFFERENCES Is
APPARENTLY FORCED NOW

I According to the testimony Offered

exercised censorship over Kaimin, the
daily published by the journalism de

At yesterdays Tuesday session O.
the board, two Legislators, ]. H. Lieut.

on the witness stand that they hat
lost confidence in Simmons and rec

the part of members of the faculty

Atkinson was spoken highly of by

unduly friendly to organized labor.

hearing and one which it is reported

of DR.. R. H. Jesse, dean of the college
of arts and sciences. He had always
been accounted as one of Simmons
supporters, but he testified that the
Simmons administration had failed for
the following reasons:
Il. He (Simmons) has a consider
able degree of personal vindictiveness

he has used to subdivide workers in
a department and in wrecking a de-

cumstances under which right may
be exercised or a penalty imposed, the
specification is an implied prohibition
against legislative interference to ado
to the condition, or to extend the
penalty to other cases" This con
struction of constitutional provisions
has been affirmed by other supreme
courts.
Other decisions by supreme courts
are cited to confirm the lack of right
by legislature to abridge the con
stitutional provisions as to term and
tenure of office which serve to take
from the officer his office without
his voluntary REIMBURSEMENT of the
office
Justice Erickson's opinion holds
that the filing for an office cannot
constitute an offense for which the
one already holding an office can be
removed from his tenure, as the Of
lenses for which this may be done
are clearly defined in the constitution;
that the language of the 1887 act
clearly shows that the legislature did
not consider such filing as resigna-
ton or abandonment when it states
said vacancy shall become
operative to DEPRIVE Gtalics sup
plied) any person of the emoluments
of any office, position, employment
or place then held" etc. The opinion
holds with reason that this Language
is only consistent with the idea of
removal
In final summing up, the dissenting
opinion states: at seems to me that
there are but two ways by which an
incumbent can lose his office before
his term is up; the first be a volun-
tary giving up of the office which in
cludes resignation or abandonment as
they have been herein discussed; and
the other by an involuntary giving up
of the office which is removal. The
subject is covered by the constitution,
and the legislature may not add to
or abridge the provisions as to it,
This act is manifestly removal stat
ute. 1t was so written by the legis
lature and it was so intended. 1t
adds other grounds for removal than
those provided by either section IL or
IS of article v, and 1t is for that
reason unconstitutional"
