(UP)-Labor Defense Commissioner
Sidney Hillman revealed today that
he is engaged in conferences with
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and
the Ford Motor Company-both of
which have been cited by the Ma
tional Labor Board-to bring their
labor policies Unto line" with the
National Defense Commission.
The commissions policy is that
firms engaged IN government con-
tracts must obey federal labor laws,
Hillman revealed that he had
talked in New York yesterday with
high Bethlehem officials whom he
had told of the need for accom-
modating" their labor policy with
that of the commission. Similar
conferences will be held soon, the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
president said, with Ford represen-
tatives.
Replying to Congress of Industrial
Organizations President John L.
Lewis at the CLIO convention and
renewing a plea for labor unity,
Hillman said the Amalgamated
would remain in the CLIO despite
some wishful thinking" both in and
out of the labor organization. Then
he said:
Before you meet in another con-
vention, we will have licked the
problem of unemployment in this
country"
Not Leaving CLIO.
"AS the responsible officer of the
Amalgamated, Che is president)
tell you that there never has been
suggestion Of our organization
leaving the CO." Hillman said.
Lewis yesterday denounced pro-
posals for renewed peace confer
ences with the American Fedora
ton OF Labor and virtually invited
Hillman's union to quit the CLIO If
1t had wearied of the struggle.
A charge from the floor by a dele
gate that Lewis-controlled resolu-
lions committee Systematically de-
leted words of praise for President
Roosevelt from resolutions produced
mild applause and started con-
troversy earlier.
In reply, Henry Johnson, Chica-
go Negro, assistant director of the
packing house workers organizing
committee, attacked the New Deal,
charging that President Roosevelt
had neglected to wipe out Chicago,s
slums, to pass an anti-lynching bill
and eliminate fogging of Negroes.
The charge against Lewis was
made by Irving Abramson of the
New Jersey Industrial Council in
the course Of an objection to the

Shooting the Rapids Of
Colorado River Described

Shooting the rapids of the Colo
RADIO River for 1850 miles from the
Continental Divide in Northern
wyoming to Lake Mead. above
Boulder Dam, was described last
night by Amos Burg, author and
lecturer, in a talk before members
of the National Geographic Society
In Constitution Hall.
Motion pictures taken during the
perilous voyage of the Burg
Holstrom expedition were shown.
Mr.. Burg said the silt-laden Colo
RADIO does not break white in passing
boulders, making it more difficult to
avoid submerged rocks in the rapids.
A sturdy homemade 500-pound
rowboat was used in shooting the
rapids. A l6-foot inflated rubber
boat, weighing SO pounds, was used
during part Of the journey to carry
equipment, but 1t would buckle in
the rapids.
Mr.. Burg said that rowing the
wooden craft against the current
in the rapids, while slowing the boat
but little, did permit q better choice
of channel. In the course covered the
river drops 1000 feet. It took them
10 days.
