they taste it.
So sales were halted, and the ale

Council 10 Fight
'Gangsterism'
Cites Action in Chicago
And New York; Leaders
Meet Here. Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President William Green said yes
terday that he would ask the
American Federation of Labor
Executive Council, at a meeting
here tomorrow, to take action
against what he called "gangster
penetration" of its af11liated unions.
I'VE have dealt decisively with
gangster penetration in our Federal
labor unions in Chicago and New
York where we had the power to do
It," Mr., Green said in an interview.
1T is my purpose to bring every
case of this kind to the councils
attention, and ask the council to
call on the international unions to
deal with this situation as effectively
as we did in the Federal unions"
The Federal unions are under the
direct control of federation officials
as distinguished from international
unions which are described as au-
tonomous and self-governing in
their internal affairs.
The A. F. of L. high command. in
reply to complaints of alleged rack
eteering in International unions,
has said in the past that federation
officials were powerless to control
the internal affairs of such organ
izations.
Daniel j. Tobin. member of the
council and head of the teamsters'
union, recently called on his own
union for new powers to deal with
racketeers, describing them as mis-
cradle. dishonest, unprincipled
scoundrels who have brought
the blush of shame to our honest
membership"
The council session will be devoted
largely to the preparation of its an
