Machinists Union

In JurisdictionoI Fights
Within Federation
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The membership of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists,
which exceeds a half million, has
authorized its executive board to
withdraw from the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in its discretion, q
top IAN official said yesterday.
Whether the withdrawal will take
place is conjectural, but the grant
of authority gives the officers a bar
gaining weapon in their jurisdic-
tional fights with the Federation,
principally the long-standing dis
pute with William L. Hutchesons S
carpenters union.
Machinists' union officials say Mr.
Hutcheson has used the threat of
withdrawing the carpenters union
as a means of getting favorable
rulings from the Federation In juris-
dictional quarrels. Recently Mr..
Hutcheson stepped up per capita
tax payments from about $4,000
members to about 100000 members.
The main quarrel between the
machinists and the carpenters in
wolves the question of which union S
members has the right to install
and erect machinery. The ma
chinists say that federation con-
vention clearly gave the right tc
their union. They contend, how
ever, that Mr.. Hutcheson has per.
suaded the AFL Executive Council
to prohibit President William Green
from advising employers of the ma
chinists' jurisdictional rights when
