State Clio Drops
Plan 10 Launch
A Third Party
Political Unity Move
Indicates SeholIe and
Gibson Near Rift
BY JACK CRELLN
umes labor Fditor

knell OF the proposed third party
IN Michigan politics was sounded
here Saturday Al representatives
OF Go unions throughout the
state met TO map plans for 20
litical action IN 1914
Decision 70 abandon the third
party plan was made. by the II.
man executive board OF the
Michigan Go council and came
despite the opposition OF such
UAW-CIO stalwartS as Emil
Macy and Paul Silvers.
RESULT or SURVEY
In carefully wuTried state
ment the executive board pointed
out that il had taken all possible
steps 10 comply with the man
dates Of the state Go conven-
ton which had ordered that a
survey Of the feasibility of an
other political party al this time
be made and that report be
made back 10 the mewbership.
Despite all efforts of the
state officers" the statement
continued. "this committee has
not rendered a complete report.
Therefore the board finds II
not feasible at this time To pro-
coed 10 the second step OF the
convention resolution"
Commenting on the incomplete
results of the political survey
the statement continued
These reports indicate that
while independent political ac-
ton is undoubtedly favored by
a substantial group of voters,
the time Is not opportune for
launching such move.
Go ASKS SUPPORT
"The board therefore declares
that the convention mandate
has been carried out TO the
fullest extent physically posi-
BILE and calls upon all 10 throw
their support behind the Go
political action campaign"
& In taking this action. the board
was following the dictates OF
Sidney Hillman, national Go
director of political action, who is
opposed 10 any third party for the
1914 election.
!. Hillman's wheel horse here Is
August Scholle, state director OF
political action. What rift Scholle's
position may have caused among
the members of the council was
not Immediately apparent but IT
is certain that Scholle may be
burning the midnight oil in coming
months in order TO keep his polltl-
cal fences in repair.
That he is well aware Of this
was indicated in a Joint statement
released by himself and John
Gibson. state Go president:
"The executive board OF the
state CIO council and the sixth
regional director have reached
complete and amicable under
standing a. TO cooperation In
the Go politica lcampaign."
This was the first disclosure
that all might not be harmony
between Scholle and Gibson.
The statement was issued TO
ouash an unfounded rurnor that
Scholle and Gibson were not see
ing eye to eye on the CLOS polti-
cal setup

of the picture out Of the doldrums
Involves the addition of a brace of
rivals instead of the conventional
one. One is composer conductor,
the other a music critic and the
correspondence has consid-
erable amusement at their expense.
The audience does, too, especially in
passage in which the composer
and critic forget that artists and
their appraisers should always be
eloof and impersonal in their re-
lations.

Sensing that they were, Rich

comic predicaments for the hero.
These are principally the vener-
able ones of having Douglas slapped

miscellaneous articles of furniture,
and being pelted with handy knick-

bedrooms into which he Wanders.
