MACHINISTS BACK
in AFL'S RANKS
Mine Workers May Be
Welcomed Back If Lewis
Gives Up Ideas

BOSTON. Oct. 7.-(P-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor received
the International Association of
Machinists back into the fold to-
day amid indicati that a grand
gesture of welcome would be made
tc the United Mine Workers with
the condition that John L. Lewis
yield first-llot afterwards-on jur-
additional conflicts involving h i S
district so.
The nlachi1Iists came back with
a membership outranking numer-
ically every other ALL union, but
federation leaders said they re-
turned virtually on the same juris-
dictional basis as they left.
Every effort was made to per-
suade the machinists to return but
no concessions of moment were
made, it was said. This is illus
trative of the attitude toward the
United Mine Workers among the
top AFL leaders.
The machinists quit last May in
protest against jurisdictional rights

the carpenters.

after the government takes off it's
control which some day it must do.
All of us have some capital. 1t
may be represented by the clothes
we wear or the stocks. bonds anc
real estate which we own. Capital
is primarily derived from work or
production. 1t may consist of fac
tory buildings, machinery, raw ma
terials, farm produce, barns or in
ventories. Examples are almost in
exhaustible. The principal sources
of capital are CD consumers
thrift; (2) direct capitalization of
the product of labor; 90 govern
mental thrift or taxation for capt.
tai purposes; and ca new bank
money or deposit credit resulting
from a loan.
The first three of the above-men-
toned sources of capital are alb
solutely sound. I am not so sold
on the fourth which is nothing
more than borrowing. There is
now too large an amount of bor-
rowing or expanding bank credit
against the purchase of govern
ment securities. The size of this
is far above the amount of brokers
loans preceding the 1929 stock
market crash. And all this credit
is being secured at a ridiculously
low interest rate. l wonder how
long the Federal Reserve System
can go on buying, for its member
banks, government securities to
the extent it has been doing and
letting the banks expand their
credits for this purpose.
AS an initiation brake and to
stop expanding bank credits, the
Treasury Department is now en-
deavoring to get government bonds
into the hands of individuals rather
than into banks. But to do this
they must ultimately pay higher
rates of interest on government
paper. If rates go up, investors
bond portfolios will shrink in value
and there will be a general switch
ing to equity stocks. This is an
other reason why l am bullish on
the stock market and do not like
high-priced, low-yield bonds.
Even a small rise in interest
rates will help banks and their
stockholders. Long term, high
grade bonds held by banks will,
of course, then slide off. However,
rates for unsecured and for col
lateral loans, together with loans
on real estate, should rise to swell
the banks gross income. Banks
holding large quantity of short
time investments in governments,
municipals and commercial paper
will be in the best position. Such
banks can jump back into the cor
porate bond market later on and
pick up some bargains in discount
bonds. Banks holding large guam
titles of long-term bonds may take
a licking.

terms an important personal de-
feat for Harvey W. Brown, presi-
dent of the machinists, who h d
led the jurisdictional fight in the
federation and led his membership
out of the federation. A great ma
jority of the members of the ma
chinists' executive board favored
the immediate reaffiliation against
Browns personal inclinations.
The machinists reported their
membership for per capita t a X
purposes as $4,000 as of August
81, which exceeds the Transfers
taxpaying membership by about
$4,000. The teamsters have been
numerically the No. l AFL union
for years. The ALL official paid
up membership is now listed as
1897, 421.

GERMANS STRIKE
AT LONDON AREA
Foe Tries Allied Bombing
Tactics-Hitting At
Many Points

LONDON, Oct. 7.-tR-The Ger
man air force, in one of its great
est attacks since the 1941 often
sive, sent a large number of planes
across the channel tonight n d
London anti-aircraft batteries open
ed up with their heaviest barrages
in months.
The Germans used the latest AL
lied bombing tactics but on a
much smaller scale-of hitting sew
eral places at once.
Only a small number of enemy
planes appeared over London, but
other raiders struck at East Anglia
and the southeast coast.
Huge searcnlights caught some
of the raiders in the London area,
making them good targets for anti
aircraft batteries.
Some bombs were dropped in
the London area.
It was London's second after-
dark alert in two nights.
After the first burst from Lon
don's ground guns there was a
long silence. Then they started
roaring again an hour later, sug-
costing a second wave of planes
was coming over.
A single high explosive fell ON
the grounds of a convent, b u t
caused no casualties or damage.
Londoners, including hundreds
of American and Canadian soldiers
experiencing their first b air
raid, braved the falling shell frag-
ments to watch the gunfire.
