Mathinisfs Unions
DisaffiIiafed From
State Federation

Upon receipt of strongly word
ed letter from President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor that the mandate of the
parent body, sent to the Arizona
State Federation of Labor more
than a year ago that the Machin-
lists union sin the state be disaf-
filiated, the officers took prompt
action Monday and notified the To-
Gals concerned that such steps had
been taken.
President Green demanded an
immediate reply as to what action
would be taken, and intimated that
drastic measures would be invoked
if the demands were not complied
with.
The Machinists International
withdrew from the A. F. of l.
more than a year ago, thus max
ing all locals ineligible for con-
tinuing their affiliations with
bodies chartered by the parent
body.
It is reported the Phoenix Cen
trail Labor Council defeated a mo-
ton to comply with the A. F. OF
L. request, and the matter is yet
to be decided.

Thugs Knife
Piickets At
Biz Hote!

Four members of Hotel and Res
taurant Employees and Bartenders
Union No. 631, on the picket line
at the strike-bound Westward Ho
hotel, were assaulted by two thugs
last Thursday night, one so serious
ly injured that he is still confined
to the hospital.
The pickets, Curtis and Eugene
Brown, brothers, with Manual
Encinas, were patroling the Fill
more street curb when the two
rowdies entered the hotel, plainly
under the influence of Liquor.
About IS minutes later they came
out of the hotel, closely followed
by three guards, who watched the
fracus without attempting to stop
it. AS matter of fact, it appears
the thugs went into the hotel in
order to bring the guards out, sup
poSedly to protect them if the
pickets showed fight.
In the scuffle, Eugene Brown
was pushed around the corner of
the hotel to the Central avenue
side, where George McNutt was
stationed, and who attempted to
assist him, when he was attacked
and seriously cut.
Police later arrested Elroy and
Arnold Mcbride, brothers, who
were identified as the knife WELD
ers. One of the McBrides is said to
have transferred just recently into
a Phoenix local union, and his
younger brother is said to have
made application for membership.
They are from San Diego, and un-
| doubtedly had some arrangements
with someone to cause the disturb
ance at the Swank hotel, because
ordinarily such customers do not
patronize the place.
In spite of the statement last
week of Sheriff Boise that guards
at the hotel must remain inside ex-
cept to stop disturbances on the
sidewalks, three guards came out
and unconcernedly watched these
two thugs attack deliberately and
knife the pickets. All of which does
not make sense to the average
unioniSt.
Charges have been filed against
the Mcbride brothers and their
prosecution will be pushed-and
watched with interest.

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

Harold w. T. Purncll, Il member
of the Executive Committee of the
Delaware Safety Council, pointed
out today that approximately one
third OF all firearms accidents Oc-
Cured in public places, and that
most of these were probably hunt
ing accidents, since they occurred
most frequently among youths and
adults in the active ages. Accord
dents fall mainly into three classes,
(a) self-inflicted wounds; (h) acci-
dental shooting by companion !;
I'd shooting by hunters in another
party. Contributing factors in these
! accidents were: guns accidently
discharged when the hunter slipped
or fell, when he was climbing over
fence, climbing tree, or crawl
ing through underbrush; or when
he was placing hunting equipment
/ in a vehicle. Excitement and over
eagcrneSs were frequent contribute
ing factors in the shooting of hunt
ers by their companions or by other
hunters. In some instances. the
person killed was mistaken for
game; occasionally. the victim
stepped into the line of fire.
I'm addition to accidents in the
field. many home deaths from fire.
arms due to preparations for the
! hunt
Delawares hunting season is
now in progress and Mr.. Purnell
suggests that every prospective
hunter study carefully these Ten
commandments of Saftcy for an ac-
/ cident-frec hunting season:
/. Treat every gun with the re-
spect due a loaded gun. This is the
cardinal rule of gun safety.
.. Carry only empty guns, taken
down or with the action open, into
your automobile, camp, and home
>. Always be sure that the barrel
and action are clear Of obstruc-
/ tiOnS.
/ 4. Always carry your gun so that
i you can control the direction OF the
muzzle. even if you stumble.
S. BE sure of your target before
you pull the trigger.
! 6. Never point Il gun at anything
Won do not want to shoot.
Z. Never leave your gun unat-
tended unless you unload ii first.
s. Never climb tree or a fence
with a loaded gun.
9. Never shoot at flat, hard sur
face or the surface of water.
10. DO not mix gunpowder ant
alcohol.
