Green Rejects
British Appeal
To Join WFTU
By TRAVIS X. HEDRICK

Chicago (FP)- A British ap-
peal for the AFL to poin the
World Federation of Trade Unions
drew a sharp rebuttal from Presi-
dent William Green, who at the
same time roundly denounced Brit
ish policy in Palestine before the
65th AFL convention here.
The appeal for WFTU affilia-
ton came from Tom O'Brien, fa-
ternal delegate from the British
Trades Union Congress, who told
the convention that unless the
working classes, through the labor
movement, "can find it possible to
sit down together in conference
on common problems, the pros
poets for humanity are dark in
deed"
Green, swinging his arms for
emphasis, reaffirmed the AFL
position against associating with a
movement which he said was not
entirely composed of 'free dem
ocratic trade unions"
O'Brien, a peppery Welshman
and secretary of the British Union
Of Theatrical Workers, spoke earn
estly in behalf of his own move
ment's affiliation with the WFTU.
"The trade union movements of
all countries" he said, "are the
ground on which a just and en-
during peace can be built" He re-
jected the idea that political, eco
nomic and theological forms of
those so associated must conform
to a single pattern.
In reply, Green declared: "We
are against trade unions formed by

45 Million Pounds
In Cold Storage

Chicago (FP) = More than 45
million pounds of meat are being
boarded in Chicago cold storage
plants, including those of the Big
Four packers.
The charges were leveled here
Oct. a by the Chicago Sun on the
basis of its own survey of stor-
age plants. The figure was a sharp
boost over its own previous esti-
mate of 18 million pounds and the
paper declared it was "highly
probable that the boarded reserv-
es might be even greater than the
news estimate.
Packers tried to explain away
the boards with assertions that
much of it was held for the army.
But the Sun declared it had prev
iously established that no meat
stored in Chicago belonged to
army or other armed forces, nor
to UNRRA, Federal Commodity
Credit Corp. or the Department Of
Agriculture.
A spokesman for Wilson & Co.
said "Wilson has no meat in stor-
age, no figures for publicity and
no statement" when he was first
asked about the three million
pounds held for his company at a
storage house. Shortly later he
qualified his flat denial with the
statement that "we now have less
meat than ever before"
Big packers continued to deny
that the storage of huge amounts
of meat was boarding and said it
was merely normal practice. But
Chicago housewives, who have
been unable to find a scrap of
meat or meat products for their
families for weeks. thought differ
ent. They promptly threw picket
lines around many of the major
meat storehouses.
Officers of United Packinghouse
Workers met with Chicago con-
gressmen to demand investigation
of the meat boarding and to urge
federal Intervention.

sumer groups here have under
