Lewis Is Held Certain
To Stay Out Of ALL
Despite Green S Plea

The withdrawal Of John L. Lewis
United Mine Workers from the
American Federation of Labor today
was held certain to stick, at least
for the time being, despite the ap-
peal Of AFL President William
Green that the miners reconsider"
the break in relations.
An official of the UNIV said, how
ever, that should the situation
change I'VE are not far away from
the ALL" Mr.. Lewis broke with
the federation in a basic difference
of opinion as to the best way to at
tack the Taft Hartley labor rela-
tions law.
"The membership OF the AFL
sincerely regrets the withdrawal OF
aff1liation on the part of the United
Mine Workers of America" Mr..
Green said last night in a statement,
which made no reference to the
blunt I'VE disaffiliate" note Mr..
Lewis sent him late Friday.
THE friends of organized labor"
Mr.. Green continued, will be dis
appointed but the enemies of both
the United Mine Workers and the
American Federation of Labor have
been made happy.
1--WE are passing through a his
toric period, when the need for
unity in the ranks of labor is press
ing and urgent. Our enemies are
united against us. Can we success
fully cope with our united enemies
by creating division within our own
ranks?
1T is unthinkable that any part
Of a minority should withdraw from
affiliation with a deliberative body
because it decided against them If
we are to preserve the principle Of
democracy and be governed in for
nation of policies by democratic
processes"

lTU No-Confract Plan
Brings No Strikes, but
Relations Are TanqIed
By the Assoeioted pre.s

Y
The mo contract" policy adopted
in August by the International Ty-
biographical Union, AFT, has not
been reflected in an increase of
strikes or open threats of strikes in
the publishing business, a survey
showed today.
But the survey gave several indi-
cations that the policy is leading to
tangled relations in some cities and
that publishers are hopeful the stu
alton will be clarified when ITU
representatives meet later this week
In Indianapolis with the Special
Standing Committee of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton.
At its Cleveland convention, the
ITU decided that it no longer would
enter into contract with publishers
but instead its members would con-
tinue to work under posted condi-
tions of employment. The ITU long
has had a closed shop status; the
Taft-Hartley labor law bans closed
shop contracts.
Baltimore Shops Test Policy.
One direct test of the policy has
arisen. The Graphic Arts League,
an organization of 80 Baltimore
print shops, charged in a complaint
filed with the National Labor Re-
lations Board that the ITU entered
upon and engaged in a preconceived
and continuous plan and course of
action for the purpose of violating
the provisions of the Labor Man
agement Relations Act, 1947."
The ITU, the league charged re-
fused to bargain collectively in good
faith by insisting that provisions in
violation of the act "be adopted by
the employers as rules and condi-
tions of employment Tor their en-
ployes ~"
James Griffey, chairman Of the
ITU local at Little Rock, Ark, said
printers there have been working
under the conditions of employ
ment" status since last February l..
THE union is better satisfied
than ever before, the. men are all
contented," Mr.. Grifey said. There
is no compulsory arbitration any
more. No nonunion r1an has tried
for job here since the conditions
became effective"
Buffalo Work Stoppage Discussed.
Buffalo is one place where the
policy has brought open talk of a
possible work stoppage. ITU con-
tracts with the Buffalo Evening
News and Buffalo Courier Express
expired more than month ago.
The union offered us their form
A, an agreement designed to take
the union out of the reach of the
law, which our attorneys advised us
not to sign," Frank ]. Clancy, gen.
eral manager of the Courier Ex-
press, commented.
I'VE have had three meetings
without an agreement and the
union filed a 60-day cancellation
notice on August IA. Apparently
they plan to post their conditions
of employment, then call a lockout
if they are not met"

meeting with local officials. The

One Strike Year Old.
At Birmingham, Ala, Pat Greer,
the local ITU chief, said the new
labor law will have no effect on
u.s. as newspaper contracts extend
through March 81, 1919; commercial
contracts through August 20, 1948.
He said the same was true else
where in the State.

dated the new contract issue will

of the Buffalo ITU local, said that

suitable working conditions, he is
locking us out"
Negotiations Delayed.
In some cities where old con-
tracts have expired there has been
no move toward re-negotiation. In
others long term contracts keep
the new policy from becoming an
immediate issue.
In Houston, Tex, lie Roy Williams,
ITU local secretary, said that nego-
tiations with three newspapers there
the Chronicle, Post and Press
became quite involved in the new
regulations under the Taft-Hartley
Act and particularly under the
Texas anticlosed shop law" which
became effective September 6.
There have been no further nego-
tiations since August %. The pub
fishers asked the union to accept a
$7.50-a-week increase retroactive
to August 81. Mr.. Williams said no
action was taken by the union, al
though the 200 employees involved
are getting the raise in their pay
checks.
1--WE still are on good terms with
the publishers" Mr.. Williams said.
The publishers made no comment
on the situation.
Chicago Contracts Still In Effect.
In Chicago, newspaper contracts
expire October 81, shop contracts
December 81. Both sides say the
question of future working condi-
tions still is in the discussion stage.
The matter has not become an
issue in San Francisco, nor has it
in Portland, Oreg., where contracts
run to January l.

DIR. GLENN Speaks
AT TRINITY CHURCH
Minister Says Science Only
Has Begun To Catch
Up With Religion

Science actually has only begun
to catch up with religion and not
as many believe, gone ahead OF
religion.
That was the thought expressed
yesterday by the Rev. John c.
Glenn, district superintendent OF
the Wilmington Methodist church.
He spoke at the morning service
of the Trinity Methodist church on
Achieving the Impossible"
MANY persons assume that sci
ence has gone on ahead OF re-
ligion," declared the s%uperinten-
dent. "They assume that religion
is reactionary; science is pro-
gressive. A superficial survey OF
certain obvious facts would seem
to Justify the assumption"
The speaker asserted that sci
ence SO far from having gone
ahead Of religion, has only recent
~ begun to catch up to it."
DR.. Glenn presented as an exam
pie the story of the conquest OF
Jericho. He said the story is .
typical illustration of the ancient
method Of pointing out the peren-
NAL principles for accomplishing
impossibilities."
He said that no one in the story
expects to find any scientific state
ments and that the tale only re-
lates history.
But the speaker also pointed out
that Joshua who succeeded Moses

SOUTHPORT, Aug. 1.-THE real
movement of tobacco to the mar
ket from Brunswick county farms
will not begin until next week, &C
cording to growers who have been
interviewed during the past few
days. AL available labor is still
busy cropping the weed in the
field, curing it at the barns and
grading it at the pack houses.
The records of the AAA, which
maintains a check on the acreage,
shows that aver 1000 farms in this
county have tobacco growing
allotments and are producing this
year. To these may be added a
small number of other farmers
who grew the weed without an
allotment. The non-allotment grow
ers pay a penalty when their
crop is marketed, this being a
percentage of whatever price their
product brings.
No figures are Immediately
available as to the total acreage,
but it runs into the several thou
sand. AS a rule, very few growers
plant less than three acres The
average tobacco curing barn is
capable of handling the crop from
about four acres. A cropping
from this acreage will usually fill
a barn full. To insure better and
more uniform curing it is con-
sidered advisable to have the barn
full when the fires r started.
Several groupings of the weed goes
into the harvesting process and the
growers in harvesting three or
four acres cures several barns OF
tobacco.

Brunswick Weed Growers
Begin Trek To Market

In the case of small, odd lots OF
tobacco, neighbors may combine
and cure their weed together in
an available barn. This procedure
is more or less rare, all but a very
small number Of growers have
their own barns. Some have a
considerable number. Six or eight
barns on one farm is nothing rare.
Rice Gwynn, of Longwood, is un-
derstood to have about Is tobacco
curing barns.
Marketing usually means a
whole day, or longer from the to-
bacco fields and curing barns. The
grower must go with his load some
distance to the market which he
favors, usually in the adjoining
county of Columbus. There at the
warehouse he must wait his turn at
unloading, getting his pile ar
ranged and then waiting until the
sales forge reaches it later in the
day. His load sold and payment
received, he usually has a lot OF
erraads to do before he can turn
homeward to work which he feels
he should not have left.
And so, with the crop still being
harvested from the fields, cured
in the barns and calling for labor
with which it may be graded and
gotten ready for the market. there
is only a trickle of tobacco being
sold now from the tobacco grow
ing farms in Brunswick county.
The marketing feature will take
on added tempo as the need for
workers in the fields decreases.
The latter part of next week will
see the beginning Of heavy offer
ings on the markets.
