WALLACE, Oct. II. - Will

and I'm no pygmy, myself. That
is, with my shoes on.
He was intensely interested in
the flood of tobacco that was on

Seems he's corrected with the

COURT TEST MAY
Be new AL MOVE
Green Says Union To Use
Member Assessments
For Law Fight

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II
R-President William Green, in
what possibly foreshadowed a
court test of Taft-Hartley law
prohibitions, said today the Am
erican Federation of Labor in
tended to use member assess
ments to finance an "education-
al and international" campaign
against the law.
Green declared the AL would
differentiate clearly between the
use of funds for "educational'
activity and the financing OF oil
rect political campaigns.
eff we want to educate the
workers and point out the fall
lacies of the Taft-Hartley law,
it was decided we could use our
union funds to carry out an
educational and International
campaign" he told reporters
following an executive council
session.
"But when you go into
Senatorial and Congressional
districts to carry on campaigns
against some candidate, that
must be financed by a voluntary
contribution"
Court Test Likely
Green yesterday said a court
test on the use of union funds
against the Taft-Hartly law and
its Congressional enactors might
be necessary. His comment was
on a statement in Ohio by Sena-
tor Taft (R-Ohio) questioning
the illegal right" of the ALL to
raise a campaign fund by mem
Der assessment. Taft said levies
in the form of voluntary contri-
buttons would be permissible.
The Taft-Hartley law prohibits
the use of union funds, raised
by involuntary member assess
ment, for political purposes.
Green did not elaborate on
what plans were in mind for
gathering voluntary contri-
buttons. This question. with that
of organizing Labor's Education
al and Political League, will be
determined at a conference of
the AFL's 105 national and inter
national presidents in Washing
ton Dec. Sc.
The convention directed the
executive council to create the
league as the instrumentality for
political action and Informative
purposes.
The league, Green said, would
be IAN organization in opposi-
ton to all (political) candidates
who voted for the Taft-Hartley
bill"
Green said he did not know
how much would be needed in
voluntary contributions, but ex-
pected cit will be a very gener-
Gus response because the rank
and file are very much aroused
over the Taft-Hartley law"
Dodge Question
The council, which John T..
Lewis bolted over differences
with the AFL's hierarchy, put
over until the Miami meeting
the touchy questions of how to
deal with jurisdictional disputes
growing out of the United Mine
the conventions position against
Workers District so and acting on

Green said, however, he was
calling a conference soon of the
dlsputants in the HOLLYWOOD

again to iron out the two-vear.

he's getting just as much in the

way, when he told me cigaret con-
sumption is only about 10 per
cent off because of the recent high
taxes that made it necessary to
shoot cigaret prices up to three or
four times what we pay for them
in this country. And even with
this 10 per cent reduction there're
more cigarets being smoked in
England now than there were be-
bore the war.
The English really got down to
smoking during the war. l learn
ed from Mr.. Damerell. Seems
that the bombings caused this.
The English were staying up just
about "a hours per day to duck
the bombs - living in shelters -
and they just naturally smoked
more because they had more
awake hours. The women got to
smoking more out in the open
and thus cigaret consumption
went way up. Seems that bomb
ing made them nervous and they
figured they could calm them
selves by lighting up. Well, the
habit stuck. And it's a good thing
it did, too, so far as our farmers
are concerned because if the Brit
ish had cut any more on smoking
there'd be a lot of tobacco grown
