CINCINNATI-FP)-AFL Pres
William Green predicted here that
the AFL and Go would get to-
gether in time to form political
bloc of from 40 to so million votes
before the 1913 Presidential cleo
ton.
Voicing his views at an inter
view and again in a speech
before the Bro. of Railway
Clerks convention May IS. the
ALL leader said that the two
major labor organizations would
reach agreement on major prob
lens involved in a merger by
Jan. l and accomplish the mer-
ger itself in time for an active
role in the next national cleo
lions.
He estimated that the combined
membership figures of AFL, CIO,
railroad and other unaffiliated I'M
ions would amount to "a united
front of about 20 million working
men and women" which could
control an additional 20 to 80
million votes.
GREEN was extremely conf
dent of the likelihood of unity
with the CIO. 81 have found
from reports filed with us in
Washington that the rank-and- file
sentiment is growing in favor of
the merger" he said, "and you
can generally count upon the rank
and file having its way"
Although he did not expect the
railroad brotherhoods and other
Independent unions to join in the
united labor front at once, Green
said the fact that they had been
supporting the AFL's educational
and advertising campaign against
the Taft-Hartley bill showed they
would be with u.s."
Green said he expected Pres
Truman to veto the bill because
he had vetoed the Case bill, (which
was as nothing compared to these
vicious proposals" He also pre-.
dicted that Congress would sus-
tain the veto.

More than 10000 petitions were
distributed to progressive union,
fraternal, nationalities, and church
groups in nearly every ward. Hun
dreds of volunteer workers for
the slate, which is running under
the name of the Progressive
Party" reported neighborhood
meetings to organize intensive
house-to-hous action for sigma
lures, which must be turned in
by Aug. 10.
The drive was spurred by Judge
Samuel Heller of Renters Court,
who issued a statement laShing
the coalition judicial slate and
urging 'every citizen in Cook
County" to sign the Progressive
Party petitions.
THE coalition slate, he pointed
out, is put up by leaders of both
major political parties, who arbi-
trarily choose the candidates.
Thus only one bipartisan" slate
appears on the ballot at the polls.
According to leaders of the pro-
gressive drive, there has been no
opposition to the coalition slate in
most of the % years since it was
first established.
Judge Heller declared:
Democracy cannot and does
not exist alongside a one-party
system in which candidates are
nominated and elected by a hand
full of the politically powerful.
"And what is the so-called coali-
ton ticket but one-party sys-
tenn?

The International ecut iv e
boards of both unions had earlier
voted to merge the two unions,
setting up a farm equipment di-
vision.
JAW President Walter Reuther
fought the proposal both in the
board meetings and on the floors
of local unions. He debated his
opposition openly with George F.
Adde'S, international secretary
treasurer and leader Of the pro-
merger forces within the union.
LOCAL unions voted the merger
down. 1t was widely predicted
that Reuther would introduce his
own merger proposal at the COM
ing convention.
In a two-day session at the SHEER
man hotel here last weekend, the
FEE executive board cancelled a
special convention planned for
july 1926.
FEE board members blasted
Reuther as having effectively
prevented vote on the merits of
the merger"

THE election which follows
the nominations for Superior
Court judges is a sham. II IS
an expensive joke on the COM
munitY. Not only are the citi-
gems deprived of the right TO
select their judges. but they are
penalized to the extent of about
100000 to go through the mo-
lions of choosing the men who
have already been chosen.
THE result of the coalition
ticket has been that men unfit for
judicial position have been given
the power of life and death in
the community for no reason other
than service to political organiza-
tons. Coalition or one-party tick
cts have repeatedly frustrated the
community in its desire to sepa-
rate the judiciary from precinct
politics"
The progressive candidates,
Judge Heller added, have given
the people IAN opportunity to go
to the polls and register real
choice" He asserted:
sTheir petition campaign to get
on the ticket should be backed by
every Independent, thinking citi-
zen. In this way hollow cleo
ton farce may be turned into a
real election"

AS AN actual result, the SUI

Corrupt judicial practices, espe-
cially those involving receivership

Senator Pepper Backs Minimum Wage Boost

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman's twice-stated bid to boost the national minimum wage brought from Senator Pepper O. FlaJ today a proposal to shove it Up 35 cents to 75 cents an hour.
 And the general idea command ed enough Republican sympathy to indicate at least a fair chance that Congress may pass some kind of bill to hike the pay base.
 The new chairman of the House labor committee, Rep. Hartley R.- N. JD told a reporter that "person- ally, I'm very much in favor of it."
 The present rate set in the l938 fair labor standards law, is 40 cents an hour. All firms doing business in more than one state have to pay their help at least that much.
 Pepper said in an interview that new standard is "vitally neces- sary."
 MT. Truman didn't say how high he wants to go. But in two mes sages to Congres sthiS week he emphasized that he considers an increase necessary.
 Neither Peppers bill nor any other is likely to slide through without a tough scrap.

 Jackson, a Democrat said in an interview here he disagreed with President Truman that his budget was realistic" Allowing some S200,O00,000 for debt reduction is certainly not enough" he said
 Jackson added he felt there was room for tax cuts. "The chamber believes that first we must have a balanced budget through a size able reduction in expenses" he said. Then there can and should be a reduction in taxes. Govern ment revenues from expanded business will increase when this happens"
