The AFL started early in 1858
laying down the law to its Inter-
national Longshoremen's Asso-
citation (ILA) affiliate. because
of charges that the union had
harbored criminal elements. The
lila failed to satisfy the AFL's
expressed desire for a cleanup.
This led to the LAS custer
from the AFL and establishing
of rival AFL union. Using the
emergency provisions of the
Taft-Hartley law for the first
time, Gen. Eisenhower directed
government attorneys to obtain
a court injunction to stop q New
York waterfront longshoremen's
strike.
AS 1853 came to an end the old
lila and a new union by the
same name established by the
AFL as a rival were feuding for
control of the waterfront labor
situation.
It was a quiet year for John
L. Lewis. He let August roll by
without exercising an option to
terminate coal contracts. evi-
dently hoping that the struggling
coal industry would run into
better business before he posed
new wage demands.
Contract changes were nego-
tiated in the steel and auto in
dustries with a minimum Of fuss.
In fact, none of the basic indus
tries experienced strikes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The
Nations $14 billion textile in
dustry ran into stormy weather
in 1853 but wound UP the year
with colors flying.
The storm broke around July
after about IL months Of smooth
sailing. It's effects showed up in
sharp production cutbacks and
reduced sales-a situation which
was expecting to carry over into
the first quarter of 1854. But
by years end the industry was
in much better shape to weather
any further sudden shifts in the
economic climate.
Some branches of the industry
Jared better than others. Cotton

much as the total wagered at
the first meeting.
However, if they didn't have
as much money then, the
track had some interesting
results because of the small
betting. One day during the
1884 winter meeting, some
thing called Sweep Vestal won
a race by five lengths. It was
discovered that of the 81 ,465
bet, none had been placed on
the winning horse. Track
officials finally decided to pay
off on the colt finishing sec
ond as if he had won. The few
that had Sweep Vestal to place
were awarded $1O5.8 for their
81 bet.
Well-known jockeys and
stake-winning horses have
gotten their start there.
Arnold Kirkland, Bill Hartack
and Carson Kirk are among
the good riders who were de-
veloped at Charles Town. Mil
cave, Meet-Me-Now and Brush
Burn, who won SIS, $50 last
year, once raced over the
three-quarters of a mile oval.
Incidentally, Ted Atkinson,
one of the top jockeys in the
country, saw action at Charles
Town. In fact he was suS-
pended for two weeks in 1887
for rough riding.
