Inc., in connec tion with a courteous-driving cru sade being conducted from coast to coast. One of the local police officers Will ride in the car and broadcast traffic violations to those motorists who are not driving with the con sideration of others in mind. “We are conducting this crusade”, says Kirkland, "to rid the streets and highways of ‘screwdrivers’ whose discourtesies are responsible for 25 per cent of needless stop and go driving. When these thoughtless and discourteous drivers, who double park, turn from wrong lane; park on an angle and beat traffic lights, are removed, the courteous driver will save up to 25 per cent of his driving cost.” The Shell dealers in Henderson are serving as the headquarters for the Sbare-the-road club, and will supply free metal car emblems and mem bership cards to all local motorists who signify their intention to use common courtesy m their driving. iLEWIS CIO INVADES AFL BUILDING FIELD - Washington.

Lewis an nounced that he would organize a new industrial union among the 3,- 000,000 wage earners he estimated were in the industry. His move, which may bring the CIO and AFL into bitter conflict on a-new front, will be carried cut by an organizing committee headed oy Kis brother. A. D.

Lewis, the staff will include Philip Murray, CIO vice-president and chief of the steel workers organization; James B. Carey, president of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers union: R. J. Thomas, head of ClO's United Auto Workers union, and Dalrymple, president of the Unit ed Rubber Workers union. “The aim,” John L. Lewis said, “will be to organize all construc tion workers into a powerful indus trial union which will abolish the many evils and abuses that have be set the industry in the past and im prove wages and working conditions of all those employed in it. “Special provisions will be made by the committee for the elimination of unauthorized strikes, jurisdiction al disputes and lockouts, and the peaceful adjudication of labor dis putes.” Lewis estimated that out of the 3,- 000,000 workers in the construction industry, less than one-third had been organized by the AFL. His invasion of the construction field was regarded as highly sig nificant since some of his strongest opponents within the AFL are the leaders of the building trades unions. The move was considered a blow to chances for any early settlement of the long war between CIO and AFL.
