Labor Officials In N. C. Hit By Open Warfare The possibility that high leaders of the organized labor in this state, including the president and secretary of the State Federation, will find themselves ousted by the American Federation of Labor, developed to night as open warfare broke between the A. F. of L. and the Industrial committee headed by United Mine Mine Workers’ President Lewis, says an article in The Charlotte News Sunday morning. R. R. Lawrence, of Winston-Salem, president of the State Federation, talking to The News by telephone, said that should the International Ty pographical Union, one of the origi nal rebelling unions, be suspended that he would be ousted along with E. L. Sandefur, of Winston-Salem, State Federation treasurer. II. D. Lisk, of Concord, United Textile workers’ representative on the state federation executive com mittee, was automatically ousted by order issued by William Green, pres ident of the A. F. of L., which sus pended ten unions, including the United Textile Workers, Mr. Law rence said. Action to discipline the Interna tional Typographical Union, whose president, Charles P. Howard, is sec retary of the Industrial committee, was held in abeyance by the A. F. of L. Members of the I. T. U. here said last night that this action was pre sumably decided upon by A. F. L. of ficials because there has been lodged with the A. F. L. a protest asserting that Howard’s action did not repre sent the wishes pf the I. T. U. mem bers. The I. T. U. will hold its na tional convention September 14 at Colorado Springs, Colo., and members here expected the “split” to be the chief topic of debate during the con vention. In past conventions Howard has controlled delegates, but local I. T. U. members were not sure he would be able to do so at the con vention this year. Locally, suspension of the Typo graphical Union would cause the ousting of Claude L. Albea, vice-pres ident of the Charlotte Central Labor LABOR NON-PARTISAN PO LITICAL LEAGUE MEETS TONIGHT—THURSDAY Remember the meeting of the Labor Non-Partisan Political League at the Moose Hall, South Tryon street Thursday night, and if you are a worker and in terested in Roosevelt’s re election be present at 8 p. m. OAKLAND TEAMSTERS BUILD THEIR OWN MEETING HALL OAKLAND, Calif —A fine new $50,000 two-story building will be erected here at Ninth and West streets by Teamsters and Auto Truck Drivers’ Union, Local No. 70. Plans have been approved and work started. Local No. 70 is the largest local union -in Alameda county, with 2,200 members in good standing. The building will be used as general headquarters for the un ion, which outgrew its former quar ters. Union, and for eight years its presi dent. Mr. Albea also is a mmber of the city council. H. M. Sykes, secretary of the Char lotte Typographical Union, named as a delegate to the Colorado Springs meeting, left Sunday for the scene of the convention, and what local mem bers anticipate will be a “battle royal” regarding action on President Howard’s acceptance of an official position with the Industrial commit tee. Mr. Lawrence, in his conversation with The News, said he deemed it un wise to express a personal opinion re garding the “great problem which or ganized labor is now making an ef fort to work out.” He felt any state ment he might make would be con strued as favoring one side or the other and wanted to be in a position of being loyal to his craft, the I. T. U., and uphold his position as presi dent of the state federation, a unit i in the A. F. L. organization.—Char lotte News.

Y.—Mayor La Guardia appealed to the Teamsters Union and the merchant truckmen here “to exert every effort” by direct negotiation to avert the threatened strike of 15,000 truck drivers for the 40-hour week to replace the present 48-hour week. If direct negotiations failed, the Mayor said he would “gladly place at your disposal my good offices or any agency of the city” in an attempt to settle the dispute without resorting to a strike. Declaring that “the very life of the people of the city depends upon nor mal distribution of food every day,” he warned that “as Mayor I cannot permit service to be discontinued.” The Mayor made his appeal in identical telegrams sent to the Inter nationa! Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers of America which was scheduled to take a vote on the strike question on teh evening of August 31, and to the Merchant Truckmen’s Bureau of New York, which had called a meet ing to consider plans for coping with the strike.

Trade—Next to Mecklenburg Hotel—Phone 7159 -1 Cause of World Peace and Organized Labor Declares Cruikshank \ “The cause of world peace and the cause of organized labor are one,” declared Nelson H. Cruikshank, di rector of the Labor Division of the Emergency Peace Campaign in an address before 1000 striking em ployees of the Remington Rand Company in Syracuse, N~ Y., recent ly “This is because world peace is not a negative thing—the mere absence of international hostilities^—but a definitely positive thing which can only be founded lastingly op the foun dation of security, justice, freedom, and high living standards, which the workers through powerfully organized unions can establish.” The speaker continued, “Let the workers of this country Achieve de cent living conditions, and leisure— not the enforced leisure of unemploy ment, but the free leisure of a shorter work day—let them sense the signif icance that joining in a common struggle for social aims brings to their lives, let them learn a true in ternationalism through a^i interna tional labor movement, and the false glamour of war will have lost its appeal.” Mr. Cruikshank further i emphasiz ed the international aspect of trade unionism by declaring that the search for markets abroad leading to in ternational complications resulting in war were sharpened by the em ployers’ failure to develop j the great potential home market that would be dveloped by accepting collective bar gaining and its consequences in higher living standards. He charac terized the employers’ tactics as “at least extremely short sighted,” add ing that in their anti-union and “med ieval attitudes toward labor” the Historic Air Thrills Feature ‘Sky Parade’ At Charlotte Theatre The gallant epic of the hleroic men and women who blazed a pathway across the skies is thrillingly brought to the screen in “The Sky} Parade,” which opens Friday at the Charlotte Theatre. “The Sky Parade” is based on the currently-popular radio serial, “The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen,” heard nightly over national net works, and features Jimmie Allen, hero of the radio story, in the same role of millions of radio fans. Jimmie’s father, a wartime ace, who has turned to commercial flying since the war, is killed as he at tempts to take off on a flight for Paris, just before Lindy’s hop, and Jimmie is “adopted ”by his ifiad’s as sociates, William Gargan and Kent Taylor, who went through the war with him, and Katherine |DeMille, stunt parachute jumper whb is ac cepted by the flyers as one of them selves. Grant Withers, another ofj the old wartime gang in France, has landed in the employ of a group trying to steal the plans of an automatic pilot which Gargan and aTylor have invented, and Jimmie, in ground training at the airport, accidentally tips Withers off to the time the new device will be tested. Withers lays his plans, and during the first stage of the test flight, succeeds inj captur ing the crew of the plane, including Gargan and Katherine DeMjille, and prepares to fly the test ship, equipped with the new pilot, to his own han gar. I Jimmie, concealed in a loicker on board the plane, makes his appear ance after taking-off, and by a clever ruse, succeeds in getting cohtrol of the plane. Flying is easy, for the au tomatic pilot keeps the shipi on its even course, but how to land? Jim mie has not yet learned that. Sud denly he hears cheering newjs; Gar gan and Katherine have freed them selves, have located a plane, and have managed to get in radio communica tion with him.

Try on St. Tel. 3-6117 or 3-6118 Pleas For World Peace Are Made In Labor Day Talks I - Pleas for world peace and unity among American labor unions lay be fore the nation today, as it ponder ed ;the speechmaking that marked Labor Day. Seme excerpts from addresses by well-known persons follow: Secretary of State Cordell Hull: “W,e find today a lamentable absence of appreciation by many responsible and influential statesmen that these present warlike tendencies can only lead to a world holocaust." Governor Alf M. Landon: “We muist have the strong will for peace. We must be ready to sacrifice short run profits." (governor Landon: “It is to be hoped that organized labor may con tinue its part in the struggle for higher living standards* and to be really effective it must be united.” ‘fWilliSm Green, president of the Anierican Federation of Labor: “The enemies of labor will be tfe only beneficiaries of division, discord and bitterness within the family of or ganized labor. ” frank Morrison, A. F. of L. secre tary, said John L. Lewis (leader of 101 “rebellious” unions suspended from the A. F. of L.) will need “more than the magic that takes the rab bit) out of the hat to organize the un organized.” Norman Thomas, socialist leader: “The first wish of all socialists for the American Workers is for a vigor ous and united movement which will forward industrial unions among the unorganized workers.” Earl Browder, communist leader: “This illegal action (suspension of the Lewis unions) by the A. F. of L. executive council, is a colossal crime against the true interests, the further growth, and the all-embracing unity ofi the American working class.” Colonel Frank Knox: “The Roose velt administration “has passed laws ostensibly in the interests of labor that mean only that labor will be un der the iron hand of government.” Secretary of Labor Frances Per kins: Declaring 8,500,000 persons have found jobs, government or pri vate, since 1933, she said: “Some 1,000,000 men and women who were greater portion of the boasted brains and energy of the American em ployer is being spent in a foolish ef fort to destroy his home market. The speaker deplored, what he termed the “Hitler-like tactics” of the company in its attempt to coerce men to go back to work without rec ognition of their lawful organization.

Berry, president of the pro-Roosevelt labor’s non-partisan league: “Labor is happy to commend the President of the United States for hie courage, his vision and his consistent support to the proposition of human welfare.” John L. Lewis: “Under proper planning and regulation, American industry, after generous returns have been distributed to invested capital, could easily pay a minimum income to unskilled labor of at least $2,500 a year.” TOLEDO BUILDING TRADES OPEN WAR ON COMMUNISTS TOLEDO, Ohio—The Toledo Build ing Trades Council has issued a dec laration of war against “wobblies, Communists, hoodlums and those who direct and lead them.” In a full-page advertisement in “The Union Leader,” local labor labor newspaper, the Council strong ly denounced recent activities of al leged Communists and others, only a few altogether, who were charged with calling unnecessary strikes and otherwise acting in a manner detri mental to the great majority of or ganized labor.
