Connery, | Democrat of Massachusetts. Connery probably became | best known through his authorship with Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama of the widely known Black- Connery hour and wage measure now before Congress following the recommendation of President Roosevelt. Connery what might be termed a laborite. In other words, he was a strong advocale of decent wage standards, a principle which had been drilled into him by his Irish father. “Low wages and long hours have always been the chief cause of strikes,” he said recently in sup- porting his bill. “The immediate need is to provide a decent standard of living for the underprivileged.” His was a broad principle and an honest one. Best nvidence of the high regard in which the Congres inan was held was his nomination by both the Demo- cratic and Republican party in his district as a candi- date for Congress. The death of a man thought of that well among his own people is a distinct loss not alone in his own district but to the nation. l was (100\ THE (‘0\ T AFL V Though the (ighl in steel centers the national labor interest at the present time, the voting of wood- workers and longshoremen on the west coast is direct- ing considerable attention to whether the Committe of Industrial Organization or the American Federation of Labor is going to prevail in labor circles in the west and north. It is probable that which ever wins domin- ation down the coast will have the upper hand n Alaska. Analyzing the situation on the coast for the New York Times, Richard L. Neuberger of Portland pic- tured the current conflict between the two labor divisions in these words: The battle lines have been formed for a bitter struggle, and already representatives of both the AF. of L. and the C.I.O. have come to the Northwest to champion their respective causes. Around five men revolves the conflict which may decide the course of the labor movement in the West. Two of these are ad- vocates of the AF. of L. and two are supporters of the CILO. The fifth is somewhat unde- cided. The marshal of the AF. of L. legions in the Northwest is Dave Beck, international vice president of the Brotherhood of Teamsters and sometimes called the “boss” of Seattle. He led the recent drives that ejected from the labor councils of Seattle and Portland long- shoremen’s unions which defied craft juris- dictional lines. The second AF, of L. leader is William Hutcheson, president of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. He Iis determined to block a march of the sawmill and timber workers into the C.I.O., which he has denounced as a “fad that will wear off.” The main C.IO. advocates in the region are Harry Bridges, president of the Pacific Coast & Remember Dad ON FATHER’S DAY Sunday, June 20 a g NE SELECTION OF x £ GRAYCO CRAVATS H.S.
