Lewis and his Committee —_— of Industrial Organization from the AFL. The Lewis forces have previously (New Work Times) Three years ago Mr. Wickham Steed wrote an alarming article for The Nineteenth Century and After in which he presented seemingly official documents to prove that the Air Gas Attack Department of the German War Office had been conducting experiments in Paris and London since 1931 for the purpose of as- certaining how underground railway systems could best be infected with deadly germs in an attack. Now comes the Deutsche Wehr, a military publication edited by former German Army and Navy officers, with a thoroughgoing discussion of bacterial warfare. As if the bombs dropping on Chinese cities are not been suspended and the issuc before this year’s convention is whether to make the division permanent by formally expelling the Lewis group. Apparently unconcerned, Mr. Lewis is going ahead to hold a convention of his own CIO and not even bothering to go to the Denver sessions. Since being suspended, the CIO leader has been building an or- ganization of his own which now has a reported mem- bership of around 3,000,000 AFL claims a member-' HAPPY. * R BIRTHDAY| 20 Years Ago ||l * Horoscope The Empire extends congratula- The Empire P tions and best wishes today, thefr e 2 “The stars incline g:rt.hday anniversary, to the follows | 4. but do not compel” g: OCTOBER 11, 1917.

Both figures probably are somewhat exaggerated Eut whether each has a million or three million makes little difference. The thing that is worrying AFL is the fact that Lewis has built up an organization that is virtually as strong in numbers as the William Green American Federation of Labor. Outright expulsion of Leader Lewis and his CIO from the AFL then is something more than chastising one of its members for violations of its code. Formal expelling means a recognized direct split in the labor ranks whereby mere suspension doesn't go so far as to kick the Lewis forces out of AFL. The other day William Green, the AFL President for the last 13 years, commented “labor divided is not Iabor defeated.” General interpretation of that statement was that Mr. Green and his leaders werc going to consider twice before formally tossing Mr. Lewis out. In other words, by recognizing Mr. Lewis under suspension, the AFL would still have an in- direct hold on the large number of workmen who. have sided with the CIO, and eventually an agree- ment might be reached which would again bind labor into one unit and place AFL on the pinnacle, Thus it is obvious that there is some great political labor maneuvering down in Denver. There are those in the AFL ranks who would sever entirely with Lewis and his CIO. This group, no doubt, includes Leader Hutcheon of the carpenters’ union, who Lewis punched in the nose a couple of years ago at the AFL conven- tion in Atlantic City. But there are others, despite their hatred for the CIO leader, who see imminent| danger to labor itself by declaring a formal split.| There is reason to believe that the latter group is| fairly strong in the Denver -convention. | They probably ¥ recalling Mr. Roosevelt’s “a terrible enough, we are reminded of more terrors in store. The possibility of spreading a virulent contagious disease among an enemy'’s civilian population or troops was broached even during the World War. So grim was it that the League of Nations later saw fit to consider it Accordingly, its Study Commission on Chemical Warfare requested Professors Pfeiffer, Bor- det, Madsen and Cannon to report on wholesale con- tagion and infection. Of the commanding position of these four nien in the world of medicine there could be no question. It must have been with con- siderable satisfaction that the League published | reassuring decision that “our present knowledge | of hygiene and microbiology would limit the extension | of any epidemic * and that such epidemic would not have any decisive influence on the issue of hos-| tilities To be sure, this is not a forthright denial thal; bacteria may not be used in war. But the committee’s detailed examination of the available micro-organisms and the means of disseminating them left no doubt about the difficulty to be faced. If microbes are ever | used in combat they will have to be as finely disci-| plined as the German Army. Instead of flying hither | and thither in their present vagabond way, they must | goosestep straight for the enemy, shoulder to shoulder, | as it were, and iodge in his lungs, his food, his water supply, his milk. If, for example, the unruly microbes | we know were dropped in glass bombs they would pro- | bably be killed by the heat of explosion, if not by ultra- violet rays of the sun. Infection of a city’s water | reservoir or the pollution of a dairy by some spy would be futile. The bacteriologists on the municipal health staff would quickly note the rise in bacterial counts gnd send out the proper warnings. Nor are hnrdm1 of typhus-carrying rats and clouds of pestilential in- | sects any more effective. Unless they, too, were trained | by some competent drill sergeant to bite only the enemy, they would turn on their masters. To be hoist by one’s own petard can have its counterpart in being 2.
