A-2 FACTION OF LEWIS 10 DISCUSS STEEL Other Questions to Be Sec- ondary at Day’s Session, Leader Asserts. Labor has long been disturbed ®y two conflicting aims, that of Federation ~ President William Green, who favors the craft union system, and John L. Lewis, presi- dent of the Mine Workers, who has been making a drive for the indus- trial unions. In the Green plan men of the same trade, regardless of where employed, would be in one union, as at present. Lewis would have all men of one in- dustry, regardless of trade, in one union. These conflicting views, which threatened a serious breach, may be set aside now for a joint fight against steel leaders. BY the Associatea Press. Representatives of those unions af- filiated with John L. Lewis in his in- dustrial union campaign assembled to- day to talk steel. John Brophy. director of the Com- mittee for Industrial Organization, told reporters any other questions before the committee would be secondary to the steel issue at this afternoon’s meet- ing. The committee has undertaken to organize the huge steel industry with- out the help of the American Federa- tion of Labor. First efforts drew a statement of the American Iron & Steel Institute that the industry would remain an “open shop.” Brophy said the committee would teceive a report from Phillip Murray, vice president of the United Mine Workers and chairman of the steel Organization Committee, and would make plans for continuation of the drive. launched by Lewis, U. M. W. president. The committee also would consider an order from the A.

In the course of the ride he and the driver discovered an Ohio nativity in com- mon. They had quite a nice chat about 1t, and parted something more than hacker and fare. Just how much more, the fare did not realize until a letter came to the Chevy Chase address for him.

Burney was non-committal when questioned regarding a story in the Star-News containing the confession of a self-styled member of the hooded gang who furnished the names of other members. The newspaper withheld the name of its informant because he feared reprisal, but said he named a preach- er, a merchant and three women as leaders of the group, which shaved the heads of “undesirables” and flog- ! ged them with straps made of mill belting.

For this reason Amer- ican Bishops felt themselves called on to intervene and organize the faithful under their charge into a League of Decency which had as its cbject a public promise renewed every year to abstain from attending exhi- | bition of immoral films. “This eampaign succeeded in rais- ing the moral level of films and in the process had in no wise inflicted damage on the industry because many Catholics who had abstained from the cinema resumed patronage when ase sured of its moral improvements.” | The Pontiff said the problem of movies would be solved if production | of only good films could be assured.| However, since it is difficult to or- ganize such an industry. he added, additional influence must be brought to bear on the whole production to obviate all risks and harm. | “It is necessary for pastors to be ever on guard lest their charges should be exposed to corruption during the hours devoted to recreation,” the holy father asserted The encyclical. entitled “Vigilent Care.” was believed to have been in- spired by Dennis Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia. founder of the League | of decency, who spent a month in Rome and left for the United States a week ago after seeing the Pope on’ several occasions. !
