THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY “APPEALTO FEAR" CHARGED TOG.0P. Politics Brought to Fore- front at Virginia Public Affairs Institute. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., July 16. ~Asserting the Republican party was seeing to ride into power on “an emo- tional appeal to fear,” John Dickin- | son, Assistant Attorney General, told the Institute of Public Affairs today that the Democrats base their case on the record of egonomic recovery. Dickinson presented the adminis- tration’s viewpoint at a round-table debate. “On one side there stands a rec- ord,” he said, “the record of the largest measure of concrete achieve- ment and the greatest success in bringing recovery from the deepest depression of modern times that any leadership in any country can point to. That record is the case for the Democratic party and Franklin D. Roosevelt. G. O. P. View Given. Herman Langworthy, chairman of the Platform Committee of the recent | Republican National Convention, said | last night the questions of “whether we are to continue our American sys- | tem of government” and “whether we are to have an economical and sound administration of Government finances” constituted the two great issues of the 1936 presidential campaign | Langworthy, a Kansas City attorney, | asked if the Nation was “to turn hea long into & change in our form of gov- ernment, following unknown paths, or paths which history has demon- strated can lead to no other result than | the destruction of real American lib- | erty.” | He spoke at the close of a day that | brought politics to the forefrént of | the institute discussions, which will be | brought to a climax tomorrow night | when Harold Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, and Hiram Bingham, former | Senator from Connecticut, speak from the same platform on “Representative Government Versus Dictatorship.” Thomas Will Speak. Alexander Vincent Dye, director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, intervened last night with | an address on “"Government and Busi~ ness.” As a prelude to the Ickes-Bingham addresses tomorrow night, Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for Presi- | dent. and Farl Browder, the Commu- | nist nominee, will speak. The taird party movement will be discussed Sat- | urday morning. F. W. Allport of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc.. told titute yesterday “In- | telligent in the social im- | portance of the motion picture is more in evidence today than ever jefore.” “This is as it should be.” Alwort | said, “if we are to accept the screen | 8s a prominent feature of Amecrican | life,” | themselves. | union was Boy in Sewer Six Hours Covered with mud and silt, 13-year-old Orville Stocker crawled from a Los Angeles sewer after being lost for sit hours.

O. is acting in “violation and opposition to the decision of the Atlantic City conven- tion and that its acts constitute re- bellion against the organization poli- cies of said convention.” Frey's bill of particulars also speci- fied that the listed charges are appli- cable to officers as well as to unions This precautionary qual- ification evidently is aimed at Charles P. Howard, president of the Interna- tional Typographical Union. Howard is secretary of the C. I. O, but his union as such is not affiliated with the Lewis group. Charges Substantially Same. Substantially, the charges are the same as were submitted by Frye in an appearance before the council early in the week. In their form of that !time, however, the point was made that they did not constitute definite and specific charges Submission of such charges and formal notification of each C. I. O suggested by President Green. the council action being in support of him. Green declined to reveal the council vote. With the council sitting in a ju- dicial function, its deliberations dur- ers searched the gas- s shown in a bathtub Copyright, A. P, Wirephoto.

A third would be suspension indefinitely, with expulsion action possible at the November con- vention of the federation. | While the council was making its decision yesterday, Lewis made two public appearances. First was at a luncheon at the National Press Club and second was at a joint press con- ference with Sidney Hillman and George Berry late in the afternoon The three are officials of labor's Non-Partisan League, now engaged in supporting Roosevelt for re-election.

In response to the only question asked after his talk, how he intended to secure recognition for the steel unions, Lewis explained that he be- lieved public sentiment would force the steel corporations to enforce the right of collective bargaining. Striking at the recent claims of the American Iron and Steel Institute that their workers were satisfied with | their present non-union or ‘company union status, Lewis recalled his ex- perience in organizing the coal miners in the Southern West Virginia coal | fields with the inauguration of the |N. R. A, “When the workers in those fields made their cloice and joined the United Mine Workers, they succeeded in putting into effct collective bar- gaining agreements with the coal operators that cut their hours from 11 to 15 a day down to 7 hours, while increasing their pay from $1.25 and $2.25 & day to $5.10 a day. “Does any one mean to tell me that any of those workers was sorry he joined the union?” Lewis asked. Outside of Washington, several de- velopments were reported on the labor front. At New Orleans, the Circuit Court of Appeals refused to rehear the Labor | Relations Board's complaint that the | Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. had | violated the labor disputes act in re- | fusing to reinstate discharged em- ployes of the Amalgamated Associa~ tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers at its Aliquippa, Pa. plant. John M. | cCarmody, a member of the labor board, said the case would be appealed [to the Supreme Court. The Circuit | Court held the act unconstitutional. At Chicago, Van A. Bittner, in charge of the organizing drive in that area, announced that a company union lof 3,000 employes at the Carnegie- Illinois Steel Corp. plant in South Chicago had voted to join the Amal- gamated. | At Portsmouth, Ohio, an official of the Wheeling Steel Corp. clouded the strike settlement of last week by saying that the company had not agreed to recognize the Amalgamated as rep- resentative of all its workers. At Ashland, Ky, a committee of workers in the American Rolling Mills notified C. I. O. organizers they did not wish to join the Amalgamated. LIVERPOOL | X BEACH Go by S. S.

Labor (Continued From First Page.) said conferred with John L. Lewis, chairman of the C. I. O, and George M. Harrison, member of the federa- tion council, Tuesday evening. Father Francis J. Haas, former member of the ‘Wagner Labor Board and always close to the Roosevelt administration, also is reported to have entered into the negotiations. “The council was advised,” Green said yesterday, “of some conferences held last night between representatives of the C. I. O. and others representing A.F. of L. affiliates. These conferences strengthened hopes of the Executive Council that ultimately perhaps a basis of accommodation might be found. “Between now and August3 efforts will be put forth, if there is opportu- nity, by representatives of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor to negotiate a settlement. We are willing to meet and confer and if possible reach an agreement. That is our attitude. “We hope to prevent further divi- sion in the Federation and preserve solidarity in the labor movement.” OPEN ALL D. Lewis Declines Comment. Informed of the developments, Lewis would make no comment last night. First of the Frey charges is to the effect that the C. I O. “is a dual or- | ganization functioning within the ! A. F. of L. as such and in its admin- istrative activities it is clearly compet- | ing as a gval organization within the A.F.of L | “The final authority in the A. F. of L. on questions of jurisdiction is the Ex- ecutive Council. The C. I. O. has set itself up as an authority and is now | engaged in an effort to determine ques- tions of jurisdiction and make decis- jon in direct conflict with those of the Executive Council.” Second is that organizations which formed and now belong to the C. I. O. “are engaged in fostering, maintaining | and supporting this dual movement and fomenting insurrection within the | that the organizations named “have violated the contract| Into which each of them entered when | now vou cAn GO B0 10 A travel bargain— eny day.
