L.1.0.MAY SEEK ENATE UNITSAID ebates Asking Investiga- tion—Attempts at Intimi- dation Charged. ¢ . ] BY JOHN C. HENRY. ! An appeal to the special Senate fcommittee named to investigate in- ¥stances of “unda€’ interference with r:;‘e right of labor to organize and '}hrgxln collectively” is being con- ; 5 idered by the Committee on Indus- trial Organization, it was learned flast night, in connection with alleged tattempts at coercion and intimida- “tion in several Pennsylvania steel “towns and in Camden, N. J. % The committee as it was appointed just before the close of the last ses- ysion of Congress consisted of Senator “La Follette, Progressive, of Wiscon- isin, Senator Thomas, Democrat, of %Utah and the late Senator Murphy, #Democrat, of Towa. No new appoint- Sment has been made since Senator Murphy’s death, a few days ago. By a Senate resolution, the com- ‘mittee was directed to hold hearings fat any place desired, for the purpose “of probing “violations of the rights Yof free speech and assembly and un- *due interference with the right of Jabor to organize and bargain collec~ ively.” A report to the Senate is “called for, together with recommenda- Jtion for whatever legislation seems <advisable. Fifteen thousand dollars “was appropriated for the inquiry. ~ La Folleite’s Return Awaited. % At Senator La Follette's office yes- “terday, it was said that he is ex- ~pected back in Washington on July 727. It specific charges of “interfer- sence” have been received by that time, it is then expected that the Srommittee will begin its investigation wimmediately. In any event, it was Adeclared, the inquiry will be pressed “with sufficient vigor to allow pres- sentation of a report and legislative arecommendations early in the next Jeession of Congress. . No formally prepared list of allega- £tions has been disclosed by the C.I. O., sbut from Pittsburgh where the steel sorganizing drive is centered have Scome complaints of discharges for “union activities at Aliquippa and of <attempts at coercion ap Sharon, Far- rell and Sharpsville, all steel towns zin the Pittsburgh area. 4 According to Philip Murray, chair- «man of the organizing drive, 14 men “with average employment records of 13 years each have been discharged ¥by a single company since July 1. “All were identified with union «activities. At the other three towns, repre- “tentatives of the company unions “were called to a meeting of business fand professional men of the com- <munities and arguments against the -organizing drive presented. In Mc- .Keesport, it was reported that em- «ployes had been urged to sign peti- jtions denouncing the drive. # It was reported also that several ~towns have enacted new ordinances ;aimed at preventing picketing. ‘The legality of these ordinances is to be attacked in the courts, it was an- “nounced, with the Federal Norris-La ?Guardia law and the Pennsylvania ?anti-injunction law to be cited on “behalf of rights to peaceful picketing. “ The Camden, N. J., situation centers “around a strike at the R. C. A.-Victor #plant. Street fights and arrests of Ppickets have been frequent there. #Although the United Radio and Elec- ~trical workers who are directing the #strike are not affiliated with the C. PI. O, support of the latter organiza- #tion has been extended. 4 Summons to “Trial.” » Meanwhile, the tension between the C. I. 0. and the Executive Council of ¥the American Federation of Labor was increased by the content of the latter's summons to the C. I O. #uniond for their “trial” on August 3. ¥ In the summons, signed by William #Green, president of the feceration, #and addressed to officials of the 12 #C. L. O. unions, it was set forth that | ¥the council has assumed the power #to suspend member unions through #application of a rule-making power # specifically granted by the federation » constitution. ¥ The notification then declares: $ “In the event the council finds sald sunion guilty, the council may take 4Jany of the following steps: (a) For- 2 give said breach with or without condi- stions to be fulfilled by said union; 2 (b) suspend said union from the ¥ Americgn Federation of Labor and » from enjoying the benefits from said smembership for a definite or for an * indefinite time; (c) penalize said Sunion for said breach in any other 3 way; or (d) if the actions of said union +have been so serious that all rela- “tions between it and the American i Federation of Labor should be severed, srevoke its charter, but only upon in- Jstructions from a convention of the + American Federation of Labor passed by a two-thirds vote ordering the re- % vocation of said charter.” As yet no official reply to the| Zsummons has been made by any of sthe C. I O. unions but a meeting of ¢ their officials is scheduled for Tuesday wafternoon. At that time it is ex- 2 pected their policy will be determined. 7 Grounds for compromise also will be | | fdiscussed with John L.

Three hun- dred khaki-clad Scouts snapped to attention. “This is an honor I have looked forward to for many years,” the Skipper said. “July 18 will go down in history as the day of the christen- ing of the 8. S. 8. Theodore, dedicated to the ideals of America’s “rough- riding President’.” Skipper Maze then discussed the idealism and purposes of Theodore Roosevelt in relation to the Boy Scout camp program. The colors were unfurled and the camp cannon fired as Maze broke his bottle across the rope-bound fence post marking the prow. The Sea Scout crew of 10 men was then given permission to go aboard, and their sailors’ life began in earnest.
