GREEN, IN SPEECH, ASKS FOR LOYALTY) Says Labor Must Follow Original Leaders or Bow to “Ambition.” @ BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 10.—William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, told a dinner audience composed chiefly of union labor leaders tonight that labor “must make a choice whether they will follow their original leadership or be led by those influenced by con- suming ambition.” Promising a settlement “by demo- eratic procedure and rule,” Green told 4his hearers “it depends ‘on your fidel- ity. There is no issue which tran- scends that issue. Shall it be a soli- tary movement or shall it be a great movement of democracy?” Green spoke at a dinner honoring Harry Van Arsdale, newly appointed president of the New York City Build- b ing Trades Council. Green’s arrival here from Washing- ton today was accompanied by no specific sign of an impending armistice w although he described a peace pro- Pposal by the United Hatters, Cap and Millinery Workers' Union as “more than a gesture.” ‘The union is one of those affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization headed by John Lewis, but it was not one of those suspended by the A. F. of L. Executive Council. Green said that “without making any commitment on the proposal, I know it will be examined carefully by the Executive Council.” Then he went to the testimonial dinner at which he said, “We will settle our difficulties by democratic procedure and rule. We will never «Bubmit td autocratic or dictatorial autonomy. “That is the issue which has arisen in the A. F. of L. This autonomy has been challenged. The men of labor must meet it in organized fashion.” GIRL FLYER SETS NEW - RECORD TO AUSTRALIA| By the Associated Press PORT DARWIN, Australia, October | 11.—Jean Batten, British aviatrix, set | & new solo flight record from England | oto Australia when she landed here | today at 1:13 am, G.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 10.— Authorization by the United Lutheran Church to lift bars against women on governing bodies—long a controversial issue—was forecast today by an Ohio | church leader. | Dr. Joseph Sittler, president of the Ohio Synod, predicted delegates to the church’s biennial convention opening ‘Wednesday would approve seating of | women as convention delegates and on official church boards. This move has been recommended, | he said, in a majority report of a | special commission headed by Dr. Henry Baggar, president of the Pitts- burgh Synod. The church has never permitted women on governing bodies. “Our church, among the most lib- eral of Lutheran bodies, has long con- sidered giving women members equal- ity with men in handling church afe fairs,” said Dr. Sittler. The minority report, Dr. Sittler said, will not differ sharply from recom- mendations of the majority group of the commission. Another commission, sald Dr. Sitt- ler, will report on a proposal to weld all Lutheran organizations of the world into a single Protestant church with a total confirmed membership of more than 3,200,000. Dr. Lewis Speaker, chairman of the Convention Committee, said the United Church was ready to “approve the merger if it was voted on tomor- row.” Our church is willing to surrender some of the things it has—to go more than half way—in promoting & union of Lutherans,” he said. “The stumb- ling block may be in some of the other groups. They may not be ready yet to join with us.” Five hundred and sixty official lay and ministerial delegates will partici- pate in the week-long convention end- ing October 21. 10 $27% MORE DAYS NATIONALLY-FAMOUS PittSburg AUTOMATIC GAS WATER HEATERS No Money Down—Gonvenient Paymenis Until Thursd; October 15, inclusive, you may buy a nationally-knewn, Autematic Gas Water Heater at a reduction of from $10 to $27.50, the reduction depending upon the size Pittsburg Heater you purchase.
