HEARINGS SOUGHT ON DISTRICT VOTE . Green and “Labor Hier- archy” Also Denounced at C. L. W. Meeting. Open congressional hearings on the question of representation for Dis- | trict residents was proposed at the | Central Labor Union meetiig last night, at which President William Green of the American Federation of Labor and the “labor hierarchy” were openly defled on the issue of local autonomy in placing firms on the unfair list. Frank J. Coleman, secretary of the C. L. U. and delegate to the A. F. of L. Convention at Tampa, Fla, last month, announced he would confer with William Hushing, legislative representative of the federation, to seek support for open hearings on the District representation question at the coming session of Congress. Coleman declared he would lead the fight for the hearings, by which he hoped to demonstrate to Congress that District residents want represen- ation in Congress and to bring the issue before the entire nation. The vote for District residents has been approved by the C. L. U. and was in- dorsed at the recent Tampa canven- tion. Stormy Debate Provoked. The open defiance of Green and the action of the Tampa convension in enacting a law restricting the right of a central labor body to place a firm on the unfair list provoked a stormy debate and resulted in unani- mous passage of a resolution of pro- test. 5 After accepting the report of Cole- man on the convention and commend- ing him for his opposition to the new law, the delegates proceeded to a vigorous, untrammeled debate on a motion by Charles E. Sands, delegate from the Bartenders’ Union No. 75, to protest the adoption of the law, which, he declared would take all sutonomy away from local unions and central labor bodies and “tie up pro- gressive unionism.” ‘The law prohibits placing on the unfair list any firm which has a con- tract with any federation affiliated union whether local, national or in- | ternational, without the consent of such union. In the event consent is not secured, the matter must be referred to the A. F. of L. Executive Council for action. Law Is Termed “Rotten.” Enactment of the new law was de- scribed as “the rottenest thing ever done by an A. F. of L. convention” by Delegate Charles B. McClosky of Bakers' Local 118. He said: “I defy Bill Green to come down and try to keep my union from put- ting pickets around a plant that needs them and from trying to have that In School Play FRANK MILLER Will be seen in the leading role when Sidney Howard and Paul de Kruif’s “Yellow Jack” is presented Thursday night by members of the Mask and Bauble Club of Georgetown University at Gaston Hall. LAUD NEWSPAPERS FOR VOTE BATILE Georgetown Citizens Praise T. W. Noyes, Star Editor, for Efforts. The Georgetown Progressive Citi- zens' Association last night adopted resolutions commending local newspa- pers for their active and continuous fight for national representation for the District. Led once again by Etta L. Taggart, the Georgetown group sanctioned a letter offered by Miss Taggart express- ing its appreciation and commenda- tion to Theodore W. Noyes, editor of The Evening Star, for “his worthy and faithful work in continuing the fight for franchise for some 40-odd years.” Zurniture and peries remodeled. < olstered. repaired.

Mills, vice president of | the C. L. U, while supporting the | resolution, pointed out another new | law which empowers the Federation | Executive Council to suspend or ex- pel a member union, a power which | heretofore had been reserved for con- | ventions only. | Contracts With Local Unions. The resolution, which protested the | new law concerning placing of firms | on the unfair list, was directed only at the provision relating to contracts with local unions and not to firms having contracts with national or international unions, S8ands explained. Most contracts with firms in Wash- ington and other cities are with local unions and not with national or in- ternational organizations. —_— CLAYTON IS URGED FOR ROBERTS’ POST You don't expect to collect on your accident insurance policy, yet its a comforting thing to have.

And it was this very lack of hesitation that saved his life, for just as Raglan was about to send him to his doom, the ape man plunged into the pitch- black passage. Miss Taggart further declared: “With the excellent and Striving efforts of the local newspapers, half our battle is won and, as Congress is about to convene, we are nearing our goal.” The meeting was the tenth anniver- sary of the association, founded origi- nally as a women's group. As cele- bration of the anniversary, Miss Tag- | gart, first president of the association, | reviewed its progress under past presi- dents. Dr. George C.
