B—-20 #=» RUNAROUND LAD TOAF OFL GROUP Seating of Printers’ Union Head, a C. I. 0. Official, Brings Battle. By the Associated Press. DENVER, October 8.—Dr. W. R. ‘Trotter of the printers’ union accused the American Federation of Labor Convention’s Credentials Committee today of giving his union “the run- around” in delaying the seating of Charles P. Howard, C. I. O. secretary, as a delegate. As president of the International Typographical Union, an A. F. of L. affiliate, Howard presented credentials to the convention as a delegate. The carpenters’ union protested on the ground Howard had signed a C. I. O. charter for Pacific Coast lumber- men. The Credentials Committee an- nounced this morning it would give Howard and the carpenters a hearing next Monday—the day the C. I. O. meeting is slated to start in Atlantic City, N. J. ‘Trotter protested. “Why can’t this case be heard to- night?” he asked. “We're well aware that we're being given the run- around.” ‘William Green, A. F. of L. presi- dent, banged his gavel and told Trot- ter he was out of order. “You have no right to rise and ac- cuse the committee of giving you the run-around,” Green said. Howard's dual position went un- challenged in both camps until the carpenters protested his seating at the current convention. After the Howard incident, Green told the convention that reports he had sent a lieutenant to New York to influence labor votes in the mayoralty election were “false.” Federation moved to extend its sphere into the “white collar” workers fleld, bringing it into opposition with John L. Lewis’ C. I. O. on a new front. Green summoned leaders of A. F. of L. office workers unions attending the federation convention here to a con- ference tomrrow. He said they would form a national council and eventually an international union. Awaiting convention action next week are resolutions authorizing ex- pulsion from the federation of the 10 unions already suspended because of C. 1. O. affiliations. Their adoption sappeared as certain as approval of another condemning “militaristic fanatics now in control of Japan” and calling for a labor boycott on Japanese products. | Delegates cheered and stamped their feet, clapping loudly, when Green read a cablegram yesterday from Sir Walter Citrine, British Trades Union Congress secretary, pro- 1 posing that Britain and the United | States join in such a move. A resolution introduced by the build- | Ing and metal trades departments and scheduled for action next week charged the Roosevelt administration’s ‘wage-hour program, pending in Con- gress, “would have created a govern- mental agency influencing and, at if discretion replacing, collective bar | gaining ¢ * *» | The convention indorsed committee reports approving Federal anti-lynch- ing legislation and President Roose- velt'’s governmental reorganization plan. It voted disapproval of curtail- ment of Federal relief for “bona fide sufferers from unemployment” and of proposals to grant Statehood to Hawaii. Legislation to conscript labor in war time was unanimously opposed, as was & resolution proposing civil service em- ployes be allowed to participate in politics and hold public office.

NEW YORK, October 8—Into a teeming world popped today a homely little item about the quetzal, described by its partisans as a rival of the bird of paradise for beauty. It seems that Dr. Wolfgang von Hagen, scientist, winding up a quetzal- stalking expedition in Honduras, has advised the Bronx Zoo he is about to deliver 10 of the baby birds in the hope they will live in captivity. They never have before. Working under the auspices of the Museum of the American Indian, Dr. von Hagen collected the birds, fre- quently pictured on Guatemala stamps and currency, in the Hon- duran interior. On the trip north he will feed them alligator pears, corn meal cake and hard-boiled eggs. The tail plumes of the quetzal, which full-grown is about the size of a crow, are gold-green. Its breast is scarlet. The doctor will leave Belize for Miami via Pan-American Airways Oc- tober 15.
