Former Allies Now
Rivals in Labor’s
Drive in Southland
ATLANTA — (# — Two men
who know the gmell of printers ink
were cast today as the ]n‘invip:}ls;
in the struggle between the C. 1.0 f?
and A. F. of L. to organize south= |
ern textile workers. f
They are George L. Googe, south- |
ern representative of the American |
Federatioh of Labor, Who learn- !
ed the pressman's wrade, and A. |
Steve Nance, southern director ofi
the Textile Workers’ organization |
dommitted, Committde for Indus- |
trial Organization affiliate, i
Both are Georgians and bothi
have been ldentifiea with the labor |
movement for years. It was only |
recently that diffevences of opin-'
jon sent them in different direc
tions.
Nance, tall, hefty and ruddy
faced, was born in rural Bowman, |
Ga., in 1885, He went to work for
a commercial printing concern in
Atlanta as a youngster and later
worked for an Atlanta newspaper.
He holds a card in the mailerg lo
cal of the International Typogra
phical Union, |
For the last ten years he has de- |
voted the majority of his time to!
labor activities. For twenty years
he has been connected with the
Southern Ruralist publication. ‘
Soft voiced and suave, Nanage
can be firm and determined when
he wants to. President W}illiumi
Green of the American Federation
of Labor called on him this month‘
to resign as president of the Geor
gia Federation of Labor or glvef
up connections with the C.LO. '
Nance did neither. As a rnsult!
the state labor convention was!
split in two parts, each of which
claims ‘to be the Georgia Federa-'
tion of Labor. wvune section has
Nance -as its. presicent, . |
Googe was born m south Geor- |
gia. He wanted to be a nrinting{
preseman and his ambition finally |
took him to Savannah, Ga., where
it wag fulfilled. Like Nance, he
?s had connections with the A.
¥. of L. since his early life. ‘
. Googe is a little under averagel
SR L
fit He gives wie appearahce
‘of being quiet and retiring but hei
¢an rise to dynamic heights in his
speeches. ‘
- Cooge who was born in 1900, has
hair that is inclined to be curly.
His face is chubby and youthful.
He has been William Green’s per
sonal representative in the south
now for about a decade,
Googe -is just getting his® drive
underway. His first step, he says,
will be to confer with presidents
of scuthern federations of labor as
an advisory council. He said his
organizing drive weuld be ‘“con
‘ducted by southerners for south
. S r"."
% T.W.O.C, whose campaign
in the south Nance is leading,
favors the precepts of John L.
Lewis of the C.LO.—organization
of workers by industries. The A.
¥, of 1. movement favors organi
zation of workers by their craft.

ing which Dlean Smith studieds
5,013 flints largely from the In
dian mounds in Ocmuigee fields,
were done while he lay abed last i
year following a previous attack‘
of the ailment from which he is |
new suffering. ‘
At the earlier period he ‘was
forced to remain in bed for many
months. Often during those
months he would carry his studies
far into the night or awaken at 2
or 3 o'clock in the merning and
measure with calipers the patinal
along the edge of a flint which he
had sawed in two. ‘
The paper he recently presented |
before the Academy and later be
fore Macon groups told how he
had determined the age of flints
from the amount of patination.
He established the amount of
patination that aeccumulated each
300 years to be .085 centimeter.
On this basis he set the time that
Indians lived here as 12,000 years
ago.
His findings on flint upset opin
ions of leading scientists but were
admitted as correct by Smithson
jan Institution authorities whe
had contrary views previously.
The fact 'which his studies deter
mined is that flints deteriorate as
do other geological formations.
The amount of deterioration was
measured after cutting the flints
in two. . @ i
