HEAD HE WON’T APPEAR BEFORE GROUP’S EXECU TIVE BOARD; WARNS OF WIDE GAP TO OPEN. WASHINGTON. July 7 (TP)— There’s a showdown due today between William Green and John L. Lewis. Green, the president of the American Federation of Labor, has called on Lewis to defend his committee on in dustrial organization before the A. F. of L. executive board today. Lewis, the fighting head of the Halted Mine Workers, has served notice that he won't appear. In effect, he has dared Green to do his worst—and warned him that the A. F. of L. is in danger of a wide-open split if Green takes too drastic a move. Warning Seems Real Lewis’ warning appears based on fact. Lined up behind him in a na tion-wide drive to organize the Amer ican worker in industrial unions are twelve of the most powerful unions in the federation. These 12 unions constitute almost a half of the entire federation membership and they axe pledged to follow Lewis along any path he might take. Green can do one of two things when Lewis fails to put in an ap pearance to answer charges that he is setting up a competition labor organ ization. He can call for a vote on the proposal to suspend the charters of all 12 insurgent organizations or he can back down and concede Lewis the victory in the dispute. On one hand, Green risks splitting the federation of labor ranks. On the other, he faces a loss of prestige which- would boost Lewis into the position of the number one man of American labor. Green has promised a statement today.’ ■JusfwhltfH'TdrE of the high way he will take is still doubtful, but the A. F. of L. leader is confronted I with a rocky road, either way he i turns. Lewis, confident that his industrial unionization drive is headed for suc cess, continues to pound at heads of the steel industry with the Insistence that the time has come for a closed shop in the nation’s giant steel shops. His latest attack on what he termed “the omnipresent overloads of industrial America” came in a radio address last night. Without mincing words, Lewis termed the impending unionization battle in the steel in dustry a “war between the workers and a financial dictatorship.” He ac cused the steel magnates of employ ing unlawful and ruthless tactics in smashing former attempts to unionize the country’s steel workers and warned the steel officials that his drive would be conducted in the open, with the public closely informed as to developments by the press and ra dio. Fight to Finish The shaggy-haired Lewis threatened to invoke all the labor laws of the new deal if necessary in beating down the barriers thrown up against his unionization drive. “We shall hold accountable every person who is really responsible for any bloodshed or strife,” Lewis said. “By that I mean the bankers, the directors and the high officials of the steel corporations.” At Pittsburgh, a steel industry law yer. Earl F. Reed, accused Pennsyl vania’s Lieutenant-Governor Kennedy of advocating disorder. Kennedy, in a speech delivered on Sunday, called on steel workers to fight for union ization • BROWN SHIPYARDS SWEPT BY A GIGANTIC BLAZE TAUNTON.
