PLAN CAMPAIGN AGAINST LEWIS AFL Executive Council “Declares War” Against CIO Cincinnati, 0., May 26—<U.R>Tho executive council ot the American Federation of Labor, supported by representatives of 102 craft unions who voted to "declare war,” began a series of conferences today to plan the campaign against John L. Lewis' committee for industrial organization. There were but three votes against the council's four-point program to raise a "war chest" and begin an intensive drive against the C. 1.0. which was presented to more than 200 delegates summoned to a special conference by A. F. of L. president William Green. “The time for peace has passed," Green declared. "The C. 1 O. has caught the Imagination of the American workers." replied Lewis, ia a statement issued in New York, “and the shrill lamentation of the discredited leaders ot the A. F. of L. only serves to display the weakness of that organization.” Green and other A. F. of L. leaders will put into operation the plan approved by the craft union representatives. It calls for an assessment of one cent per member per month, effective June 1, to maintain a "war chest"; expulsion of all C. 1. O. locals from state and city central labor bodies; mandatory affiliation of all A. F. of L. chartered locals with state and city central bodies; and
an intensive organization cam--1 paign under federation leadership ’ The vote came after Green had ! announced that the federation was 1 "on the battle line, and this conference is going to meet the chai lenge.” ' He said the federation had • “begged for peace," but that Lewis and the C. I. O. had “spurned our offers." Charles P. Howard, head of the i International Typographical Union | and secretary of the C. I. 0., was : the chief opponent of the counI oil's recommendations. He said I that in suspending 10 C. I O. i unions last year the council had usurped powers not granted to it ■by the federation's constitution. ! Howard said he would urge his union not to contribute to the I "war chest." 1 W. D Mahon, of Detroit, a fedi eration vice president, pleaded .for peaceful settlement of the dis- | pute. He said Lewis could "settle this thing in a minute if he would come and take Bill Green by the hand and talk over the situation." The federation apparently was ready to send its organizers into fields where Lewis claims his greatest strength — into the coal mines and the textile millsthroughout the country. It was 1 indicated that one of the first acts I would be to grant a charter to the I rival to Lewis' United Mine WorkI ers of America, the Independent Progressive Miners Association of Illinois. —o HONOR IS PAID (Cf >NTIN U K t > FKDjM , P _ A .‘ * *-.

They charged that foremen were not cooperating with workmen or attempting to build goodwill, "which is a Ford company motto." The union loaders announced that the workers were prepared to stay out on strike until the company grants recognition of the union. Dearborn, Mich., May 26—(U.P>Two offiicals of the United Auto Workers of America—Richard T. Frankensteen and Walter Reuther —were beaten today as they stood on a bridge leading out of the Ford Motor Car Company River Rouge plant. Frankensteen, organizational director of the union and a former college football star, and Reuther, president of the West Side local, were standing with newspaper reporters on the bridge awaiting distribution of hand bills when the attack started. First reports were that newspaper photographers attempted to take pictures of the union leaders and were warned not to by members of the Ford service department. An unidentified man swung on Frankensteen, provoking a free for all. Reports that Ford service men were involved were denied at the office of Harry Bennett, Ford service man. Frankensteen was knocked to the ground where he lay tor several minutes. Reuther bore unmistakable evidence of a beating. Moaning, the heavy set Frankensteen was taken to the west side local headquarters. Demand Union Detroit, May 26 — (U.R) The United Automobile Workers’ Union announced today it would distribute hand bills urging "union•ism not Fordism" to 50.000 Ford
workmen as they leave the River I Rouge plant this afternoon. Officials of the union said the distribution would mark the first I time in union history that hand 1 bills have been distributed at the gate of Ford's Dearborn factory, largest industrial plant in the world. They said prominent liberals headed by Roger Baldwin of New i York, head of the American Civil Liberties Union, had been invited to attend the distribution. The bills, emphasizing "Unionism not Fordism” and explaining that the "Wagner bill is behind you; now get behind yourselves,” were intended to answer the "Fordism" handed out last week by the manufacturer listing his opposition to unionism. The union's bills, distribution of which will begin at 2 p. in. when the first part of the day shift workers leave the vast Ford plant, exhorted the workers to: "Join now and win; "Higher wages and better working conditions. "Stop speed-up by union supervision. "6 hour day. 8 dollars minimum pay. “Job security through seniority rights. “End the Ford service system "Union recognition." The hand bills will be distribut ed at five gates leading to the Rouge plant. A person close to the Ford organization said there would be no attempt by the management to Interfere with the union's efforts. —° Beer Retailer’s Hearing Date Set A petition for the renewal of a beer retailer’s license by Robert J.

FRENCH PLANE IS SHOT DOWN Commercial Plane Is Shot Down By Spanish War Plane Bilbao, Spain, May 26 —(UP) —A woman passenger and the pilot were -Injured today when a French commercial ptuutenger airplane wan shot down by a Spanish war plane near Bilbao. The war iplane was reported to have been either of German or Italian manufacture and there was no clue to the nationality of Its pilot. Leopold Galli, pilot of the French plane, said the machine which downed him wae accompanied by several others. "There were biplanes with the upper wings larger than the lower,” he said. "They looked to me to be Fiats, with Fascist mark-'.nge.” (The Fiat Is an Italian concern, although it has a subsidiary in Germany and in other European countries). The French liner Is part of a fleet which operates daily between Bilbao and Southern France. Carrying four passengers, it was ‘brought down 12 miles from Bilbao between Algorta and Plencla, in northern Spain, about four mllee from the bay of Biscay. I found tlie destroyed machine lying on a hitlock outside the town of Sopelana. The plane was broken in half, the fuselage separated from the wings and two motors, which i were buried in the earth. Fragments of the pilot's bloodstained Beret were sticking to pieces of the shattered windshield. I saw seven marks of machine gun bullets on the left side of the plane, including three in the fuselage and two on the motors. Spanish guards of public order kept watch over the machine. Leopold Galli, the French pilot, was said to have been unconscious when he landed. He brought the plane down within the Spanish loyalist lines. One woman among the four passengers suffered from shock. She was given first aid by Isabel Marcaido at a nearby farmhouse, only 25 yards from where the French plane landed. A doctor who attenfle Galli said: "Galli sufier.d -ontusionp above the left eye. upper lip and right ear. The woman passenger suffered
