Apr. 14 U.P/ If I knew Benito Mussolini better (or at all I 1 would certainly warn him that General John J Phelan, chairman of the New York boxing commission. is about to visit Italy. 1 would explain to Mussolini that he might Just as well resign himself to being the No. 2 man in Italy while the general is there, because tne general is a natural head-of-the-table guy. He sits on no one's right nor no one’s left. The general is the II Duce of boxing. and in his way is the most iron-fisted and relentless of present day rulers. If you thing Mussolini is stern with his blackshirts or Hitler with his brown shirts, you should have a look at the general when he is handing out ord- , ers to boxers, managers, trainers, rubbers, and the like. His authority extends from the punches they ake on their njses right down to the last inch of tape that goes on their hands. He can outsnoop any six member of Ogpu, ’ and no flyweight is too insignifi'cant, no heavyweight too important. to have the general stick not ugly his nose, but his entire head intotheir business. And the general is not one of ’ those quiet, efficient, smooth dictators. He can make more noise than any six men who ever worse eagles on their shoulders. He can spot Mussolini balconies and still outshout him from the Tiber to the coliseum. Il Duce is a pretty fair hand at showmanship and making faces, but I have seen the i general, when worked up over a (lightweight's sore thumb, run the 1100 yard gamut of human emotidns ■ in record time. , In my mind's eye 1 have a pretty ' good picture of the general s arrival in the Bay of Naples. He will expert to see Vesuvius spouting i lava and if it doesn't, he will fine iit SSOO for stalling and laying i down. If the boat is late the general undoubtedly will walk right up to the bridge, take away the captain's license, and accuse him of having too much bandage on his hands. If things don't go right for him while he is in Italy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the general. Starting Fri. & Sat. for 15 Smash Weeks! (auk? Xcyi w fIWS NOTHING ON EARTH LIKE IT BEFORE!

"By and large, the future pros-1 perity of common carriers espec-' tally by railroad, lies in small profits on a large and increasing volume of traffic." the decision ’ said "We conclude that the fare of two and one-half cents per mile in coaches proposed for application in eastern territory has not been justified,” the commission said. The rejection of the plea for higher passenger rates in the eastern territory followed ICC approval of $270,000,000 in freight rate advances for the nation's carriers The freight rate advance approximated about five per cent, whereas the roads had requested a 15 per cent horizontal increase. o Report Lindbergh To Purchase Island Saint Malo, France, Apr. 14. — ttJ.FJ I —Col.

LABOR UNIONS ARE HR APART Hope For Peace In Labor’s Civil War Seems Far Remote Washington. April 14 (U.R) : Hope for peace in organized labor's civil war appeared even more re-' mote today following the commit-1 tee for industrial organization's, call sos its first constitutional ! convention. CIO chalrmaji John L Lewis stressed the words "permanent j organization" in announcing that leaders of the 39 CIO unions had voted unanimously to set up a per-, manent rival organization to the! American Federation of Labor. The 1 convention, he said, probably will, be held in September. The action appeared to be the ClO's last step in severing all con ; nections with the A. F. of L This , belief was strengthened by Lewis' refusal to discuss whether it would j make peace more difficult. Before ; the convention was authorized, the ( union heads heard executive direc- : tor John Brophy assail the fedots-j lion’s executive council for “re-1 peatedly" widening “the split in | organized labor.” The convention call may. how-1 ever, have repercussions within the CIO itself. David Dubinsky, international ladies garment workers' union president, has lieen reported ready to bolt if the CIO moves to-1 wards permanency as a "dual organization." This rumor persisted despite Dubinsky's telegram to the coufereuce that "we do not I contemplate withdrawing from the I CIO.” I At a press conference after the ! adjournment of the executive com- • mittee meeting Lewis was asked about the "dual unionism" which i l would result if the CIO became I | permanent. He grinned and answered: “I know nothing about dual j unionism l»ut 1 do know something j of dual personalities of which Mr. | Pearl Green is an outstanding example.” (This evidently was a reference to A. F of L. president William Green and his press agent. I Philip Pearl). Later he said he "knew of hiothI ing of less consequence." than the •A. F of L.

"After all.” he said. "CIO has come to mean something In this j alphabetical world." Alarmed by reports that congress, was planning adjournment by May | ' 14. the union heads adopted a reso ' hit ion declaring "that our 4.000,000) memliers will necessarily have to i i consider It a dereliction of duty : and betrayal of labo’r for congress I ! to agree to adjourn prior to enact ment of a complete legislative, recovery program " The ClO's “must" legislative ' list includes adequate work relief I appropriations, housing, minimum wage and hour regulations, and j passage of a hill to bar labor relaI Hons act violators from government contracts, loans or grants The CIO voted “complete support" of the 21 railway labor organI izations in their oitnosition to wage
