THE LABOR SITUATION €. I. 0. showdown on communism expected at first parley. NLRB certififies writers union for 13 major studios. LABOR Nonpartisan: League attacks Iowa Governor. LA FOLLETTE Committee hears criticism of Davey.

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Bpecial Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—The communism issue appears to be headed for a showdown at the first national convention of the C. 1. O. The convention will be held in late October, in Washington, Pittsburgh or Atlantic

City.

The California C. I. O. split and the United Auto Workers’ troubles, Poth involving charges of left-wing activities, are described around John L. Lewis’ headquarters here as “just growing pains.” Yet some sort of definite peiiod at the national convention seems in-

escapable. Practically all of C. O.’s enemies—from the A. F. of Ee leadership to Tom Girdler’s Republic Steel Corp.—have made repeated charges of Communist domination of 0.1.0. Some of C. I. Os friends have complained of the Communist “party line” activities of certain of the key men in a few of C. I. O.’s new unions. Although this pressure from the outside might be ignored, it is difficult to see how C. I. O. national leadership can avoid recognizing these latest internal rifts which threaten disruption of the movement.

2 Lewis Keeps Silence

The convention will adopt a permanent constitution for the C. I. O. Already suggestions have been made that the constitution include a provision similar to that in the charter of the Amalgamated Clothing Workesr Union—forbidding Communists to hold elevtice offices. If the fight gets bitter, an effort may be made to go as far as Mr. Lewis’ United Mine Workers’ constitution — and forbid C. I. O. membership to Communists.

Some C. I. O. officials here describe the California split—in which the Automobile, Shoe, Rubber and Garment Workers Union deserted the leadership of Harry Bridges—as Just a struggle for union power in Los Angeles, a city where C. I. O. unions have made large membership gains, Mr. Bridges is Pacific Coast C. I. O. director—named by Mr. Lewis— in addition to being president of the Longshoremen’s Union. Mr. Lewis

has declined to comment on the

split.

The Auto Workers’ Union troubles are more complicated. The union’s executive board, led by President

Homer Martin, expelled four ‘nigh officers for alleged communistic activities within the union. The leftwing group, charging that Mr, Martin's: policies are dictated by Jay Lovestone—former American Communist Party leader and now an anti-Stalinist-—is seeking referendum action to overturn Mr. Martin. They also have asked Mr, Lewis to intervene, but believing international unions should be autonomous and independent, Mr. Lewis has not done so. A third internal situation, serious to the C. I. O. but not involving the Communist issue, is gPresented by David Dubinsky’s ®International Ladies Garment Workers Union. This union is split between A. F. of L. and C. I. O, sympathizers, and Mr. Dubinsky, one of the C. I. O. founders, has been sitting on the fence since the A. F. of L. chastised the other C. I. O. leaders. The latest information, however, indicates that the C. I. O. convention—following immediately upon the A. F. of L. annual conclave— will force Mr. Dubinsky to choose, and that he will choose A. F. of L.

Labor Loagite Raps Use of Guardsmen WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (U.P.)— Labor's Nonpartisan League announced today that it would oppose re-election of Democratic Governor Kraschel of Towa. It said that his

use of the National Guard to “force” settlement of the Maytag company strike at Newton “should be a warning to the American people.” The League, political arm of the C. 1. O., asserted that “the problem of the uses to which the National Guard is put is one of the gravest moment to labor and believers in democratic principles anywhere,” adding that “it is a problem with which Congress will have to deal.” “Of course, Governor Kraschel has forfeited the backing of labor throughout his state and of all true supporters of democratic rights,” Executive Vice President E. L. Oliver said in a formal statement.

La Follette Committee Studies Guard Activity

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (U.P.).— The Senate Civil Liberties Committee summoned additional officers of the Ohio National Guard today to testify concerning that organization’s activities in last year’s little steel strike.
