Puts Approval on New Constitution

Document Vests Vast Authority in Leadership, ~ Imposes Sharp Levies, Pledges Adherence to Contracts; Lewis Crushes Revolt in Parley.

THE GROTTO, PITTSBURGH,

Nov. 16 (U. P.).—The new “Congress

of Industrial Organizations” today unanimously approved a constitution * Vesting vast authority in its leadership, imposing sharp per capita levies and pledging strict adherence to terms of collective bargaining con-

tracts with employers. Passage came with amazing speed after C. I. O. Chieftain John L. Lewis had crushed an incipient left-wing revolt which leaders feared had as an objective the sponsorship the convention of so-called ~ “radical” political views.

+ The movement was led by Harry Bridges, West Coast maritime leader, whose immediate deportation as an alleged Communist was demanded by Commander Stephen Chadwick of the American Legion at its state convention in Indian‘apolis today. The Australian born Bridges refused to comment on Mr. Chadwick’s demand.

Defended by Lewis

The bill of rights was written at 11:42 a. m., exactly 87 minutes.after Mr. Lewis, tossing his massive head, had defended it as “simple and democratic” and shouted a warning that he would not permit it to be “destroyed by a man with a mere - idea.”

There was a brief flurry of opposition to the proposed 35 cents per month per capita tax on local industrial unions, but it faded when Director John Brophy declared that a reduction in the levy. would “cut down resources of the C. I. O. and impair service of the national organizations. “More income is needed — not less,” Mr, Brophy said. . Mr. Lewis took the floor when the sessions opened to explain the position of C. I. O. officers in connection with an impasse that arose late yesterday when maritime leaders, led by Bridges, Sought to amend the organization's constitution. He spoke for three minutes during which he alternately appeared in the role of a professor lecturing students on the niceties of parliamentary law and as the stern ruler of a militant labor movement.

Explains Procedure

“It is not right and we do not intend to let a man merely with an idea come here and destroy the work of this committee,” Mr. Lewis snapped. “It will profit no man to rail against the convention rules.” Explaining that under parliamentary procedure sections of the constituton cannot be amended, tabled and recommitted until after the convention has had an opportunity to express itself, Mr. Lewis tossed his massive head and barked: “I hope there will .be no further misunderstanding on this subject.” With that, he turned his back and walked slowly back to his seat. There was a moment of hushed silence, a clattering of applause and then Sid- - ney Hillman, vice chairman of the ordered continuation jof the reading of the constitution. | Absence of Protests The absence of protests from the . floor, a possibility which developed - out of informal conversations among maritime leaders last night, was regarded by C. I. O. officials as a surrender of left-wing forces to the administration coterie headed by Mr. Lewis, Mr. Hillman and Philip Murray, head of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee. The motive behind attempts by the maritime leaders to recominit section two of the constitution, which embraces the objectives of the new congress still was ‘unclear today. Convention leaders, however, privately said that the maneuver was designed to place the organization on record in sympathy with “extreme political thought.”

RABBIT FEVER WARNING GIVEN

Mild Fall Raises Danger of Infection, Harvey Advises Hunters.

Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health Director, today warned rakbit hunters to take precautions fo avoid the possibility of catching tularemia, or rabbit fever. Dr. _Harvey ' advised hunters to pass{ Ap “lazy” rabbits, or those hiding in their nests, and suggested that gloves be worn in handling all rabbits. He said he has been informed that one death from tularemia has occurred in the state already, although no official report of it has been received at State Health Boaid offices. The lateness of cold weather this fall has increased the possibility of contracting the disease, he said. Cold weather usually kills infected rabbits and halts spread of the disease, he explained.

December Most Dangerous

State. Health Board statistics from 1932 to 1937 show that the largest number of infections occur in December. Last year, 28 infections were reported in Indiana in December. January is the second worst month and November is third. Dr. Harvey said the infection is caused by the germ of pasteurella tularensis, an organism found in North America, England, - Norway, Sweden, Japan and Russia. Animals most frequently affected are wild rabbits, meadow mice, quail, sheep, sage hens, grouse, ground squirrels, muskrat, opossums and fox squirrels. Transmitted by Fleas

“This infection is believed to be transmitted from animal to animal by fleas, lice and ticks,” Dr. Harvey said. “It may be transmitted from an infected animal to man by the bite of a horse fly, deer fiy or wood tick. “However, in nearly every case, the patient gives the history of having handled or dressed a wild animal, usually a rabbit, before the illness appears. “In these cases, the germs enter the body through a break in the skin, and first symptoms of the disease usually appear in from one to 10 days.” Dr. Harvey said some patients are il for a year following the infection, but usually recover within two months. The disease is fatal in only 2 per cent of the cases, he said.

| ‘Wear Gloves’

Difficult to diagnose, tularemia

sometimes is classed erroneously as|:

influenza, septic infection, typhoid or undulant fever. Laboratory analysis of blood specimens aids the physician in making the proper diagnosis, he said. “The disease may be recognized in an animal that is being prepared for.the market or the table by inspecting the liver or the spleen,” he said. “If it has tularemia, these organs are dotted by white or yellowish spots, “Gloves should be worn when dressing rabbits. It is said there is no danger in eating the meat of infected animals if it has been cooked thoroughly. However, if insufficiently cooked meat is eaten, serious illness S illness may develop. develop.” ?

SHIP BLAST BLAMED ON OUTSIDE BOMB

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. 2.). —Secretary of Commerce Roper said today that a bomb placed outside the hull of the German freighter Vancouver by some unknown person apparently caused the: Nov. 3 blast which damaged the ship. He ordered the investigating board of the Buréau of Marine Inspecion and Navigagtion to suspend its inquiry at San Francisco because evidence indicated the case required inquiry by the Justice Department.

JURY TO PROBE COACH'S DEATH

Score of Witnesses Called to Testify in Lagro Shooting Case. WABASH, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—More than a score of witnesses is ex-

pected to file into the grand jury room of the Wabash Court House

today in connection with the shoot- :

ing of Paul Bartholomew, 44, principal and basketball coach of the

Lagro Township School. One of the chief witnesses at the special grand jury inquiry today will be Mrs. Rilla Harrel, Lagro housewife. Mrs. Harrel is expected to tell the jury that the principal killed himself. However, authorities indicated today that, under questioning of Detective Fred Morley of the Indiana State Police, she had changed details of her story several times since her arrest on an open charge last Saturday, following the shooting. Another “probable witness will be Dr. Fren M. Whisler who attended Mr. Bartholomew. Rumors of a possible deathbed statement are rife here. Prosecutor Eugene M. Wessner said that such a statemént, if made, would be classed as “privilege” and the doctor need not reveal it. All will be questioned to learn a motive for the killing—if Mr. Bar-

WAY OPEN FOR JACKSON BOOST

1940 Presidential Politics Figures in Shakeup of Cabinet, Stokes Says.

By THOMAS L. STOKES ' Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Presidential politics of 1940 figures in the

S. Cummings out of the Attorney General’s post and opens the way for promotion of Robert H. Jackson, now Solicitor General. Mr. Jackson is—and has been for months—the President’s No. 1 choice as his successor in the White House. Though no announcement was made about filling the Attorney General's office, it is known that the Solicitor General will get the job when Mr. Cummings steps out the first of the year. In that office, in direct charge of the war on monopoly which will be a leading New Deal objective in the next two years, the White House hopes this 47-year-old lawyer of stanch New ‘Deal persuasion will be able to build himself up nationally.

Born in Pennsylvania

He is from a key state, his home being at Jamestown in western New York. e was born in Pennsylvania. He entered the New Deal as counsel of the Internal Revenue Bureau, conducted the tax case against the late Andrew W. Mellon, and was made an assistant Attorney General, then Solicitor General, in which post he has been in charge of presenting Government cases to the Supreme Court. Practical politicians are doubtful of Mr. Jackson’s possibilities as a 1940 candidate, New Dealers failed in their first attempt to sfart him on the road to 1940, the’ abortive effort to get him nominated as Democratic candidate for Governor of New York. Postmaster General Farley went chilly .on him as a Gubernatorial candidate and the regulars-in New York turned thumbs down. With the increasing restiveness of conservative Democrats, which was intensified by the “purge” and the swing of the recent election, some politicans doubt whether Mr. Roosevelt will be able to name his successor at the 1940 convention. They say

‘|that he could nominate no stanch

New Dealer, except himself, and that if he does not seek a third term the convention is more likely to turn to
