C. 1. 0. RETURNS A. F.L. CRY OF DICTATORSHIP
Cites Building Trade Disputes, Lack of Conventions To Prove Point.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer
SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Aug. 4 (U. P.).—James O'Connell, fugitive desperado who ' escaped from “a
moving train by flinging himself
headlong through a window, was captured today by Santa Barbara police. He was captured only a block and a half from the place’ where he made his desperate leap last night. A posse of 120 officers ‘had sur-
rounded the northern portion of
the city ‘and they - systematically closed in in a narrowing circle.
{ They finally trapped their quarry in
the upper branches of a shade tree. He surrendered without resistance.

it was traveling up a grade at only about 20 miles an hour. O’Connell landed hard on his face on the pavement of a road paralleling the railroad track, rolled over a few times, and then jumped up and popped into the brush.
It was O’Connell’s third escape. The 33-year-old robber and burglar was being returned from Texas to Oakland to face trial for a splurge of holdups' and kidnapings he is charged with committing after he fled a San Quentin road camp in June. He had been sentenced for a series of Los Angeles crimes for which he was to serve virtually the
His escape was from the custody - of Inspector Marshall of the Oakland Police Department. | The train was stopped as soon as possible and Inspector Marshall telephoned an alarm to the Santa Barbara police and sheriff’s offices. O'Connell made the first of his daring breaks on the day he was

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—The familiar charge that the C. I. O. is a dictatorship, destructive and | untrustworthy—compared with the! safe, reliable and democratic. A. F. L—is being reversed. The C. I. O. has started to smear the A. F. L. with its own stick. The public is going to hear a great deal about how democratic and | peaceful the C. I. O. is, compared with the dictator-ridden, unscrupulous, warring A. F. L. On three fronts this strategy. is operating this week—in secret negotiations with employers, in public statements of policy, and in legislative investigations. In the negotiations for settlement -of the General Motors tool and die strike, with its Cleveland riots and Detroit demonstrations, the most serious barrier to agreement was the company charge that ithe C. I. O. cannot be trusted to keep contracts peaceably. :
Building Trades Union Launched
To meet this criticism the C. I. O. 4nformed ‘the company it will guar- ~ antee against sit- downs, slowdowns, . and various forms of sniping strikes and activities. At the same time it stressed the alleged lack of discipline and responsibility in the rival A. F. L.-Martin union. Only the C. I. O. can preserve peace and order—and therefore efficiency and profits | for the boss—President Knudsen of ‘General Motors was told by Vice President Philip Murray of C. I. O. On precisely the same appeal— that the C. I. O. can be trusted and the A. F. L. cannot—the C. I. O. is launching its new drive against the A. F. L. sironghold, the building industry.. For all their sirength in dominating the A. PF. L. executive council, in control of craft jobs in many communities, and political influence in municipal, state and national party machines, A. F. L. building trades officials suffer unpopularity because of high dues and initiation fees and disastrous jurisdictional strikes.
Dues t0 Be $1.50 a Month
Now comes a new C. I. O. construction union which tells the public and’ employers—as well as the workers ‘who cannot get into the A. F. L. unions—that it is going to be free of those very evils. “To stabilize the construction industry through the elimination of unauthorized strikes, jurisdictional | disputes and lockouts, and to pro-| vide for adjudication of disputes | arising between employers and em- E ployees in the industry;” is the ob- | 2 Ga : patterns!l ject of the new C. I. O. union ac- | ; : cording to its official announcement. | “Dues will be $1.50 per month for | all members in all classifications . . ho initiation fees.” Yesterday Lee Pressman, C. I. O. ‘ general counsel, carefully explained to the Senate committee holding Wagner Law hearings how undemocratic and unrepresentative -he considers the “A. F. L. leaders and even the A. FP. L. general conventions. After charging that President William Green and his hierarchy in their proposed Wagner Law amendments went beyond the mandate of the A. F. L. Houston convention, Mr. Pressman said: “But, more important, we challenge the assertion that the unanimous approval of the A. F. L. convention is any true reflection of the wishes of the rank and file of A. P-L. members.
. Held Few Conventions
“The fact of the matter is that the International Brotherhood of: Electrical Workers has not had 8 | convention since 1929. The woodcarvers union _has not had a con- | vention since 1930. The machinists | had one convention in 1928 and ~ another in 1936. The carpenters likewise had their convention in 1928 and another in 1936. Other unions such as the tobacco workers, cigar makers, the International Union of Elevator Conductors, and - the Window Glass Cutters League, " have indeterminate provisions for conventions or none at all. “It is difficult to suppose that the officials of these organizations . . . are sensitive to the wishes of their constituents, when they have not had to actount to them.” Telling off “the handful of officeholders of the A. F. L.,” the C. I. O. spokesman concluded: “In their hatred of the C. I o— which they conceive to threaten their security, their positions, and their -power—they have turned against the interests of their own; members.”
3 HURT IN BLAST AT BAKING GO. IMPROVE;
Three men’ injured yesterday when gasoline exploded in the Con- | tinental Baking Co., 339 E. Market .St., were reported improving today -in Methodist Hospital. They are Wallace Wright, 52, of 50 E. 15th St., Paul Zion, 46, of 12 Beliefontaine St., and Gebrge Lester, 34, of 801 Locke St. R. M. Ingle, company chief en-. gineer, denied that the men were i cleaning a boiler] with gasoline but said they were cleaning an oil spot . off the floor. One of them lighted a cigaret, he said, which caused a « “flash” from the gasoline can.
