5 TOBIN: FACING

PROBLEMS ON RETURN HERE

Must Chart His Teamsters Union Course in C. I. 0. And A. F. L. Dispute.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Stall Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 11—When “resident Daniel J. Tobin returns to ndianapolis headquarters of his Inernational Teamsters’ Union next month he may be confronted with ome drastic decisions regarding the

A. F.'of L.-C. I. O. conflict, it was

sointed out here today. Mr. Tobin now is attending an international labor meeting at Geneva. Since his departure, C. I. O. headquarters here announced that its organizers are to invade the building trades field, which hitherto has been a monopoly of the A. F. of L. crafts unions, The principal leader in that field is President William Hutcheson of the Carpenters’ Union, whose headquarters also is in Indianapolis. A former ally of C. I. O. President John L. Lewis, when he had his United Mine Workers’ headquarters in Indianapolis, Mr. Hutcheson now is Mr. Lewis’ most ardent foe.

Tobin Friendly With Lewis

Mr. Tobin, although an executive officer of the A. F. of L., still has remained on friendly terms with Mr. Lewis, however. ‘Commenting on the C. I. O. entry into the construction field, C. 1. O. spokesmen today indicated their intention of ‘preserving friendly relationships with trie Teamsters’ Union 80 as to eliminate sympathetic strikes over jurisdiction in the building trades. Largest of the remaining A. F. of L. units, the Teamsters’ Union dominates the conveyance of goods to and from factories, workshops and transportation and production centers and thus occupies a strategic position in any move by one of the

- labor rivals to invade the field of

the other. Because Mr. Tobin has piloted a middle-of-the-road course in the A. F. of L-C. 1. O. dispute thus far, C. 1. O. leaders are counting now on the Teamsters’ Union not obstructing the drive to organize building workers. They are not apprehensive, they say, over the use of the boycott: weapon which A. F. of L. unions have employed in scattered instances on other fronts.

- Teamsters’ Attitude Awaited

It was pointed out that the teamsters are organized along industrial union lines and C. I. O., as such, has never attempted to enter their field. The attitude of the Teamsters’ Union cannot be known definitely until Mr. Tobin returns, however.

Plaster General When Cold Blasts Whip Pedestal.

By JOE COLLIER

Come winter, Bartolommeo Colleoni is likely to be in one of the

or ‘

worst crises he ever has faced, bar “3

none. Bartolommeo faced a good many crises during’ his life, a long time ago, when he was a-general or

something important in some army

somewhere.

Then an artist made him into a statue and another artist copied the statue and an Indianapolis women's club bought the copy and gave it to the John Herron Art Museum. That’s where Wilbur Peat, director, came in. He found out soon that Bartolommeo and his horse are not suitable for billeting inside the museum.

Moved to Fairgrounds

So horse and rider were moved to a building at the State Fairgrounds. The State Fair people thought Bartolommeo was nice and his horse nicer, but they needed the room for live horses and riders and the museum got him back. He was put on a foundation outside the museum. Mr. Peat and a score of conferes painted him ‘with all manner of raint designed to weather-proof him, and entered jauntily into the winter. Bartolommeo reacted strangely to winter. The colder it got, the more he perspired. The more he perspired, the more he chipped. And the more he chipped, the more everyone realized something had to be done. He and his horse were wrapped in blankets and spent the winter sleeping in. Come spring, Mr. Peat had Bartolommeo unwrapped, and canopy rlaced over him. Then some WPA workmen set out to take off the coats or varnishes and paints that were supposed to have protected him. ; Workmen Scale Statue

Like pigmy grooms they . scales the giant horse and rider and peeled the .bronze-colored covering from the statue. That’s how things were when Mr. Peat went on his vacation three’ weeks ago. He’s not back yet, and during his absence Washington® has ordered the WPA workers to dismount. The work has stopped and Bartolommeo resembles. a painted general on a painted horse. Not only is the scaling work not done, but Mr. Peat, before he left,

+ |admitted he hasn't the faintest no-

tion of how to protect horse and rider against the winter rigors. That's something he’s going to take up as soon as he gets back. He admitted he will welcome all suggestions as he has a place in his heart for Bartolommeo as soft as

Bartolommeo is.

Police Meet ‘Girl’—It’s Boy

14-year-old chunky boy, who was arrested on a freight train by deputy sheriffs yesterday because they believed he resem-

bled a girl wanted for murder in the East, was in the Juvenile Detention Home today. His widcwed mother in Philadelphia is trying to raise money to come here after her son. Deputy sheri and railroad detectives who had a tip that a Philadelphia girl murderer dressed in men’s clothing was riding a. freight train stopped the train near Rawls Ave. and arrested six men including the youth. He soon proved he wasn’t a girl. “Can one of you guys get me something to smoke,” was his first question after deputies lost interest ‘in the “murder suspect.”

- [NO CHISELING, | MURPHY WARNS - "ON HATCH LAW

“Important Thing Is i

Faith,’ ‘He Says on Politics. Curb.

ae By cmARLES : x JuceY

WAST —_. 11—A “rig chiseling” policy in the enforcement of the Hatch Act was enunciated today by Attorney General Murphy. In a statement on the new law bar-

jobholde€rs, he said:. “The important thing in connection with the Hatch Law is good faith. We must give it: the best possible start, erring, if we must, on the

intention of . Congress, and we should lean backward in the enforcement of it.” Mr. Murphy said he wanted the Justice Department itself “to be exemplary about it.” He has already ordered two U. S. District Attorneys, running for office in Pennsylvania, to resign or drop their candidacies.

Hopes for Wider Application

“Many of us,” the Attorney General said, hope for, a “wider application” of the Hatch Act “in new legislation.” He said he anticipated that a great number of questions would arise under the law at first, but he predicted that these “early difficult situations won’t last long.” He pointed out that many questions arising under the law previously have been ruled upon by the Civil Service Commission in construing Civil Service rules. The ban on political activity in the Hatch Act uses almost the same language as that of the Civil Service rules. “While the rulings of - the Civil

sarily controlling as to non-Civ Service employees,” Mr. M said, “they will be found instructive and helpful.” He said he knew of nothing in the new law that would bar Federal employees from attending the Young Democrats’ convention in Pittsburgh. But when asked whether this meant attendance as delegates, he replied he had not said attendance as delegates. This was taken to mean be believes such attendance is barred.. Civil Service rules deal specifically with this question. Concerning political clubs, these rules say: “Service as a delegate from such a club to a league of political clubs is service as an officer or representative of a political club and is prohibited, as is service as a delegate or representative of such a club to or

in any other organization.”
