VANNUYS RULES J. S. PATRONAGE, FOR 8 DISTRICTS

Senator to Inform Bays He Alone Will’ Name Postmasters.

. By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Senator Frederick VanNuys is going to Handle all postmaster selcctions in the eight Republican districts “alone,” he will inform Fred Bays, Democratic state chairman, at a patronage conference to be. held here today. The conference is expected to decide on recommendations for both the Federal ‘District Attorneyship and Collector of Internal Revenue at Indianapolis. But so far as future postmasterships are concerned, Senator VanNuys will do his own deciding, he declared. Mr. Bays said of the plan: “I heartily approve of filling all postmaster vacancies in the eight Republican districts with whoever is the best qualified and suitable to the community: as a whole. Of course, they must be Democrats.” This means throwing overboard the present plan of permitting the local Democratic organization to make the postmastership recommendations. This plan was worked out with the joint approval of both Senators VanNuys and Sherman Minton.

Plan Unsuitable

Both say that it was unsatisfactory. So with Senator Minton’s retirement, Senator VanNu;s has decided to handle such selections alone, He informed Frank M. McHale, Democratic national committeeman from Indiana, of this decision at a conference here last week. “Since TI will be charged with the sole responsibility of making postmaster appointments in the Republican Congressional districts, I want to exercise complete control,” Senator VanNuys asserted. Senator Minton, Mr. Bays and Mr. McHale all expect to take part in decisions regarding the district attorneyship and a successor—if any —to Will H. Smith as Colléctor of Internal Revenue however. The slate is said to he Glenn VanAuken, Indianapolis attorney, for Collector, and Clarence .onovan, Bedford, for District Attorney.

Expects Chairmanship

Senator VanNuys expects to become - an important figure in the 77th Congress which convenes Jan. 3. For he anticipates that the Steering Committee will name him chairman of Judiciary, one of the major committees of the Senate. Although he is ranked below Senator Pat McCarran (D. Nev.) on the committee listing, Senator VanNuys - points out that they both came to the Senate in 1933 and went on the Judiciary Committee to-

of “52,000,000 hungry people” and eliminating a “Qaste. political system” in southern states. . A band playing “Solidarity Forever” and “Lewis Is Our Leader— We ‘Shall - Not Be Moved” entered the convention hall as Mr. Lewis was introduced, = and .delegates formed behind the band carrying Lewis placards.

Tears came into his eyes as the! demonstration continued for 43 minutes.

Meanwhile, it was.evident that if there is to be unity in the C. I. O. it will be on Sidney Hildman’s, not Mr. Lewis’, tergns.

Left Wing Backs Lewis

The belief is strong among the inner circles that Mr. Lewis arrived here last week prepared to be drafted.

If he did not inspire it, he certainly did nothing to discourage the “draft Lewis” movement which has assumed the aspects of a crusade by the left-wing unions most directly under his domination. It took Mr. Lewis just about two days to realize the draft would flop. Among the other unions, the backbone of the C. I. O. in numerical strength, such as the textile, clothing, rubber, steel, automobile workers, there was either determined hostility or a vacuum of unenthusiasm. Not even his own miners urged him to stay on in the C. I, O. post. After the accidental meeting on the boardwalk Friday of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hillman, C. I. O. vice president and labor member of the National Defense Advisory Commission, and, their three-hour talk in the Hillman hotel room, it was widely reported the. two opponents had come to terms for a program of harmony. | This turned out to be wholly incorrect.

Lewis Controls Machinery

There were no discussions of any points of difference. And Mr. Hillman’s own union, the Almagamated Clothing Workers, is standing adamant on its three demands (aside from its insistence that Mr. Lewis resign). These demands, on which the convention battles will center, are: 1. That a genuine move be made for peace with the American Fedthe of Labor. 2. That the office of president be democratized. The C. I. O. constitution now grants its president powers far in excess of any ever enjoyed by the A. F. of L. president. 3. That Communists be . excluded from office and the payroll. Mr. Lewis controls the convention machinery, so it will be possible to scramble these proposals or offer up substitute resolutions. Just what the convention itself will do with these issues in the next few days is not yet certain.

All Agree on Murray

+ All factions see eye to eye on Mr. Lewis’ choice of a successor, Philip Murray, vice president of the C. I. O,, and chairman of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee. In Bb annual report, Mr. Lewis assailed the economic, taxation, national defense and labor policies of the Roosevelt Administration and contended that the United States had been placed on a “war economy” with consequent threats of involvement in foreign war or economic collapse. Advocating a “more lasting solution on unemployment, insecurity and other economic ills that beset us,” Mr, Lewis proposed: A progressive raising of “real” wages and purchasing power; absorption into industry of all unemployed by reducing working hours and expanding production; legislation “to insure security and opportunity for young and old people, the unemployed and all the needy who are not otherwise provided for.”

U. will not be alone in his fight. Last week, in his report to the annual meeting of the Federation's Metal Trades Department, President John P. Frey raised his voice against what Westbrook Pegler has termed the “criminal scum” of the labor movement. Mr. Frey said it was up to the A. F. of L. to put its own house in order. Whether he will align himself with Mr. Dubinsky in a floor fight for a criminal purge remains to be seen. But garment workers representatives said Mr. Dubinsky was prepared to battle for the reform. The executive council report was made to the opening sess:»n of the convention today.

Report Hits Three Groups

It struck home at three of the council members whose unions, have been most frequently associated with charges of racketeering and exploitation of the working man. These are Twelfth Vice-President George E. Browne, head of the Stagehands Union; Seventh VicePresident Daniel J, Tobin, head of the Teamsters, and ‘thirteenth Vice President Edward Flore, head of the Restaurant Workers and Bartenders. Two of George Browne's satellites in St. Louis received heavy fines and Federal penitentiary sentences recently for preying on movie houses. One of his “personal representatives” is Willie Bioff, exposed by Westbrook legler as a one-time panderer. Another is Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean, a Chicago hoodlum and night-club operator with a long criminal record.

Mr. Flore’s contribution to the crime symposium is Louis Romano, czar of the Chicago bartenders and restaurant worekrs, who has been described in sworn testimony as front man for what is left of the Capone mob. Some of Mr. Tobin's unions in New York have felt the sting of both Federal and state prosecutions in the last year. Thus it was a delicate problem for the executive council to tackle, and the council approached it with a reminder of the A. F. of L.'s “high and lofty purpose” in preserving “our form of government and our American institutions” and in majntaining “our unions upon a high moral, ethical and law-abiding basis.” ‘ Cautioning members to “exercise all care and diligence in preventing exploiters and gangsters” from securing office, the council made clear it had no present intention of enroaching upon the autonomy of the 105 national and international unions which comprise the A, F. of L. There were signs everywhere that the convention’s acts would be influenced by the decisions made at the convention of the C. I. O. in Atlantic City, but even the most optimistic A. F. of L. leaders saw little possibility of peace in labor’s war.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.). —The Supreme Court today ruled that Federal Court in Illinois had no power to invoke Federal antitrust statutes as grounds for an anti-picketing injunction against the American Federation of Labor's Chicago Milk Wagon Drivers’ Union. The case was one of two labor controversies in which the court acted today. In the other the tribunal declined to disturb a National

the Elkland Leather Co., Elkland, Pa., holding that a circular to the employees stating the firm’s labor policy constituted an interference with the workers’ organizing rights. The anti-picketing injunction decision was in the dispute between
