chieftain declared that the stabilization agreement with the A. F. of L. : building trades unions “in no sense established an A. F. of L. monopoly” in defense construction. Mr. Hillman tol dthe Committee that he feared entrance of Mr. Lewis’ union into the building field would precipitate “labor troubles in the vital Detroit defense production industry.” Mr. Lewis, a brother of former C. I. O. President John L. Lewis, told the Committee that Mr. Hillman’s stabilization agreement with the A. F. of L. granted an “effective monopoly for the A. F. of L. on all defense construction.” “I challenge Mr. Hillman to deny that this agreement is not a virtual monopoly for the A. F. of L. on all «defense construction,” Lewis charged. . “It is nothing more nor less than an unlawful conspiracy on behalf of one branch of dabor against another. It is the rankest sort of discrimination against anyone who refuses to pay tribute to the building trades unions of the A. F. of L.” Experienced Washingtonians can see better than Mr. Currier what an issue he has raised for they can spot in the audience representatives of a number of Government agencies—two lookouts for Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold, who is threatening an
INLOW BID ROW
Probers That He Feared to
Accept Detroit Builder’s Offer Because A. F. of L. Might Resent It.
By THOMAS L. STOKES; ‘ : imes Special Writer
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—A major labor controversy that ramifies into the nation-wide A. F. of L.-C. I. O. conflict fland into the Government's defense policy is developing from
the outset a simple matter of
a Detroit builder of prefabricated houses offering to build 800 defense-worker homes for $216,000 less than anybody
Nor is it likely that the builder, Patrick J. Currier, realized what he was starting when he decided to get some
up for this purpose with the
C. L. O. after resisting unions for years, and made his low bid. His offer was turned down on advice of Sidney Hillman,
head of OPM’s labor djvision,
goes to Mr. Currier; John Lord O'Brian, chief counsel of OPM; representatives of the Federal Works Agency, which turned down the contract, and observers for labor unions. William Green and Jokn L. Lewis are not present, but they are getting a .complete fill-in, for both are seriously interested and both must testify later. Mr. Hillman told the Committee about the stabilization agreement with the A, F. of L. building trades in which they agreed not to strike on defense contracts. The A. PF, of L. presumed that this agreement meant they would be favored in construction contracts, though Mr. Hillman insisted it provided no “monopoly.” Under grilling, however, he finally had to admit that he had advised against awarding the contract to Mr. Currier ‘because of “disturbance” expected from the A. F. of L. in Detroit, which he hinted might take the form of a tie-up of that industrial city by A. F. of L. teamsters, who are led by Daniel J. Tobin,
Issue Simplified
Committee members were suddenly aroused by final simplification of the issue into such a threat, and brushed aside Mr, Hillman’s earlier insistence that the stabilization agreement had proved effective in keeping defense industry going. “If we can’t let a contract to a responsible bidder, the low bidder, without a strike, then what is the country coming to?” Senator Harry S. Truman (D. Mo.), Committee chairman. “Is the Government of the United States set up by C. I. O,, A. F. of L. or by the Constitution?” Senator Ralph O. Brewster (R. Me.) wanted to know if the American Government was going to “bend its knee” to “irresponsible elements,” and later he declared, “1 should say, Mr. Hillman, that we had a Labor Government represented by you.” A very delicate question is involved, with the threat, on one hand, of serious labor trouble from the A. F. of L. which would endanger the defense program, and, on the other, of the Government, if it yields to this situation, putting itself in the position of boycotting reputable contractors who happen

TUCKER CSE
Tells Women Republicans ‘New Deal Politics’ Is Failure Cause.
Times Special NASHVILLE, Ind. Oct. 23.—Secretary of State James Tucker today charged the Roosevelt Administration with playing politics with the national defense effort in an address before the Indiana Women’s Republican Club here.
“Confusion and chaos reign throughout the entire defense effort, due entirely to the attempts of the New ‘Deal to utilize defense as a means of enhancing their political future,” he said. “We have seen Congressmen bludgeoned into line by the threat of refusal to place defense industries in their district. We have watched many things that have occurred in shaping our defense program.
Slusion that there are many of them | N in high places who are more: interested in a perpetrating .upon thes country the quack theories. of the]; New Deal rather than giving their efforts to the creation of a solid de-|4A® fense system,” he added. Mr. Tucker asserted that it was the paramount duty of the Republican Party at the present time to point out “the many gross failures” of the present Administration in carrying out the defense program.
