Newspaper Page Text2 Tht News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Tuti., Jan. 31, 1950 AFL Irked By Denham's Speech On Teamsters MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Jan. Sl ur) ine mgn command ol the American Federation ol Labor, irked at the latest speech of Rob bert N. Denham, hat called him "unlit" for his government job. The AFL leadership said Den ham, general counsel ol the Na tional Labor Relations board, is seeking to apply the anti-trust laws to labor unions. What drew the ire of the AFL's executive council was Denham's speech in Washington yesterday saying the AFL teamsters' union has a potential power to cripple most industries. Denham said the million-man union of truck drivers exercises control over delivery of materials touching nearly every industry in the country. This brought a blast against him from the AFL council and hot words rom several council mem bers, including President William i Green and Dan Tobin, teamster's union chief. Still another member said pri vately: "It's bad enough having to live wtih the Taft-Hartley law with out Denham running around the country telling employers they ought to get even tougher laws on labor." The council noted that only a few weeks ago Denham made a speecn accusing the NLRB of pro labor bias and suggming that employers appeal board rulings to tne courts. -While branding Denham as "un fit" to continue in his Job, none of the AFL leaders went so far as to suggest his removal from office as CIO President Philip Murray has done several times.
