Ellender tossed the remark about the United Mine Workers chieftain into senate labor committee hear ings at which A.F.L.

Green opposed, among other things, proposals to ban the closed shop under which a man must be a union member to get a job. He also said industry-wide bargaining should be permitted. Harry Stevenson, president of the AFL international molders and foundry workers, backed up Green. He testified that his union had op erated peacably with management for years, following just such prac tices.

Lewis who cause all the trouble."
