Rough Tactics
NEW PLAN PROPOSED
Nation Wide Cooperatives
Suggested As Answer
To Problems
. By H. C. IIUXTEK
WASH LNGTOX, .1 une P)
The downfall of the American Feder
ation of Labor is predicted by W. C.
Kucgnitz. lrcidint of the coopera
tive Loyal Legion of Ixf:gcrs and Lum
bermen's union, because of "destruc
tive efforts" of its leaders. He pro
poses a national organization of em
ployer and employes.
In a prepared article, Ilui'fuiitz s"id
coperative unioiw, where employes, and
employers iron out their diffimlties
around the coiiferei.ro table, "is the
one way out of the labor-capital con
fusion Into which industry has been
thrown by the complete collapse of
the NKA."
Co-ops Claim 2,500,000 Members
The Bo-colled cooperative unions
were Kiid to have a membership of
approximately 2,Ii(K),lK)0 in the United
States, while the paid up membership
of the A. F. of L. was given at about
4,(K)(MMKI. The cooperative unions,
however, have no rciKnil organization,
being merely local to each industry, a
situation Huognitz aid he hoped to
change.
The Legion president asserted the
strike in the Washington ami Oregon
lumber induMry was merely "the out
come of a struggle between the Amer
ican Federation of Ijibnr ond the 4-L
organization" and added the industry
"is being torn apart by strike propa
ganda fomented by the A. F. of L. and
seemingly supported by regional labor
board members."
Appeals For Concerted Action

nntional organization of cooperative
and company unions, Kcugnitz wrote:

Flier's Mechanical Genius
Brings Triumph To
Long Experiments
By IIOWAltD W. ULAKF.SLF.K
(Associated Press Science Kditor)
NKW YOltK, June 21. OW The
inechnninil genius of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, switched to science, in
augurates a new cycle in medical pro
gress announced today. He has per
fected a new mechanical heart and
lungs at the Itockefeller institute,
where ho has been working for several
years in seclusion of bis own choos
ing.
It enables surgcous to remove a
whole organ, such as kidneys, heart
spleen or glands from an animal's
body, and keep it alive indefinitely,
growing independently, in an artificial
chamber. The mechanical heart fur
nishes artificial blood. It revives or
gans an hour after death of the animal
from which they came.
Long Sought Goal Attained
This reaches a goal medicine has
sought 12;t years. The goal is to make
whole parts of the body live in glass
chamliers where scientists could sec
them and leorn nt first hand how they
fight disease and how they secrete
the sinews of health.
Heretofore the handicap has been
that- the removed organs died they
caught bncterial infection junt like
a person. Lindbergh's new apparatus
has wiped out the infectious.

mechanical side. Ho tenmcd with Dr.
