tion held by the National Labor Re
lations Board.

are many other things I could say

Lewis Rapped
Again by Green
Cincinnati. May 31 m William
Oreen left a renewed ultimatum
with the Committee for Industrial
Organization today.
After warning in a prepared ad
dress against continued spending by
the government, the American Fed
eration of Labor president declared
last night that the doors "of the
house of labor were still open to
those who had left its portals, but
the American Federation of Labor
will never leave that house to go
to them."
Green mentioned neither the CIO
nor it leader, John L. Lewis, in his
talk at the AFL's first annual trade
and union label exposition here,
but said:
"Nowadays we hear employer
complain of oppression by labor
and by the government. In some
cases where Industry has been
plagued by sit-down strikes and
other illegal and high-handed pro
cedure, these complaints are Justi
fied. "The American Federation of La
bor and It unions do not and will
not condone such Illegal methods
of organization. We condemn
them."
He then added:
"The real assets of labor are not
to- be found in large treasuries of
great financial power, but in union
or solidarity. wnen you find
a man who even by a gesture would
destroy that unity, can that man
be a friend of labor?"

Kidnaper
Drops Appeal
San Francisco, May 31 (At A
penciled request that a habeas cor
pus petition be dismissed was filed
In federal court today by Harmon
Met Waley, serving a life sent
ence at Alcatrat Island federal pen
itentiary for the 1935 abduction of
young George Weyerhaeuser, son of
a Tacoma, Wash., lumber man.
The quest, written on cheap tab
let paper, read:
"I Harmon Mett Waley, petition
er in the above entitled case, pray
that Honorable Judge Michael
Roche will dismiss and do away
with the action requested therein
and that the petition so requested
shall be dismissed."
There was no explanation as to
why Waley had changed hi mind.
In an affidavit filed May 13, Waley
contended hi sentence was invalid
because the young Weyerhaeuser
boy never was taken out of the
state of Washington.
The affidavit also had a crudely
drawn map with an "X" showing
the kidnap hideaway was near the
Idaho state line.
Waley said he confessed falsely
to taking the Weyerhaeuser boy
outside Washington state because
he wished to protect his sick moth
er and his wife, and because he "re
lied on the ego of J. Edgar Hoover
In wanting publicity" to achelvt his
end.
