BUI R IF UU sua (G Uy V.Wh MALLON. (Copyright. 1037, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. May 13. Labor be hemoth John Lewis hates anything green. His C. I. O. hates anything sconoe cted wltn "a. F. of Ij. crafts. ' But when Mr. i Lewla sent around gspeclflcatlon call sing for bids on re. a modeling the Unl- hvcrslty club palace 1 here Into a United SMlne workers' headquarters pal- lace, the final stlp- s ulation he maae i'aul .Mallon was substantially this: In any work to be done, only Mr. Green's A. P. of L. craft union labor shall be employed. The humor of Mr. Lewis providing Jobs for the workers of Mr. Green la one thing. The mm mat mis dw. tie of the behemoths has lately turn ed Into something more of a family affair Is another. For Instance, there Is the fact (few people know lt) that Mr. Green has never been expelled from the Lewis United Mine Workers' union. Fur- thermore, the Lewis C. I. O. unions have not been expelled from the A. F. of L. They merely have sua pended each other. That seems to sum up their real relationship behind their embattled headlines. They are In a state of sus pension, possibly permanent sus pension, but by no means as bitter suspension as they were some weeks ago. This will probably be denied ar dently. It may be said Mr. Lewis bad no love for Mr. Green, but only self -preservation In mind when he wrote his palace specifications. All building trades unions are In the A. F. of L. and Mr. Lewis would than from non-union classes. The fact that he specified lt may be ex plained by the assertion that con tractors were timid about taking the Job for - fear of Lewls-Orecn labor troubles on It. . After all this has been explained, however, there will still remain the fact that Mr. Lewla has not kicked out Mr. Green and vice versa. It seems the United Mine Workers executive committee discovered it did not have the power to expel Mr. Green because he appealed to a local union for a hearing of the charges. Hta local Is at Coshocton. Ohio, and after the matter went there, no one around hero heard or it thereafter. Incidentally, there seems to bo a deep Inside disposition (Continued on Page Ten.)
