CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 13. (AP)
The American Federation of Labor
received today the resignation of
Its veteran secretary-treasurer, Frank
Morrison, and heard from Homer
Martin a declaration that the real
purpose of John L. Lewis' Congress
or Industrial Organizations waa "to
destroy the American labor move
ment." In his first speech to a federa
tion gathering since his faction of
the United Auto Workers Interna
tional switched from CIO to AFL.
Martin renewed many of his "dic
tator" charges against Lewis, assert
ing the CIO chief held the greatest
"contempt for autonomous rights of
CIO affiliates."
No Aid Given U.A.W.
He charged too, that Lewis and
his organization made no contribu
tions to the upbuilding of the UAW.
nor aided It with funds In Its strike
against General Motors In 1937. But
Lewis has spent, he declared, up
warda of SI. 600. 000 since last Janu
ary "to capture and control," the
auto workers union. The UAW split
into two camps early this year.
Martin, a one-time clergyman,
charged Lewis set up CIO because
of his ambition "to control a labor
empire."
"Since he could not control the
American Federation." he said, "his
first objective waa to destroy It. In
his mad schemes, he was Joined by
the Inveterate enemies of the Amer
lcsn isbor movement, the commu
nist party."
Secretary Since 1896
In announcing his retirement,
Morrison said :
"X do It with a full heart. All
circumstances considered, It will be
helpful to the trade union move
ment at this time."
Morrison, 80 next November, has
been secretary since 1806. Trade un
ion leadera predicted Oeorge Meany,
president of the New York State
Federation of Labor and member of
the plumbers' union, would succeed
him. Delegates created a $6,000 a year
retirement compensation for Morrison.
times In succession before he put
across his scheme for exploring the
western world. They not only laughed
at Columbus they laughed at him
for 10 years straight. I
He first broached the Idea to King
John of Portugal In 1483. The king
referred him to the council for geo
graphical affairs. And they turned
him down.
So Columbus went to Spain, and
spent two years trying to sell the
Idea to the Count of Medina. After
all that work, the count referred hlro
to Queen Isabella.
The queen was busy fighting the
Moors, and the proposition (what
Columbus was after was financing)
was referred to a royal committee.
And they turned it down.
Then he went-to Cardinal Mendoza,
who finally suoceeded In arranging a
direct Interview with the queen. But
once more It was no dloe.
In 1488 (four years to go yet!)
Columbus went back to Portugal and
resumed negotiations with that gov
ernments to no avail.
While his brother Bartholomew was
proposing the Idea to the British
and French governments, Columbus
spent the entire year of 1490 lining
ui auumer nearing from the Spanish
government. A cabinet council told
him to come back and see them when
the war was over.
In despair, he started for France,
but on the way ran Into an old
friend, Juan Perez, formerly the
queen s confessor, who promised to
write her a letter.
That got Columbus another 1ntr.
view. But Just when he thought he
had the deal In the bag, the govern
ment balked.
In January, 1493, he sot out In
disgust for France. Simultaneously,
the Spanish government chanced its
mind, and sent a messenger after
him.
Six miles out of town, the mes
senger caught up with Columbus.

Talk Neutralltv To Death
To the editor:
I think Mr. E. Deacon of Talent
hlta the nail on the head In regard
to our neutrality question now be
fore congress, but congress will likely
tnlk neutrality to death. Just like
they did the Leugue of Nations.
As Mr. Deacon says, "How can
we make a neutrality law work as
we would like for It to?"
We do not want to help Japan
slaughter Chinese.
As the embargo now works It fa
vors Germany against England and
France.
Now we will suppose the war lasts
several years and Russia goes In on
the side ot Germany and attacks
Cannda on tho west.
What will we do about that? Are
we going to have our commerce
destroyed because there Is a war In
nurope who Bays that we shall
treat all nations alike I
Why not have one or three good
men to guide the good old U.S.A.
and let the congressmen go home
and fix up their political fences?
Make this country strone enoueh
so that any other country that Jumps
win do giao to Jump off.
Money spent In this country Is
well spent and better than havlns
a war.
Build more war vessels and more
airplanes.
Our men need the work.
Then tell Oermany to attend to
her business and we will try to at
tend to ours.
