(fll The career of the Industrial Employes' Union, Inc., ended yesterday with a plea by the board of directors that Its 6000 members Join the AFL Lumber and Sawmill Workers' unions. Dissolution of the union was announced by E. N. Wightman, treasurer, who accused the CIO International Woodworkers of America of "maneuvering" through the national labor re lations board for a series of elec tions in which bailots provided only for a choice of the, CIO or no union. The probability that workers would accept the CIO rather than abandon representation prompted the dissolution, he said. Approximately 10 0 0 IEU members already have switched to the AFL, Wightman added. In line with the dissolution of the Industrial Employes' Union, Inc., members of the I.E.U. local met and disbanded at Butte Falls last night, according to E. H.

BY GEORGIANS IS FEDERAL CHARGE Chicago, May 29 VP) Two Georgians William T. Cunning ham, an Oglethorpe county plant er, and Hamilton McWhorter, Lexington lawyer and former president of the Georgia senate were named in federal indict ments today charging conspiracy to "hold Negroes in a condition of peonage and slavery." The rare action was brought under the civil rights statute and charged the defendants con spired to deprive six Negroes, now in Chicago, of their civil rights under the 13th amend ment which guarantees freedom from slavery. A statement from the district attorney's office said the indict ment charged that "for many years Cunningham had enslaved Negroes on his plantations, in ducing them to come to work by promises of wages and by getting them out of Jail or off of the chain gang. Once on the plantations, the Negroes were no longer free. They received no wages and Cunningham in stilled in them the fear of run ning away by lashing them with straps and causing them to be imprisoned or sent to Georgia chain gang if they attempted to run away. The three counts in the Indict ment carry a maximum penalty on conviction, of 14 years' im prisonment and $25,000 fine. PLANElARlG Roseburg, Ore., May 29.

May 29 (P) The government began cross-examination of Harry Bridges to day in its efforts to deport the CIO labor leader to Australia. "Now, Mr. Bridges." asked Government Counsel Albert Del Guercio, "don't you attribute your success as a great labor leader, at least in a small way, to the support given you by the Communist party?" "No." Bridges replied. "I think I may attribute it more to the attacks made on me by the Hearst press." "But you have received the support of the Communist par ty?" Del Guercio asked. "I wouldn't doubt that Is cor rect." Bridges answered. "And you have supported the Communist party in your ca reer?" "Yes and no. I 've supported individuals and policies of all parties." "When and under what cir cumstances did you support members and leaders of the Communist party?" "I haven't said I had support ed leaders of the Communist party." Del Guercio then turned the questioning to Bridges' experi ences in Australia before his arrival In the United States. NEEDED LONGER Washington, May 29. VP) Indefinite military duty for the national guard was considered a virtual certainty by army of ficials today because of the un limited national emergency pro claimed by President Roosevelt. An early request to congress for authority to retain the 291,- 000 guardsmen in service be yond the current single year of training was accordingly antici pated, although no final decis ion has been disclosed on the question. In the light of the threat to American security pictured by the chief executive, an inform ed official suggested it would be "hardly logical" to demobil ize 18 full divisions of trained troops, representing more than half the number of such major units under arms in all the ex panding land forces.
