AFL CONVENTION
FACING DEBATE
ON LABOR MEET
New Orleans, La., Nov,
(U.R) The annual convention of
the American Federation of La
bor faced a heated discussion to
day of international labor rela
tions, prefaced by a flat state
ment from Daniel J. Tobin, head
of the Teamsters' Union, that
he would refuse to participate
in the world conference on la
bor at London.
"I am a member of the (AFL)
executive council and I don't
believe we could sit at the same
table .with labor organizations
that are not free whose wages
are set by the government,"
Tobin said.
He added, however, that this
attitude would not prevent his
serving as a representative of
American labor at a peace con
ference, and that such an assign
ment would "be a government
; order, and I would consider it
a service to my people to ac
cept." Tobin said that the fact that
the CIO had accepted the Lon
don invitation did not affect his
decision in the matter.
"I have often appeared on
programs and on the same plat
form with Philip Murray and
with other CIO officials, as ev
eryone knows," Tobin said. He
said that his reference to labor
unions that are "not free" did
not include " any American
unions. .

STRANGE FUELS
USED TO KEEP
Washington (U P) Ingenious
foreigners, trying to beat the
gas and oil shortage, are keep
ing their cars running on such
substitutes as oil from alli
gators' tails and rum mixtures,
an article in Foreign Com
merce Weekly, Commerce De
partment publication, states.
Total war has acquainted mo
tors with strange fuels and lu
bricants, and even before the
war oil-poor countries had de
veloped many synthetic oil
products, according to Dorothy
Knibb, author of the article.
Alligator Oil
Alligators are plentiful in
Brazil, and when no better sub
stitute Is available, motors are
kept humming . with alligator
tail oil, which is even reported
to have run a Diesel engine suc
cessfully. The residents of Martinique
find that a heady preparation
containing 02 per cent rum and
eight per cent gasoline works
successfully and stretches slim
gas supplies, the article said.
Probably the most widely
known substitute oil, Miss
Knibb said, is benzol, distilled
from coal tar. Information con
cerning production of benzol is
carefully restricted at present.
"Gasogenes"
Also widely used, from Swe
den to Spain and. from India to
Brazil, are "gasogenes," stove
like devices attached to auto
mobiles or tractors and fed by
wood or charcoal. At least 80
per cent of all the vehicles In
Sweden are operating on gaso
genes. Anhydrous alcohol, a product
of grain, sugar, beets or other
carbohydrates, also is receiving
world-widn attention n in
stitute motor fuel, and may be
usea oy itself or mixed with
petroleum, Miss Knibb said.
Scandinavian countries have
been using methane gas made
from town sewage while Spain
reDOrts Successful lien nf n now
fuel, "Can-eras," a mixture of
gasoline and distillate from
twigs, straw, leaves, or other
products, she said.
