Friday, November 11, visiting with
various members of the trade unions
and at The Dallas Craftsman, discus-
sing'varigus problems and giving some

coming session of the legialature at
Austin.
He was In conference Thursday all
day with Nat Welle of the law firm.
Mullinax and Wells, going over final
transcripts to the labor legislation to
be presented.
The new legislation will deal prin-
cipally with Workmen’s Compensa-
tion laws and new safety laws.
Indications are hopeful that labor
has a good chance to get some new
legislation introduced at the next ses-
sion, but there is much work to be
done to get the bills enacted into the
laws of the state.
Mr. Sparks brought his family to
Dallas with him, but was unable to
remain over for the Dallas Central

tic about the union she belongs to. in
a recent interview.
"Originally, she said, our group was
organised primarily because we are
an agency of the Department of Labor
and as an agency of that department,
we felt we should belong to an affil-
iated organisation. ” It was the opin-
ion of the group, they could beat servo
their own interests and those of the
American Federation of Labor, by
joining together in order to secure
the benefits such an organisation
would offer.
At the present time they are trying
to get fair consideration on annual
and sick leave. Annual and sick leave
has come up for some restriction by
Congress. It was felt the AF of L was
very influential in getting equitable
arrangement in the matter.

mately 28 members and has as Its

Groan was the 3rd president of the
AFL since it was founded in 1881. He
was elected president in 1924 following
the death of Samuel Gompers, founder
at the federation. That election was
by the Executive Council. Each suc-
ceeding year. Green was re-elected by
the annual AFL conventions. Last
September he was elected by the con-
vention again for the 1953 term.
In air those years, not a single vote
of opposition to Green was ever cast
at any AFL convention. Perhaps this
was the greatest tribute to his qualities
as a leader.
On Kameroes Committees
Green served on the sponsoring com-
mittee of the Alfred E. Smith Mem-

of the National Council of the United
