Trouble as Fight For Control In an attempt to dear up the mean ing of the present squabble between the American Federation of 'Labor and the Committee for Industrial Or ganization, the CoLLEGIarq has inter viewed Arthur H. Reede, instructor in economies. He explained that "there are two types of unions—the horizontal and the vertical. The horizontal, as is the A. F. of L., is a unionization of crafts while' the vertical, such as the C. I. 0., is a unionization of industries. "This fight is not a personal one between Lewis, the C. I. 0. leader, and Green, 'of the A. F. of L.," Mr. Reede said, "since they are known to be warm personal friends. "Green strung along with the small majority of the A. F. of L. when the issue came to a vote," he went on, "while Lewis led the opposition grouli, which became the Committee for In dustrial Organization.'.' When asked as to the outcome, Mr. Reede saia, "I believe that the 0. will win out, because with 'contin ued invention crafts lose their iden tity, and there will be a constantly decreasing demand for skilled labor. "With less - and less skilled crafts men,. the need for organization of in dustries become more necessary," he said. R.O.T.C. Parade Dates Released by Venable Weather permitting, the first R. O. T.
