These orders have been resisted up to now because of the strength of the Canadian union sentiment for labor unity. But the pressure from AFL's headquarters seems finally to have had effect in the reluctant decision of the executive council of the Trades and Labor Congress to obey William Green's splitting orders. Vice President D. W. Morrison of the Trades and Labor Congress, is also president of District No. 26 of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica, as the one CIO representative am- ong the Congress representatives, has upheld the CIO stand for unity thro- ughout. In opposing any spiit, he declared. “My stand is that of strict adherence to the decision of the recent conven- tion of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress held at Niagara Falls that there would be no division of the ranks of labor in Canada. “The organization of which I have been the honor of being an officer and a member, the United Mine Workers of America, stands for unity in the ranks of labor, not only in Canada, but in the United States as well.” If the craft leaders finally succeed in splitting the labor movement in Canada, the CIO unions will still con- tinue to stand and work for labor un- ity. This they can do with a clear con- i science, for the record shows beyond any shadow of doubt who are the split- ters of the labor movement. The CIO has stood consistently for the labor un- o < > In Canada, both CIO and AFL un-! who | ity which is also desired by most of the rank and file of the AFL. The dis- rupters of this unity are the AIL cr leaders who evidently believe that they can only continue to rule through division. ‘LOVER'S QUARREL ENDS IN DEATH FOR YOUTH Despondent, police believe, over a lover's quarrel, Thomas W. Slad, 25, of Gallitzin, took his life late Sunday night in the woods along what is known as the Mountain Road leading from Gallitzin to Coupon. The body was found about six o'clock on Mon- day evening’ by County Detective John C. McGowan and Chief of Police Jul- ius Jernosky of Gallitzin, who were in- formed that a car was parked on the highway with an overcoat, hat and keys in it. Starting an investigation immediat- ly, the two officers followed tracks from the car about fifty yards into the woods where they came upon the body. Slad had been dead about twen- ty hours, it is estimated. Raymond V. Glancy, a coal trucker of Gallitzin, first noticed the parked car when he was passing with a load of coal. On the return trip the car was still there and another autoist, reach- ing the scene at the same time was forced to drive off the highway to permit the car to pass. It was in helping the motorist back cnto the road that Glancy became cur- ious about the parked car and looked inside. He noticed the hat and over- coat and noticed that the keys were in the ignition switch. The car, he said, was coated with ice, indicating it had been parked there some time. On reaching Gallitzin, Glancy notified police authorities. Officers learned Sunday night Slad had been with a girl to whom he was engaged. On interviewing the young woman officers learned that Slad had seemed depressed by a disagreement the pair had during the evening and that Slad had left the girl’s home in anger about ten o'clock. A .25 calibre automatic revolver was found close to the body, it appearing that Slad had sat down in the snow, shot himself through the heart and fell full length on his back dead. Only one shot was fired, six cartridges re- maining in the clip. Thomas W. Slad was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Marco Slad both deceased. He is survived by a brother, Steve, and a sister, Helen, of Gallitzin, and a brother residing in Michigan. = He was employed as an iron worker by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Gallitzin.
