WASHINGTON, May 14—(UP) —President Wiliam Green of the American Federation of Labor told the United Press today that organized labor is ready to strike where necessary to resist wage reduction, the first direct warning of a capital-labor break since President Hoover negotiated his ■‘industrial truce."
“We feel that we are being driven to the point where we must resist attempts of employers to reduce wages even though it may be necessary for workers to go on strike," Green said.
"Because employers assured the President of the United States they would maintain wages, we feel there ls a moral obligation on all employers to carry out that understanding."

FOR COUNCIL
Fred Chase Chosen President; Bautzer is Assistant.
Complicated rushing roles which have existed for the past two years were abolished by the Interfraternity council last night after a lengthy study of rushing restrictions used on other university campuses.
An amendment removing the deferred pledging requirements was adopted, and the effect is to permit pledging by fraternities at any time before or after men are formally enrolled in the university.
The only restriction still in operation is the one which requires an 18-week period to elapse after a pledge is broken before the candidate may be pledged by another fraternity.
CHASE IS PRESIDENT Fred Chase was elected president of the council for next year, with Gregson Bautzer vice-president, Page Parker secretary, Mid Ray Arbuthnot, treasurer.
Chase was chairman of the In-terfraternity Relations committee of the council which during the past year has organized interfra-ternity smokers and weekly luncheon exchanges. He is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
Bautzer Is a varsity debater and a member of Phi Kappa Psi. Page Parker has been president of Trojan Squires and is a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. Arbuthnot is an officer of the College of Commerce, and a member of Kappa Alpha fraternity.
"Abolition of rushing rules resulted because they became unwieldy and unsulted to present conditions. Fraternities felt they hampered rather than helped,” Paul Zander, outgoing president, commented.
“During the past year the council has accomplished much in the fields of scholarship, reorganization of the constitution, promoting interfraternity cordiality and spirit, and securing unity In ita organization. I am confident the fine spirit will carry on and the council will continue to deserve the national commendation it has received," Chase said on taking over the presidency.
Three Southern California students took four out of nine prizes in the Phi Beta Kappa essay contest. From left to right the prize winners are Jack Rempel, Martha Siler, and Edgar F. Good.
