Lewis Set For Falk Challenge At AFL Convention

SAN FRANCISCO October 14. Lewis who has not uttered a word at the AFL convention thus far will have this afternoon a chance to blast fellow unionists who would bow to the Taft Hartley act. A proposed amendment to AFLs 66 year old constitution to abolish the office of vice president and move duties is to be offered this afternoon. The shaggy haired mine leader is expected to strike back. David Dubinsky head of the International Ladies Garment Workers and chairman of the laws committee said he would report the proposed amendment to the convention as soon as the schedule permitted. Lewis is one of 13 vice presidents on the Wyman executive council and the plan to strip him of his titles as of five was adopted by the council 12 to 2 with Lewis casting the lone negative vote. The convention delegates have the final say on a constitutional amendment and two thirds must uphold the change. Adoption would leave only President William Green and Secretary Treasurer George Meany as officers while Lewis would be a corporate member.
