AFL Chief Rejects New CIO Peace Plan As Vehicle To Merge
William Green denounced John L. Lewis proposed peace plan as the same old scheme with objectionable features from a rejected plan. Green said the CIO leader offered to march into the AFL on February 1 if charters were issued and a convention would be called to finalize details.
