Compromise Sought in AFL Dispute With Rebel Unions
Henry Ohl of the Wisconsin Federation of Labor presented a compromise plan to the AFL executive council amid a trial of 12 rebel unions led by John L. Lewis. The plan aims to avert a split with the CIO and craft unions, while Lewis and 11 allied leaders continue to ignore summons and deny council authority. The trial could shape the future of U.S. labor, as the CIO drives mass production unionization without AFL approval.
