Lewis Plans New CIO Expansion Drive

John L. Lewis, returning from a coal field triumph, called the CIO executive board to meet June 13 to expand organizing activities. Reports hint the drive may target AFL strongholds especially in building trades, with no mention of postponed CIO AFL peace talks. A Roosevelt delegation to Geneva labor talks lacked CIO presence, which aides deem a slap at CIO. Separate note: 108 miles of tunnels form part of an aqueduct bringing Colorado River water to Los Angeles.
