Labor Peace Hopes Waning in National Labor Talks
In New York on March 13 the AFL and CIO labor peace committees spent nearly six hours behind closed doors trying to bridge differences over the four year old schism. Harry Bates said the conference is recessed until 8:30 pm tomorrow. Roosevelt was rumored to consider White House intervention if talks stall. The CIO favored some presidential role, while the AFL opposed arbitration. The talks also covered a CIO proposal to have a non AFL leader head a congress of labor unions and the AFL idea to resume talks from the 1937 breakdown with jurisdictional settlements.
