Communists Skeptical Over Suppression of Madrid Revolt
The two Communist factions say the peace plan revolt claim is dubious and note fighting continues in Madrid. French reports claim Franco gave Miaja a week to pacify the Madrid Valencia Alicante zone, the last Republican-held region after Catalonia. Some sources suggest Miaja could invite Franco to finish the job if the revolt persists. Food scarcity in Madrid could force decisive action.

Resume Labor Peace Parley in New York
March 13 1939 negotiators from the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations resume efforts to end the four year civil war within labor. Previous talks in Washington and New York left committees divided but leaders hopeful for an armistice under pressure from President Roosevelt. Secretary Perkins urged employers workers and union officials to push constructive negotiations. Opposition to John Lewis proposal for a new American Congress of Labor remains likely as AFL CIO and independent railway brotherhoods seek unity without Green or Lewis in leadership.
