Peace Efforts In Labor Trial Gain Strength
Washington Aug 4 a compromise move to avert outright expulsion of labor unions led by John L Lewis gained strength at the American Federation of Labor executive council trial. Petitions from local unions and conciliators swayed some of the 14 council members against drastic action. Support grew for a pension proposal to the AFL National Convention in November at Tampa, Fla, potentially easing the craft vs industrial union issue before the federation. Lewis and allies skipped the council trial but signaled they would fight at the convention. An outright suspension could bar Lewis affiliated delegates from seating.
