Criticism of John L Lewis Sidetracked at Maryland Labor Meet
Cumberland May 27 A convention of the Maryland and District of Columbia Federation of Labor sidetracked a resolution condemning John L Lewis head of the United Mine Workers for violating labor's no strike pledge. The measure failed to reach a record against Lewis as the group adjourned its 38th annual state meeting. The plan to condemn Lewis was reported unfavorably by the federation resolutions committee before being sent to the floor. The gathering also adopted a separate resolution condemning Capt Eddie Rickenbacker for his alleged anti union stance. The convention concluded with officers and delegates present from state unions including ILGWU and Washington hotel and restaurant workers.
