VOTE TODAY ON PUNISHMENT OF LABOR REBELS
A. F. of L. Council Members Are Ready to Act in ‘Heresy’ Trial.
CAUTION RECOMMENDED
Lewis’ Faction Is Prepared to Start Separatist Movement.
By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. — The American Federation of Labor Executive Council agreed today to meet at 2 p. m. to vote on punishment for
the John L. Lewis “rebel” unions after further consideration of the “heresy” case participated in for the first time by a representative of Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Organization. David Dubinsky, a council member in addition to being one of the C. I. O. heads now on trial, sat with the council today. He said he urged “caution” in dealing with the situation after previously warning a federation official that a drastic suspension order would result in ‘setting up a new labor organization as a rival to the A. F. of L. ’ The decision tb vote on the case at the 2 p. m. meeting came after a full review of the charges of insurrection and dual unionism had been given for Mr. Dubinsky’s benefit at the morning sessiqn.
Change Not Indicated
There was no indication of change in the attitude of council members who have insisted that the “rebel” group be suspended. However, Mr. Dubinsky’s participation in the council session was the first gesture of any sort from the Lewis camp toward even discussing the issues involved since issuance of the trial order by the executive council. Mr. Dubinsky conferred with President William Green of the federation before the council session started and met with him again when the recess was taken. Suspension, generally regarded as the likeliest sentence, would deprive the “rebel” group of a voice in proceedings of the A. F. of L. convention” this“fall.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.— Thus far the presidential campaign has proceeded with all hands completely absorbed in domestic affairs as though every one was utterly oblivious to the real possibility that the next Administration might have a European war on its hands.

Neutrality Law Expires in May It is ‘as .if: the ‘whole problem of . keeping out of war had been disposed of with the enactment of neutrality legislation last winter. However, that legislation expires May '1-next, less than nine months hence. Even. as it stands, it is regarded by most authorities on ‘the subject as entirely inadequate. Furthermore, -the Spanish situa-. tion has unexpectedly “disclosed a gaping hole in it.
