DISPUTE LIKELY T0 DELAY FARM BILL'S PASSAGE
Agricultural Groups Divide On Ever-Normal Crop Proposal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (U. P.).— Sharp disagreement between farm organization leaders, Administration
officials and farm state congressmen today threatened the early passage of a crop control bill by the special session of Congress. While there appeared to be diversified views on the type of farm legislation necessary, official con- | gressional circles doubted that =a comprehensive, permanent farm bill could be prepared by the committees by Nov. 15, even though agree- | ment in principle was reached. The differences were the same that blocked enactment of a farm bill near the close of the regular session. Wallace Holds Aloof
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace refused to be drawn into the fight. He said his Department would not prepare a bill for congressional consideration. He will be ready, if asked, to give advice and “other assistance.” The National Grange and the Farmers Union are opposed to the ever-normal-granary measure sponsored by Edward A. O'Neal of the American Farm Bureau Federation —the most powerful of farm organizations. Secretary Wallace approved the O'Neal bill “in principle in testimony before the House Agricultural Committee.

Proposal for Meeting Week After Next Made by Lewis Group.

57th annual A. F, of L. convention this morning. William Green, A. F. of L. president, delayed comment until he had studied the proposal. Meantime, the federation remained ready for war against the rebel unions if necessary. The convention approved plans for a major offensive, gave the Executive Council sweeping new powers to act
against insurgents and prepared to

The convention adopted resolutions calling for a five-day week and six-hour day to meet the unemployment problem and prevent future depressions, The convention adopted a resolution urging application of the shorter work week to the Panama Canal Zone, Resolutions were adopted approving and continuing the Federation's efforts to foster low-cost housing. The convention adopted a building trades committee report indorsing a broad, low-cost housing program with expansion of the work initiated under the Wagner Housing Act.
C. I. O. Blamed for Split
The A. F. of LL reply to the C. I. O.'s Columbus Day peace proposal reviewed at length the split in organized labor, blamed the C. I. O. for it, and maintained that it had tried to make peace and always stood ready to make peace. “We therefore submit what we stand ready and willing,” the telegram summarized, “as hereinbefore indicated, to meet through the means of our special committee with a like representative committee of the organizations or any or all of the unions making up the conference of the Committee for Industrial Organization at such time and place as may be agreed upon, without prior commitment and for the purpose of reuniting the forces of labor under the banner of the American Federation of Labor and under such terms and conditions {and policies and procedures as may be agreed to and prove accepatble to all.” The C. I. O. had suggested that each organization send into the proposed peace conference a committee of 100 members,

groups might amalgamate, each side hoping to gain control eventually. In any event, it is certain that the C. I. O. will accept no peace which aoes not leave its member unions free to organize in the lush field of the mass-production industries. The most convenient way to achieve this would be to create a “mass industry department” in the A. F. of L.~—under Mr. Lewis, of course, The federation already has departments for the building trades, the metal trades, the railway unions and the union label trades. These groups have wide powers to govern their own affairs. The A. F. of L. would retain its control over the state federations and city central bodies, with the recently ousted C. I. O. delegates restored to membership in these bodies.
In politics and legislation, the C. I. O. has gone far afield from the Gompers type of “voluntarism,” which means reliance upon economic strength and avoidance of active politics. The C. I. O. has actively supported political candidates, and legislation such as the Guffey Coal Act,
NLRB Strikes Back At Critics of Policy
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (U. P). -—The National Labor Relations Board struck back at its critics today, by asserting it “never entertained the hope” of satisfying both the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization. Board members issued a state ment after an all day session yesterday at which they discussed criticisms made by the rival labor organizations. The statement said the current labor conflict tended “to obscure the fundamental results of the Board's operations.” The Board claimed that the protection of labor's rights to organize in the last year had added “our million workers to the ranks of the two major labor organizations.

Mr. Williams said the union offered at yesterday's conference to negotiate the rest of the agreement, then return to the closed shop paragraph, But company officials refused, Mr. Williams said. The, struck firms are the Weber Milk Co., Capitol Dairies, Inc., and the R. W. Furnas Ice Cream Co. The companies were represented at yesterday's conference with Mr. Hutson by Guy L. Roberts, Roberts Milk Co. official; Clarence J. Hill, Furnas general manager, and Don Spugnardi, Milk Council president.
Claim Strike Averted
By Grocery Truckers
A threatened strike by wholesale grocery truckers today was averted, at least temporarily, while striking furniture store truck drivers were to consider a compromise proposal submitted by the State Labor Department, Both Harry Peats, Teamsters and Chauffeurs’ Local 335 secretary, and Frederick E. Schortemeier, attorney for several wholesale grocery firms, agreed that a strike had been averated at a conference yesterday with Emmett Cox, State Labor Division conciliator. They said an agreement had been reached maintaining a 45-hour work week and granting a pay increase. They said the closed shop demand would be discussed later, possibly at a conference this morning. Mr, Peats explained any agreement signed would be subject to union ratification. Mr. Schortemeier said: “We had a very satisfactory conference yesterday and made substantial progress.” He said he believed the two sides could get together on some sort of modified closed shop plan. In the furniture store strike, drivers were to vote today on the compromise proposal submitted by Arthur C. Viat, State Labor conciliator, at a conference yesterday.
Both Mr. Peats and Leo M. Rappa- | port, furniture companies’ attorney, |
declined to reveal details of the proposal. They said no conferences are scheduled, but that they are “on call” for negotiations. Mr. Peats said it probably would be “at least the first of the week” before a final settlement is reached.
