10 ‘CARRY BALL’ FOR LEWIS
Commends Garment Workers’ Union Leaders for Criticism Of Factional Policy and Reveals Invitation to ‘Big Four’ Rail Brotherhoods.
(Copyright, 1938,
WASHINGTON, Jan.
by United Press)
19.—William Green, American
Federation of Labor president, today blamed C. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis for collapse of recent A. F. of L.-C. 1. O. negotiations and suggested that it was time for somebody
else to “carry the ball.”
He hinted that his hope for a new peace movement de-
pended on David Dubinsky, Ladies’ Garment Workers Union president. “There will be a much bet-
ter chance for peace and for renewal of negotiations with the C. I. 0.” Mr. Green told the United Press, “if somebody else besides Lewis carries the ball. It seems for the moment that Dubinsky has taken the ball and
goal line termined.”
Still Has Hope
Apparent among C. 1. NO. a week ago when Mr. Dubinsky clashed with Mr. I.ewis on C. I. O. policies and warned that “no man
division the
has a mortgage on the labor move- |
ment.” Mr. Dubinsky's union is one of the most powerful affiliates of the C. I. O. and has a membership of about 250,000. Another C. I. O. leader, Max Zaritsky, the United Haters, Cap and Milllnery Workers, agreed with Mr. Dubinsky. Mr. Green said, however, that he had not given up hope for a settlement of the more than two-year-old labor dispute and called for solidarity and harmony in the labor movement. He revealed that the federation had issued a standing invitation to the “big four” independent railroad brotherhoods to join the A. F. of L. The brotherhoods claim 500,000 members, but always have remained independent of other labor groups.
May Renew Parleys
Mr. Green was asked whether the federation might actively seek new peace negotiations with the C. I. O. He said that that was a matter for the executive council which meets in Miami, Fla., Monday. When asked if the council, which has been voted authority to expel any or all of the 10 suspended C. I. O. unions, would exercise this power, he replied: “That is entirely a matter of speculation. Whether that will be their judgment I would not and cannot say. It is definitely something which will be discussed but it has by no means been decided that any such strong step will be taken.
A. F. of L. Council to Vote
On Japanese Boycott
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (U. P.) — The Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor will consider at its meeting in Miami next week a proposal for a world-wide boycott of Japanese goods. The suggestion was offered by Sir Walter Citrine, general secretary of the British Trades Union Congress and president of the International Federation of Trades Unions. It was referred to the A. F. of L. council after a trans-Atlantic telephone cona ema

JOAN D. PLANS HUGE PROJECT
‘Three Rockefeller Center Buildings to Cost $12,000,000; Private Work Urged. | dhotriahobiboly
| NEW YORK, Jan. 19 (U. P).— John D. Rockefeller Jr. planned to- ! day to complete Rockefeller Center | —the “City Within a City”"—by con- | structing three new buildings as
| future of American business.” ! Simultaneously, he urged expan- | sion of building by private industry { to end unemployment. (| The three new units, it was announced, will cost approximately $12,000,000 and will give 1,000,000 man-days of employment to building trades workers. They will bring to 14 the number of buildings in the center, which was planned in 1928 and which includes Radio Citq. “The practical answer to the problem of unemployment is to find jobs for men who want to work,” “In the last analysis business and industry alone can provide the jobs necessary to restore the nation's economic well-being. When relief measures extend beyond a stop-gap period they inevitably tend to destroy the self-respect and the initiative of the men and women dependent on them. “Constructive programs for revitalizing the economic life of America are today being widely discussed.
Hopes for Action
Let us hope that these discussions will be transplanted into early action. There is firm ground for the belief that a generous extension of production programs, with an adequate wage scale and a fair return on the capital invested, will not outrun a steadily developing demand. “Idle capital means idle labor. I believe that if capital and labor will face the future confidently. and unafraid and will move forward together, they will find the nation ready and willing to back them. As a concrete expression of this confidence we are proceeding forthwith to the agmpletion of the Rockefeller Center development.”

Statement
President's Refusal to Clarity Puzzles Clapper
Holding Firm Declaration May Be Demogoguery, Writer Hears.
By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer ASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Scme 150 newspapermen and women crowded into President Roosevelt's office for the regular Tuesday
afternoon press conference.
Their business is to find out as much as they can about what Roosevelt is doing and thinking of doing, or not doing. A further part of their business is to report what they. learn to their newspapers and
possibly explain the meaning of this information insofar as they can. This group was interested yesterday in finding out more clearly what the President meant when last Friday he told the conference that all holding companies in all lines of business ought to be abolished. Although he was pressed for clarifying details, he offered none except to cite banking ‘holding companies as an illustration and" to explain that he did not mean to include investment trusts which exercised no* voting control.
un n n
S2 vesterday the correspondents asked the President to clarify his statement. That, he declined to do. He said that if he attempted to give a dictionary definition, reporters would pick out illustrations depending upon what papers they wrote for. The implication was that he could not risk elaborating his remarks because the reporters would distort them. This left reporters more puzzled than ever, and there was considerable discussion among them afterward as to what Roosevelt meant. Some thought he wanted to pull back on his first statement, and that he really did not seek abolition of all holding companies In null Industries, but. that ee

couldn’t quite bring himself to say so frankly, Others thought he was standing pat and preparing to go down the line, but that he didn’t want to emphasize it too much at the moment, when he was holding a Series of business conferences. Whatever his intentions, he diverted the questions by throwing a couple of rocks at the press. I still don’t know whether he meant literally what he said last Friday or not. His advisers are equally mystified. They are as much divided as the correspondents, Now if they don’t know what the policy is, there's reason, and it isn't bad reporting either. y % ND it is just possible that the press has a complaint, a purely theoretical one. Some of Roosevelt's left-wing advisers, when asked why at a time when the President is trying to get business to work with him he continues to make disturbing statements which can have only the effect of frightening businessmen, reply that he is trying to create a public mood. They say he is trying to tell the anti-Wall Street public that he isn't being taken into camp by big business and that he is still fighting the people's battle. As they put it, he has to engage in a certain amount of | demagoguery. He does that through the press.

But Branch Bobbitt, like so many other independent prefers Luckies...
T AUCTIONS ih my warehouse in Farmville, North Carolina,” says Mr. Branch Bobbitt, ‘the higher the tobacco sells for, the better my profits. So I'm always glad to see Lucky Strike buyers in there bidding. They know ‘what they want and they'll keep bidding right up until they get it. “Well=in a cigarette = it's the tobacco that counts. I know tobacco and 1 know what tobacco is in what cigarettes. So that's one
reason I've smoked Luckies for 5 or 6 years.” Mt. Bobbitt tepresents the “aris tocracy” of tobacco experts. He judges the tobacco that the growers grow. He'simpartial, not connected with any cigarette manufacturer. Many other experts agree with Mt. Bobbitt. Sworn records show that, among independent tobacco experts, Luckies have twice as many exclusive smokers as have all the
other cigarettes combined,
