Pressure Eased

Senate Votes Down Proposal | §

To End Filibuster, 51 to 37.

GLASS LEADS DEBATE.

NLRB Attacked as Cause Of Popular Distrust Of Labor.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U. P.).—Senate filibusters led by Senator Glass (D. W. Va.) today smashed an attempt to limit debate on the Wagner-VanNuys Antilynching Bill and predicted that the controversial measure

soon would be shelved. Senators Glass and Connally (D. | Tex.) formed an oratorical spearhead for a combination of Republic- | an and Democratic forces that de-! feated a proposal to invoke the Senate's rarely applied “gag” or cloture | rule. Senator Glass denounced the | bill as “sinister and unconstitution- | zl.” The vote was 51 against cloture | and 37 for cloture, far short of the | two-thirds required to invoke the |

rule, | Senator Neely (D. W. Va.), sponsor | of the cloture motion, led the debate | with an unusually frank description | of several lvnch murders.

End of Fight Predicted Foes of the bill predicted that | failure of the cloture attempt would | soon end the fight with a motion, | probably next week, te lay aside the bill. However, Senators Wagner |

(D. N. Y.) and VanNuys (D, Ba said they would fight on. Western Senators are wavering | and many of them expressed willing- | ness to lay aside the bill to make | way. for other important legislation. Senator Schwellenbach (D. Wash.) interrupted Senator Connally, to ask: “Does the Senator from Texas contend that the fredom of debate should constitute freedom to ob-! struct?” Connally replied that there were many Senators on the floor who were eager to debate the bill, but had not had a chance. “I repudiate the contention that all friends of this bill are foes of the South,” Senator Neely cried. “We are seeking only to kill a snake | that infests the South.” Recalling the blow-torch lynching | of two Negroes in Mississippi, Sen- | ator Neely said “there is nothing | in all the history of the inquisition that could compare to it.”

| Charges Hypocrisy | In a profound silence, Senator Glass led the opposition attack on the gag rule. It was his first speech in many weeks. “I am not speaking to consume | time because I have never believed | in a filibusher,” he said. “But the | sinister nature of this bill and of (Turn to Page Three)

Howard Says He Will Ask Referendum; Dewey Seeks Labor Peace.

(Copyright, 1988, hy United Press) MIAMI, Fla. Jan. 27.—Charles P.

| Howard of Indianapolis, secretary of | for 40 years a link between

the Committee for Industrial Organization and president of the International Typographical Union, announced todav he will seek to lead the 80.000 members of his union out of the A. F. of L.

Mr. Howard said both he and his | membership were “fed up” with the |

federation to which the union has remained affiliated despite Howard's C. I. O. office. He said he will call for a nation-wide referendum “in the near future’ to ascer-

tain whether the union wishes to | join the C. I. O. | Mr. Howard spoke as new peace |

gestures by A. F. of L. President William Green and C. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis were mutually rebuffed in with little apparent hope of ending their dispute.

Dewey to See Green

° James F. Dewey, crack Lebor Department conciliator, arranged a series of talks with federation leaders here in an effort, presumably, to seek new basis for truce. Mr. Dewey said he was here only as an “observer,” but for three weeks he has been seeking to establish a formula for an armistice. Mr. Howard said the I. T. U. now is refusing to pay to the federation a special ‘1 cent per member per month assessment ordered in an effort to build up a war-chest to battle Mr. Lewis.

Charges Three A. F. of L.

Leaders Block-Peace

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (U. P) — John B. Easton, West Virginia Union Council president, today told the United Mine Workers convention that three

members of the American Federa- | tion of Labor executive council, in- |

cluding William Hutcheson of In-

dianapolis, are blocking peace with |

the Committee for Industrial Organization. Mr. Hutcheson is Carpenters Union president. Mr. Easton challenged the Federation to submit C. I. O. peace proposals to a vote of all A. F. of L. members. Mr. Easton indorsed John IL. Lewis’ new proposal, offering to lead all C. I. O. members into the A. F. of L. on Feb. 1, if ‘the Federation would charter their unions and call a convention later to arrange the details. Mr. Lewis presented an alternative that the A. F. of L. members all join the C. 1. O. under similar conditions. In Miami, Fla., President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, rejected Mr. Lewis’ plan as “the same old thing.”
