NAMES LEWIS
1ST PRESIDENT
k 28.Minute Ovation Given;
Convention Pledges Bridges Support.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 18 (U. P)— John L. Lewis, son of an Iowa Welsh coal miner, today was named the first president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations after a wild 28-minute demonstration at the organization's conventign here. Mr. Lewis had no opposition. His name was placed in nomination by Philip Murray, head of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, who described him as a “scholar, a fighter, a student and a gentleman.” Before Mr. Murray could reach his seat, the convention was thrown into tumult. Noisemakers had been _ distributed to the delegates a few moments before | and they flashed into i action. Murray and Sidney Hillman, preint of the Amalgamated Cloth‘Workers, were named vice DE James B. Carey, 27-year-old boss of the Electrical Work-
ers, was elected secretary-treasurer.|
Mr. Lewis sat in the rear of the atform with his wife, who looked placidly. He smiled broadly ahd, after the demonstration had tinued for 10 minutes, strode to Te center of the platform and g378 the. delegates a military salute
Fake ‘Hitler’ Booed
This was the signal for a new outburst . and delegates grabbed chairs and began pounding them on tables. One table collapsed. A delegate with a short black false mustache sought to imitate Fuehrer Hitler. He gave the Nazi salute and was booed. Acting Chairman Thomas A. Kennedy, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America, the union which Mr. Lewis heads, finally restored order 28 minutes after the tumult began and asked if there were any more nominations. “No, no, no,” roared the convention. ~ Mr. Lewis, with a grim look on his face, came to the speakers’ platform and quelled a new demonstration with a wave of his hand. ® He said his election marks “my transition from the role of an unscrupulous and tyrannical dictator to the servant of a constitutional democracy.” He paused a moment to allow laughter to subside and then bluntly reminded the delegates of their] responsibility to the workers they represent. > “Help them to meet the burdens of everyday life,” he said. | He said that Ris power stemmed from the workers and that it is a power “to be reckoned with in’ this day and in this democracy.” Mr. Lewis noted a Chicago newsaper story stating that the C. I. O. is “tottering” and said sharply: “It does not matter what people y about our organization, if the facts bely the statements.”
Praises Leadership
Earlier, the convention pledged ull support to Harry Bridges, C. I. 0. West Coast maritime leader, and
Bare Pritchett of the Timber
orkers Union. Mr. Bridges, an Australian iminigrant, who headed a left-wing revolt in the convention which Mr. Lewis crushed on ‘Wednesday, is facing deportation proceedings. Mr. Pritchett, a Canadian, has been denied re-entry into the United States. Prior to adoption of the resolution, Mr. Lewis said he wanted to thank Pacific Coast workers for such a “constructive fight” under the leadership of Mr. Bridges and Mr. Pritchett. Hurtling toward adjournment, the
* eonvention also adopted the follow-
ing resolutions: Urging creation of a maritime committee to co-ordinate activities of the C. I. O. maritime unions. Charging that the American Newspaper Guild has been subjected to a studied and ruthless attack by “huge financial interests which the Hearst newspapers represent,” and urging the C. I. O. to give “all possible aid and support to Guild aims and activities” in the organization of Hearst employees. Greeting Latin-American Federation of Labor unions. Calling on Congress to increase to five billion dollars the eight aAundred million dollar approprialion for the United States Housing ‘Authority. Instructing the executive board jo study technical unemployment. Indorsing the 30-hour work week. Denouncing “ruthless activities of she great corporations” in the South. Discrimination Charged
Accusing the U. 8S. Maritime Commission and officials of the U. S. Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation with “discriminatory practices” ‘against C. I. O. maritime unions. Approving the principle of Federal aid for schools. Congratulating the trade union movement. Unanswered as the convention prepared to adjourn, was whether C. 1. O. Chieftain John L. Lewis and his aids indorse President Roosevelt for a third term. Convention leaders blocked an attempt by an individual delegate to place the convention on record for a third term for Mr. Roosevelt and then jammed through a resolution drafted under
. Lewis’ eyes which merely approved
of the “social and humanitarian” program of ‘the New Deal, called on Mr. Roosevelt to extend it; and demanded a coalition of labor and liberal progressives to see that the objective is carried out.

‘SNIPER’ SLAYS ‘GIRL'S ESCORT
Woman Wounded in Latest Night Foray of Capital Phantom Bandit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.). —Mrs. Edna L. Brown, 40, described
of my life’—an hour spent pleading for her life with a bandit who had just slain her 60-year-old com-
panion on a deserted side road. In Georgetown Hospital, where she is being treated for a bullet wound in the thigh, Mrs. Brown gave police a description of the slayer which they hoped would lead to the capture of the “mad sniper” responsible for three shootings within a week, two of them in “lover’s lane” near here. She was positive she could identify the killer, describing him as a light-skinned egro wearing a slouch hat. Mrs. Brown said that the man stepped from the roadside in Rock Creek Park when her companion, Peter F. Murray, halted his car for a stop sign. Standing on the running board and with a revolver pointed at Mr. Murray's head, she said, he ordered them to drive to a secluded side road. There, Mrs. Brown said, Murray gave the Negro $5, but he insisted upon more and took Mr. Murray's wallet containing $10 or $20. When Mr. Murray asked for the return of his driver's license, she said, the Negro began to shoot. Mr. Murray died almost instantly from the shots fired at close range. Mrs. Brown was hit in the thigh. Police counted 11 bullets that had|p been fired at the couple. They had the same barrel markings of the two previous shootings. For an hour after Mr. Murray was killed, Mrs. Brown fold police she lay wounded on the road beside the automobile pleading that her life: be spared. Finally the lights of an approaching automobile frightened him and he fled.
