Five Unions Disagree

Five were unqualifiedly against re-admission but the sixth agreed to accept the Lewis group provided it conformed with labor's no-strike pledge, and abided by certain jurisdictional lines established by the federation,

Other resolutions to be acted on later by the convention concerned labor's participation in a post-war program, separation pay for exservice men and war workers and abolition of the controversial “little steel” formula,

The delegates were told in a welcoming address by Governor Leverett Saltonstall of Massachusetts that business and labor must join hands in a plan for permanent post-war employment.

win the war now was the most important problem, he advised it must look to the future and “prepare to keep , our country a going concern in the change from war-to-peace period.” “The federal government is rightly planning jobs and useful projects,” Governor Saltonstall said. “Most of our states are planning public projects within their boundaries. but we must remember that all such schemes can be only temporary.” The governor said permanent jobs can come only from “stimulation of our present industries and the building of new ones. . ..” “Employment.” he said, “will not be permanent and there will not be sufficient for all our willing workers unless business leaders of the country and labor leaders work together, frankly, sincerely and with a common understanding.”

Experience Was Disgusting

~. Jt was a sordid, disgusting experi. ence to enter Naples and see what remained of the delightful old city which I knew a generation ago. Shortly after dawn, I had stood on a towertop in Pempeil watching our guns shelling targets only a mile or two away, to the east of Mt. Vesuvius, Then I met Lt. Gen, Mark W. Clark in Pompeli's public square and he had news that the Germans were withdrawing along the coast. 3 The general had a $10 bet that we would be in Naples by Saturday night and I, thought he was being a little optimistic, but we started for the city on the off chance that he was not. v

And so we sailed right into Naples at an average of 25 miles an hour over a road where you could not make 25 yards an hour on the previous day.

We passed through Herculaneum and Porticl, swarming suburbs south of Naples, while crowds cheered and tossed posies at us. Beyend Portici, the crowds thinned into nothingness and along Via) Regia Di Porticl, skirting the Neapolitan docks and industrial center, life was at a standstill,

Mostly Hoodlums

At the city's edge, we met groups of youngsters and roughly garbed soldiers, all armed with rifles. They explained they had been fighting the Germans and Fascists. Most of them were just young hoodlums out for the fun. We drove up Corso Garibaldi, through lanes of ruined buildings, without seeing more than a dosen people, . At the station square, we met
