A. F. of L. Nears Showdown on Lewis Issue

ers back into the ‘A. F. of L. was | ready for submission to the federa- | tion's council, but several obstacles

settlement,

The council, if it chooses, can decide the basis on which the miners will be reafiliated, but details may still remain which could postpone the reaffiliattion beyond the time of the council's adjournment next week,

Has Own Terms

For one thing, there is no certainty that Mr. Lewis is prepared to meet, the A, F. of L.'s conditions. He has laid down his own. terms— | readmission “as is"—and now has the A. F. of L. in a position, of |. agreeing to his plan or offering an | acceptable substitute, Mr, Green declined to discuss the tenor of the Lewis reply. He told reporters: “If the negotiations reach | the point of the miners coming back, we will work out the agree-| ment through conferences and un-! derstandings.” One obstacle waa the opposition | of the Progressive Mine Workers union, which contends the charter

. ht was granted in 1938 after the!

United Mine Workers secession gives it exclusive jurisdiction over the organization of miriers,

Back Up Position

John Marchiando, president of the | Progressives; Felix Goodnick, execu- |

tive board member, and C. OC. Dreman, counsel, were here to press their argument before the council. The Progressives have a member- | ship ‘of some 35,000, mostly in Iliinois and Indiana. The numerical

superiority of Mr. Lewis’ U M, W.|

i= recognized as a compelling factor by some council members and the

Marchiapdo union may find itself | brushed aside or invited to rejoin | the 'U. M. W. from which it sprung. |

Another obstacle is the United | Mine Workers district 50 union, the catch-all unit whos jurisdiction

overlaps that of certain A. F. of L.'

affiliates. Mr. Lewis has proposed that the status of district 50 be negotiated after U. M. W. is reaffiliated, an arrangement unacceptable to some council members. Still another hurdle is the ob-! jason to.the power that Mr. Lewis. |
