There is much curiosity here as

A. F. of L. leaders it ranks next to the question of what congress will do. Off-the-record opinion here is that it would be sensible for the A. F, of L. to tell congress plainly what new labor .laws it ‘is willing to accept without protest. But instead the executive council seems hell-bent to go ahead with its old policy of condemning every new legislative proposal aimed af the privileges of labor unions, Like Poker Game . One leader explained it this way: “It’s like a poker game. Our hole card is opposition. If we give that up we lose. All we can do is to oppose even the mildest form of anti-union legislation, because we know that could lead-into something more rigorous.” So the A. FP. of L. council condemns all legislation, as probably leading to more, rather than less, industrial turmoil. It promises to give more detailed analysis later to the -speeific proposals before congress. There are 156 men on this council. And they say they speak for about seven million A. F, of L. members when they pledge industrial peace. Among

the seven million are Mr. Lewis’
