Leagues Ask for Confer
enCe: Demand Withdrawal
of UItimatum.

BIZ United Press
MONTREAL, Dec. 3.-The trou-
e-making universal draft question
was back in the hands of the major
leagues today when the delegates to
the convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Professional Baseball
Leagues gathered to hear an adj
dress by Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands.
The five modified-draft loops-In-
ternational, American Association,
Pacific Coast, Western and Three-I
announced after a joint session
Tuesday that they were ready to
reopen the universal question with
the majors.
The leagues adopted a resolution
to place the solution Of the prob
lem in the hands Of a committee
that would deal directly with a
similar major league group.
The resolution stipulated, how
ever, that the minor league commit
tee should not consider the draft
issue until the majors withdraw
their recent threat to sever relations
with the non-universal draft
leagues. The majors were given fif-
teen days to answer.
The minor committee will include
three members from each of the
three Glass AA leagues, two mem
bers from the Western League and
one member from the Three-I
League.
Election of officers and appoint
rent Of committees was scheduled
for today.
