LEWIS LEADS EIGHT
OF LABOR LIBERALS
Aims Two Resolutions at
Conservative Groups.
By United Press

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct Is
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers today led an
open break of liberal forces against
conservative elements with the
American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Lewis introduced two resolu-
tions, one aimed at the National
Civic Federation and the other an
other designed to shut off open-shop
advertising in the American, Fedora =
zionist.
Matthew Vol, member of the
Federation executive council and
identified with anti Communist
movements in and out of the A. F.
of L., was attacked in the first reso-
luton because he is acting president
Of the organization under fire.
Progressive labor forces have re-
garded Civic Federation activities as
generally opposed to the trade union
movement.
The Federation adopted a resolu-
ton declaring its Executive Coun-
ellis belief that present recovery
trends are unhealthy and may re-
suit in repetition of the 1929
collapse.
While employment in private
industry is stagnant and total wage
payments are advancing scarcely as
fast as the cost of living, profits
are increasing by leaps and bounds
the report stated This is a
reversal of the sound if slow recov-
cry of 1884. "

BOY, II, TRACKS
DOWN SUSPECTS
Then Leads Police Raiders
to Capture of Five
Alleged Thieves.

A generation ago, Floyd Reed,
daring Kentucky sheriff, was shot
and killed in the line of duty.
His grandson, Floyd Reed, r.
year-old grade school pupil, today
had won his first spurs as an anna
teur detective by enabling police
to capture five men suspected of
theft of canned goods from box
car.
Floyd looked out of the window of
his home, 1927 Dakota st, last night
and saw two men creep to a weed
patch. There they hid two cases of
canned goods.
Staying a half block behind the
men, Floyd traiied them to SAG w.
MorriS-st, and then called police.
Police raided the Morris-st ad-
dress and arrested William Barger
and Walter McNurney, SAG w. Nor

Determined to show the police a
thorough job Of "sleuthing," Floyd
took the officers to a box car where
the seal had been broken.
Floyd, short, stocky and very
serious. was surprised when ne was
asked if he were afraid.

the men didn't even notice me.

tective work.

ABC COERCION
DENIED BY FRY
Beer importers Not Using
Undue Influence, Says
Administrator.

Paul P Fry, state excise admin
istrator, today denied that beer i'm
porters are attempting to bring in
fuence to bear on the Alcoholic
Beverages Commission to curtail is
Suance of port of entry beer permits
to wholesalers.
The so-called monopolistic beer i'm
porter system is scheduled to end
Nov. Is, under the new state liquor
law, to be replaced by licensing of
wholesalers for beer importation.
The nine state importers, The
Times was informed, met yesterday
to discuss the new system which per-
mits the licensing of up to 100 quail
fed wholesalers.
Mr.. Fry admitted a delegation
from the importers called on him
today, but said the port of entry
permits were not discussed. He
said the conference dealt solely
with the tax the Ohio liquor COM
mission is attempting to levy on
Indiana beer brought into Ohio.
The Ohio commission now is re-
strained from collecting the tax by
temporary court order.
Several weeks ago, Mr.. Fry de-
clared that the ABC would not
hold the port of entry permits to
minimum and would issue as
many as the law allows, if ap-
plicants are qualified.
The majority of the nine firms
now holding importer permits are
expected to be among the new port
of entry holders after Nov. Is.
However, scores of wholesalers are
expected to seek the privilege hith-
erto confined to a few. Simple
mathematics point out the benefits
accruing to those obtaining port of
entry permits, if the entire number
of licenses allowed by law is not
issued.

Britain to withdraw its home

Element of the Italian-EthiO-
plan crisis, an official source
said today.
The disclosure was a sequel to a
series of conferences by which Laval
was understood to have embarked
upon a new attempt to bring the
Italian war on ETHIOPIA to a peace
full end.
No gesture to Italy could be so
attractive, perhaps, as withdrawal
OF the fighting ships sent from home
waters in the British Isles to guard
the entrances to the Mediterranean
from Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.
Reply Expected Soon
1t was understood that Laval
made his fleet request through Sir
George Clerk, British amba ssador.
after long talk with Vittorio Ger
ruti, italian ambassador, last night.
1t was said that Cerruti agreed
that a more conciliatory atmosphere
would be induced if the British
fleet concentration were reduced.
Clerk already has transmitted La

said, and British reply is expected
soon
This reply French belief is. will
say that withdrawal of the home

There was an unconf1rmed report
in Geneva that specific plan lad
been advanced for ending the Italian
war. Some sources said Laval ad-
vanced the plan to Cerruti: others
that Cerruti advanced it to Laval.
The plan was said to be:
l. Italy to halt its troops in their
present positions.
Tigre to Become State
2. Tigre province in Ethiopia to be-
made an autonomous state under an
Italian protectorate. Tigre is the
northern province, and Ras Halle
SelaSsie Gugsa, governor of most OF
it, has surrendered to Italy.
3. Italy to obtain the eastern
provinces of Ogaden and Harar.
4. Italy would agree to cession by
Britain of the port of leila, in
British Somaliland, to Ethiopia. In
return Ethiopia would permit Italy
to build a railway linking Italian
Somaliland and Eritrea.
