WILLIAM GREEN ASKED TO LEAD
 TRADE UNIONS
Lewis Suggests A. F. of L Head Take Over Indus
 trial Organizations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers chief tain who recently resigned from the Vice Presidency of the American Federation of Labor, invited William Green to step out from his office as president of the A. F. of l.. to head a drive for organization of industrial unions, as opposed to craft unions, which Lewis is now leading.
 The invitation was based on Greens recent statement to the press that he, personally, endorsed industrial union organization, but felt himself officially bound to SUD- port the craft union policy which his own organization advocated.
 Green de eclined d the invitation without comment.
 The arguments between industrial and craft unions, which have been fermenting for the past three years, came to a definite clash at the recent American Federation of Labor meet ing in Atlantic City, when Lewis pointed to the concerted action pos sible to the International Longshore- mems Association, Maritime Fedora ton, and United Mine Workers, all industrial unions, and condemned craft unions as being outmoded and medieval" Although the industrial unions showed a strong vote for re- organization of the Federation, the craft unions proved majority, and no action was taken. Lewis resig- nation followed shortly afterward.

THOROUCHFARE WIDENING IS UP,
 COUNCIL MEET
Home Grocery Corner to Be Changed for Pur~
 poses of Safety

A plan to increase traffic visibility and safety by widening the thor oughfare at the Home Grocery cor ner was the chief subject to engage the attention of the City Council at the first December meeting held in the Council chamber last night, and special meeting will be held next Friday night for further considera- ton.
 A. The proposed plan calls for round- ing of the corner of the building occupied by the Home Grocery Com pany, fronting on Willoughby Ave nue and E Street, by removal of a section 13 feet deep at the central corner and tapering to fraction of that distance on the two sides fac- ing the street. The proposed altera- jon will necessitate remodelling the entire front of the store building.
 Joe Thibodeau and John Hermle owners of the property, and their attorney, M. E. Monagle, appeared lat the Council meeting last night and presented terms of a tentative agreement for the approval of the City.
 Company's Proposal
 The Home Grocery offered to deed all land necessary for the street. widening to the City for $l 300. the Home Grocery Company to assume responsibility for the building alter ations, or under an optional agree nent, they offered to deed the land to the City upon payment of $400, the City to assume responsibility for the building alterations. The $400 was understood to represent the cost of additional land recently pur- chased at the rear of the building for an addition.
 Considerable argument concerned the time element involved in the al- iteration process, the possible use oi EZRA labor in the event that the City assumes responsibility for the alterations, and the cost of plans and specifications for the proposed build ing changes.
 Guarantee Made
 Federal relief labor would save the City an estimated $500 in the event that they assume responsible ity for the alterations, it was said but the Home Grocery Company ob- jected on the grounds that highly skilled workmen are required, and that the work might be unnecessarily delayed. These objections were with drawn upon assurance that the City would guarantee satisfactory work manship within reasonable time limit.
 It was finally agreed that the city will pay half the cost of plans and specifications for the new store front provided they do not exceed $50 and that the Home Grocery will have the plans drawn at once, and that special meeting of the City Council will be held next Friday night at which time these plans will be presented for further action.
 City Engineer Milton Lagergrer stated that the proposed street. widening plan would increase visi- bility at the corner from 70 to l2( feet.
 Inspection Is Made
 A communication from pr. w. w Council, City Health Officer, was read at the meeting. Dr. Counci stated that he had made a persona inspection of all beer parlors, res taurants and bakeries of the city accompanied by Chief of Police Roy Hoffman. A letter will be written tc each firm, Dr. Council said, and g copy furnished to the Chief of Police Continued on Page EightD
