SHIP STRIKERS
REJECT PLEA
OF MAYORS
Submission of Row to
Special Arbitration
Boards Spurned
International News Service

The proposal that ship owners
and unions declare a truce in the
maritime strike and settle their
controversies through arbitration
boards to be appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has been condi-
tionally rejected by the Pacific
Sailors Union, according to a tele-
gram received by Mayor Angelo
Rossi of San Francisco, today.
The proposal was made last
night by mayors representing eight
Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf ports,
attending the U. S. conference OF
mayors here, in kilograms to the
principal ship owners and unions
involved in the strike.
The telegram said that officials
of the sailors union will decline
to arbitrate until the "fundamen-
tai issues" of the strike are defined
"to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned."
Mayors to Discuss Reply
Mayor Rossi said the telegram
would be discussed at a meeting
of the West, East and Gulf Coast
mayors, later in the day in an
effort to break the deadlock
which has gripped the Pacific
Coast and some ports on the 1T
lantic and Gulf Coast for three
weeks.
The wire from the Sailors
Union of the Pacific said:
"YOur wire received request
ing both sides to arbitrate
This will inform you thai the
Sailors Union Of the Pacific is
on record and unanimously re-
affirmed it's stand tonight in a
general membership meeting of
1000 members that it cannot

cipleS involved"
1t was signed by Harry Lunde-
berg, secretary, San Francisco,
Calf.
Conferred at White House
The mayors sent their plea to
the striking seamen after Rossi
and Mayor F. H. LaGuardia OF

tary favored the arbitration board

OPPOSED TO
SUSPENSION
Would Place on Lewis
Responsibility for,
Labor Breach
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT

Dy EDV AMI d. AONNGA Il
TAMPA, Fla, Nov. II Q.N.S0.
Resolutions supporting the indus
trial union rebellion in American
Federation of Labor ranks headed
by John L. Lewis today outnum-
bered measures of opposition four
to one as the federation's annual
convention swung into it's second
day.
Eight proposals to join the sus-
pended rebels and take them back
into the A. F. of L. fold were
dropped in the federation'S reSo-
lutions committee hopper.
Frey Heads Opposition
Only two resolutions for ex-
pelling the rebels and taking puni-
tive action against the Lewis fac
ton were presented, both spon-
sored by John P. Frey, president
of the powerful metal trades de-
partment of the federation.
President William Green OF the
A. F. of L., himself headed a
strong movement against eX-
pulsion of the suspended 10 unions
of John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization.
President Green revealed to In,
ternational News Service that he
saw no way to heal the breach be-
tween the new and bumptiouS in
dustrial union movement of Lewis
and the traditionally craft-union
A. F. of L. He simply felt that ex-
pulsion would be bad strategy.
Instead of expulsion, President
Green demanded within the inner
A. F. of L. councils that the fed
Grafton convention adopt resolu.
ton approving the executive coun-
cil's suspension of the 10 Lewis
unions and let the matter stand.
Such step, Green contended,
would leave the federation free to
advise it's members truthfully that
the A. F. of L. did not throw out
the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, but rather that the
Lewis forces themselves took the
step cracking the half-century old
united front of organized labor
wide open.
Opposition Weaker
There were stubborn forces
within this convention bent on ex-
pelling the Lewis unions once and
for all, but they no longer pre-
dominated. Fiery speeches de-
nouncing the c. I. o. for treason
were tempered with the conclusion
that even now, the A. F. Of L.
would be glad to see the C. I. o.
abandon it's defiant industrial
union drive and rejoin the old
guard.
But John L. Lewis unions Of
fered no temporizing in reply.
From the offices of the United
Mine Workers in Washington. real
headquarters Of the C. I. o., came
nothing that even looked like an
olive branch. And Green, in an
exclusive interview, revealed that
he knew there would be no peace
making. A fight to the end is in
evitable, he indicated, and further
revealed that he felt the A. F. of
L. would be in a better position to
fight by failing to suspend the re-
belliouS movement. He would per-
nit no direct quotations.
Collective bargaining, heart and
soul of the labor movement in
America today, brings benefits to
