plans today for his drive for re-elec-
ton. summoning a half dozen Demo-
cratic National Committee officials
into conference at his rambling home
above the Hudson.
Heading the delegation was Chair
man James A. Farley. accompanied
by representatives of virtually all
phases of committee activities.
On subjects that might come be-
fore the political round-table, how
ever, the Presidents associates had
nothing to say.
The conference gave him a chance,
should he desire, to-:
l. Map definite plans for his
personal participation in the cam
paign and determine to what extent
he might duplicate his 1882 coast-to-
coast tour.
2. Canvass the attitude of women
and farm voters

ments since he started his vacation

ferring with New England officials on
flood control. He expressed the belief

vention could be finished In 20 or Is

A.F.L. PEACE PLAN

FOR |NSURRECT|ON
Wisconsin Leader Asks De-
lay in Threatened Sus-
pension Order.
WOULD PERMIT c. !. O.
DRIVE AS EXPERIMENT
Wants All Charges Dismissed in
Move to Prevent Split With
in Organization.

BACKGROUND
The controversy betUeen craft
and industrial factions OF the
American Federation OF Labor came
to a head last Fall ,oith the resig-
nation OF John L. LetUis, leader OF
the industrial group, fro mthe Err
ecutipe Committee and formation OF
the Committee for Industrial Or
oanization By IL unions. DetWng
an order OF the erecutiUe council
to dissolve, the C. /. o. inaugurated
campaign to organize all iCorkers
IN the steel industry along indus
trial lines. This defiance ,0aS met
,oith threat of suspension by the
erecutipe council.
A peace proposal to avert the
threatened split in the rank Of the
American Federation of Labor was
brought to the Executive Committee
today by Harry Oil, jr., president OF
the Wisconsin Federation of Labor.
At the opening session of the COM
mittee, held to try II industrial unions
forming the Committee for Industrial
on charges Of "insurrec-
tion," Oil proposed a delay in the
threatened suspension order the COM
mittee is expected to serve on the in
surgent group.
Ohl's plan Xould permit the c. I. o.
to continue its organization drives in
the steel and rubber industries as an
experiment" Meanwhile, President
William Green would be empowered
to appoint special committee within
so days to study all phases of or
ganizational set-up within the labor
movement" and report to the 1887
convention.
The plan also recommends that all
charges against the c. I. o. unions be
dismissed and that the
Federation participate ''wholeheartedly
and completely" with the c. I. o. in
its present campaigns.
John P. Frey followed Oil at the
before the committee to pre-
sent his charges of insurrection, based
on formation Of the c. I. o. and its
present organization drive in the steel
industry.
The trial got under way with the
defendants denying the jurisdiction
Of the Executive Committee and de-
clining to put in an appearance. just
as they refused two weeks ago to
appear before the committee to ex-
plain why they had not dissolved the
c. I. O., which the committee claims
is fostering dual unionism and f1outing
the rights Of the craft unions by
the steel workers along in
dustrial lines.
John Brophy, head of the Commit
tee for industrial Organization, forma-
ton of which, together with its plan
to organize the steel workers, was
basis for the charges, was in Pitts
burgh supervising organization work
in the Pennsylvania steel mills, and
John L. Lewis, head of the United
Mine Workers and militant head of
the c. I. O., declined to appear per-
sonally or send representative.
In lieu of hearing the answer of
the defendant unions, composed of
groups In the federation organized
along industrial lines, the Executive
Committee had before it peace plea
from social welfare workers of Cath
olic, Protestant and Jewish churches,
as we'll as the one from Oil.
Oil arrived here last night to pre-
sent his plan. Meanwhile the charges
against the c. I. o. unions would be
