LEWIS SUMMONS
AIDES TO SESSION
c. |. O. Will Give ConSidera.
ton on Peace Proposal
on November g.

Determined to have no part OF
peace negotiations unless the Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor commits itself definitely
in advance on the issue of reinstating
10 suspended unions, John l.. Lewis.
chairman of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization. today called
meeting of his group in Pittsburgh on
November g.
At that time the committee will
give formal consideration to the peace
proposal of the Cloth Hat, Cap and
Millinery Workers Union. but pros
poets for any conciliatory action are
extremely dim. Acting on the pro-
posal. the council named a three-man
committee to negotiate with c. l. 0.
group. but refused to commit itself on
the suggested reinstatement OF the
unions in time to attend the Tampa
convention on November l6.
Little Time After Meeting.
Subsequently, Lewis called upon the
council to clarity" itself on the rein
statement issue. but William Green.
president of the council. replied there
was nothing to clarity" No c. I. o.
negotiating group ever has been
named and with virtually all the fed
Grafton officials likely to be in Florida
several days in advance OF November
l6. there will be little time after the
c. L o. meeting for any developments.
The council, which has been in
quarterly session here for the past two
weeks. expects to complete its busi-
ness today and will not meet again
until convention time. Its report to
the convention has been under dis
cussion at the present meeting and
is now in it's approved form 1t will
not be made public until submission
to the convention.
As a matter of fact, the call for
the C. l. o. meeting specified that the
principal business on hand would be
special consideration to advancing
the union organization campaigns in
the steel, rubber and automobile in
dustries
Field Executives Called.
"All regional f1eld executives Oh Tic
Steel Workers Organizing Committee
will be called into Pittsburgh for the
occasion so that the members Of the
Committee for Industrial Organization
may have first-hand reports on the
progress of the campaign"
Meanwhile. Lewis is scheduled to
spend virtually all of the next two
weeks in campaign efforts on behalf
of the Democratic ticket. Tonight he
speaks at Scranton, Pa. in company
with Gov. Earle of Pennsylvania. To-
morrow night he is scheduled in Buff
falo at a meeting sponsored by the
American Labor Party. Other ad-
dresses are scheduled in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

produce ton Of hay.
We'll, I'll tell them If they'll all
come up and pitch hay all day in the

Of hay is worth its weight in gold.
If the consumer wants to fight,
why doesn't he go to the distributor
and fight? If people like them are
going to talk here, we might as well go
home and husk our corn"
Only Hope Is Raise.
Derrick said the only hope for in
creasing supply was 47-cent a hun
dredweight raise in the minimum
prices set by the agreement and
order for the Washington market,
From a present minimum of $3O2 for
class he wants the farmer price
hoisted to s3.49, and for class 2 from
S282 to 1929.
These changes are equivalent to 4
cents a gallon, an increase of l cent
a quart in the amount paid out by
the distributor, and Washington dis
tributors have said informally that
they would pass the increase on to the
consumer.
At the same time, Derrick asked for
an increase in the percentage of milk
for which the producer can obtain
top price. This would be effected by
a change in what is known as the
farmers base
The producer is put at a tremen-
dous disadvantage by the increase in
the cost. of feed since June" Derrick
said in explaining his contention that
the farmer cannot afford to produce
for the present price the amount of
milk Washington needs.
Feed Supply Drops.
The harvest of clover and timothy
Is so per cent below what it was a
year ago. Alfalfa is rs per cent less.
Pasture is so poor that the farmer has
to buy grain, and the grain purchas-
Ing power of the milk producer is at
Ats lowest point since 1927.
Labor costs have gone up since
1888. The general agricultural index
is what it was in 1880, but the index
for the milk farmer is per cent under
1880. The butter manufacturer is get
ting 500 per cent more for his product
than he did in 1888, but the farmer
gets the same for his milk"
A survey made by the Maryland and
Virginia Association among 131 pro-
ducers showed that their grain and
feed purchases increased by 4389 per
cent during the June-September period
OF this year above the same period in
1885, Derrick said.
six Of these 131 bought hay In
1885 and rs of them bought hay in
1885," he added as he piled up testi-
mony to support his contention that
it cost the farmer too much to produce
his milk.
At the beginning of the hearing, r.
s. Scott. attorney for the Washington
Hotel and Restaurant Owners Asso-
citation, announced he would oppose
the suggested price increases.
Scott suggested that since the ques-
tion of an injunction against the op-
Grafton of the marketing agreement
and its minimum price provisions Is
under consideration in District Court
the hearing should be postponed. He
was overruled.
Issuance of the injunction depends
on Justice Oscar Luhring. who is ex-
pected to act within few days.
