BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Stan Correspondent

Tampa, Fla, Nov. 14 - (UP) - Major George L. Berry, the presi- dents industrial co-ordinator, in- augurated today an 1lth hour attempt to settle American Federa- ton of Labor strife by arbitration and stem the mounting demand for expulsion of the rebel unions led by John L. Lewis. At the same time, craft union leaders most bitterly opposed to the Lewis instruction were understood to be cracking down" on state and city labor council delegates in determined drive to assure sufiicient votes to revoke the charters of the 10 unions which defied the federation by join- ing Lewis committee for industrial organization, many local groups have defended the rebels.
 Metal Trades To Expel
 The craft leaders. spurred by the metal trades department action in approving Q esolution for expulsion of the insurgents, were said by well Informed sources to have sum- cient votes to achieve the outster of Lewis by the necessary two-thidsr majoity. Leaders agreed there was only an outside chance for success of arbitration efforts. But Berry, acting as a delegate and emphasiz- ing that President Roosevelt is er- tirely aloof from the battle over the c. I. o. was hopeful that some success could be achieved in efforts toward a settlement that would maintain the federation's 56 years of solidarity.
 What Berry Proposed
 "As 1t is quite apparent that con- ciliation between the contest fac- tons has failed" he said, It seems 1t would be proper in view of the serious situation that has arisen
