Self-Rule Denied
To Provisional
Mine Unions
By HARRY WARD

The convention of the United
Mine Workers was on record today
as refusing selfgovernment to GER
tain provisional districts, charters
Of which were lifted during days
of financial stress. After an all
day roll call the vote was 2,991
to 1881.
The question revolved around
the demand Of certain local unions
that they be given selfgovernment
and the election Of their own Of.
ficerS, rather than continuing
under officials appointed by
President John L. Lewis and his
executive board. In announcing
the vote Mr.. Lewis said:
'Therc IL no doubt as to the
honesty Of the opinion on both
sides Of this question"
He pointed out that the grant
ing Of Socalled autonomous
rights" to the provisional districts
might result Gin the creation Of
internal political turmoil and con.
SeQuent evil effects upon the or.
ganiaztion."
The International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, one Of the
eight unions forming the COM
mittee for industrial organization,
telegraphed the convention that
it, like the other unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of
Labor, which are advocating In
duStrial unioniSm for the mass
production industries, is opposed
to any split or division in the
labor movement. The telegram
said:
"We do not consider the pre-
motion Of the principle Of In
duStFial uniOnism as duaIism or
an opposition policy 20 the A.
+. Of L. This spirit Of loyalty
and desire to keep our move
meat intact shOwever, shonld
mot be used as . whip by the
leaders Of the A. r. Of L. and

tiOns Of the masses Of the

AuyoEH8bAOA8A 9NSWb SSANASS
A new move on the part Of the
League Of Nations to make the
United States the scapegoat for
failure Of the European nations to
impose an oil embargo against
Italy was seen in authoritative
quarters here today.
Geneva reports that the League
oil embargo committee was plan
ming to make imposition Of the
embargo conditional upon Amer
ica's willingness to commit itself
to apply an embargo was viewed
as q deliberate move, to shoulder
this country with responsibility for
failure Of the League powers to
impose the embargo.
Few Want Embargo
The League powers. with the
exception Of Great Britain and q
few others, were regarded as
neither willing nor capable Of i'm.
posing an effective oil embargo
against Italy, irrespective Of this
Governments position.
In, this connection, It was re-
called that when it appeared last
October that, this Government
might cooperate In an oil en-
barge, both France and Rumania
quickly ran out on the proposal,
France fatty refusing to partici-
pate ct that time.
The issue Is once again before
the League Of Nations ana France,
particularly, is believed to be de-
sirouS Of seeking an avenue Of
escape.
Avenue OF Escape
Officials here fully expect that
this country'S refusal 10 commit
itself will be the avenue Of escape
to which France resorts.
There are growing indications
here that Congress viii refuse to
grant President Roosevelt power
to engage In economic warfare
against foreign warning nations
and will extend the existing neu-
trality act rather than enact the
Administration bill. The League,
under Frances prompting, Is ex-
pected to Jump at this opportlIn-
ity to hold imposition Of an oil
embargo impracticable IN view Of
the American stand.
