A. F. |. COUNCIL
MEETS HERE
TODAY
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
International News Service

Organized labor's old guard
gathered here today for its an
nual fall meeting, and to record
in its yearly report the Suspen-
sion from its ranks of a mil
lion workers who support the
new order of industrial unionism.
Technically, the occasion was
the fall quarterly meeting of the
American Federation of Labor.
The principal item on the agenda
consists of preparation of re-
port for submission to the an
nual convention later. This year,
the major subject in this report
will be that dealing with the
executive councils action in suS-
pending from the A. F. of L.
the 10 unions supporting John
L. Lewis and his Committee for
Industrial Organization.
Peace Effort Fails
For a few days, recently, there
was talk of new effort to patch
up the differences between the
craft, or A. F. Of L. forces and the
C. I. O., but that had disappeared
today. President William Green of
the Federation, recently indicated
a desire to bring the two warning
factions together, but Lewis and
other officials of the United Mine
Workers, spearhead of the C. I. o.
forces, met this with an uncom-
promising attitude.
Lewis declared that he would be
glad to go back into the A. F. of L.
when the A. F. of L. not only
agreed to take the C. I. o. unions
back into membership, but also
to carry out the very policies for
which the c. 1. o. unions were
suspended.
Thus, it appeared that the only
thing left for the executive coun-
Gil to do was draft it's report and
advise the convention delegates
formally of its action suspending
the So-called rebels. 1t may be
that the annual report prepared by
the executive council will formally
recommend that the convention
ratify the councils action, or the
report may simply set forth the
action of the council, without rec
ommendation.
Normally, some recommendation
would be made, but in the present
instance the question involved is
of such vital Importance that
Green indicated that the council
would leave the matter of ratifica-
ton entirely up to the convention.

she placed the box of glasses on the hall

And that long kiss lay, surely visible seal,

Superfluous to nod. She simply looked at
him without pretense or reserve, sunendering
again to the overpOwering sense of fatality
that had swept over her the previous day,
when she had met this man at mutual
friends cocktail party. His were exactly the
weathered, intensely male good looks that
most appealed to her. And she recognized in
him strain of suave brutality which aroused
all that was primitive in her nature.

Strange to have forgotten this was how
she really was.

as they neared the station.

They sat in silence, letting their eyes and
clasped hands speak for them.

His lips claimed hers lingeringly. A pang of
surprise moved her at the sheer, charming
sweetness of his caress, a revelation of natural,
almost naive affection. She realized that he
