Sent TO A.F. .ofL.
Conference Would Be in
Washington, DC, for
Week of Oct 25

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.,
Oct. Is. (UP)-The Commit
tee for Industrial Organiza-
tion proposed today to the
American Federation of La
Dor that committees from the war;
ring forces meet during the week
of October 25 to organize a peace
conference.
The rebel organization said it
had selected a committee of 10
members to meet with a federation
group. Washington was selected as
the site for the gathering.
The latest peace move came in
a telegram to Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the A. F.. of L., in reply to
Morrisons message last night in
which the federation tentatively ac-
cepted an earlier CIO proposal for
a peace meeting.
DENVER, Oct. Is. (UP)-George
L. Harrison, chairman of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor committee,
said today that the CIO plan for
a committee of 10 to discuss settle
ment of labor's civil war appears
to have possibilities"
Federation leaders, studying the
latest developments in preliminary
peace negotiations between the two
rival union groups, indicated feel
ing of stronger hope than at any
time since the John L. Lewis unions
rebelled.
Decision will depend on whether
impossible conditions are attached
to the offer.
But it appears to have possibili-
ties.
1.-THE main thing now is to get
together" Harrison said.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. (UP)-
The National Labor Relations board
struck back at its critics today, by
asserting that it never entertained
the hope" of satisfying both the
American Federation of Labor and
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization.
The members of the board issued
statement after an all day ses-
sion yesterday. The statement said
that the current intra- labor con-
flict tended ito obscure the funda-
mental results of the boards opera
tions under the National Labor Re-
lations Act"
A few hours earlier at the A. F.
of l.. convention in Denver John
P. Frey, head of the metal trade
department, said that he did not
see how congress can avoid" an
investigation of the board from top
to bottom. He indicated that the
federation might support any at
tempts to obtain a congressional
investiga ton.

~ AMBLING
KEPORTER

The correct Answer
Amzy Bridgers, Future Farmer
of America and Central high school
student, was attempting to work
out problem dealing with how
much profit he might expect from
20 layer hens. At the eno of his
first batch of figures he was in the
hole-and he knew that couldn't
be right according to the textbook.
SO he started again, and the second
time was a bit out of the hole.
Again he tried, and his profit SEEM
ed to grow. The third time 1t was
bigger yet. Finally, at the end OF
the period, he exploded:
Say, if I keep this up we'll all
be rich"
From conversations he has had
with various farmers, RR is inclin-
ed to think Amy was right the
first time.
Midwestern Blues
A very large parking place at
the Wailing Wall is reserved these
days for Bill Peach, who backed
his Judgment and Ohio against
John Hansen's judgment and use
on the football schedule. AS the
fans may remember, it was disas-
trous day for Ohio-and consequent
ly for Bill. It's not so much the
money, he says, as the hurt pride.
o
Hopeless Task -,
RR's deepest sympathy went out
to the ringside boxing fan who at
tempted Thursday night to roll his
own cigaret while keeping an eye
!. on the fight. About the time sue
Dcess was in his grasp, the strugglers
came around to his side
of the ring, and makin's went all
over the place. Finally the uniden-
titled borrowed a tailor made-and
enjoyed the battle in peace.
His Embarrassing Moment
Bill Lott, deputy sheriff at Cali
patria, might have been attempting
to understand the other mans view
point, but the chances are it was
just an embarrassing moment to
him. His automobile was stolen
and hadn't been recovered at last
reports.
He's In Training
Capt. w. N. Cunningham has had
wide reputation as long as RR has
known him for expressive language,
but his position as labor coordina-
tor seems to have added huge
amounts to his vocabulary. A tame
example was his statement that
relief rolls are designed to care
for only two out of the three in
the lame, limp and lazy category.
o
The Howard Sopers, who became
one last summer, were considerably
startled at the Rotary club party
Thursday night, RR hears, to hear
the Wedding March played as they
made their appearance. Seems they
had come to regard themselves as
an old married couple.
What's The Answer?-
HH was somewhat nonpluSed TO
be stopped on the Street by young
: urchin who greatly desired to en-
per his pet kitten in the Post-Press
Ppet parade Saturday, but couldn't
figure out how he was to accom-
plish it.
"You see," he explained gravely,
"he won't walk along in the par
ade, because he don't like to be
led"
well, suggested RR, why don't
you carry him?"
He'd scratch" objected the little
one.
