Lewis Says Corporations
Signing With A. F. of L.
Will Not Bring Peace.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 5.-John l..
Lewis. chairman of the Committee for
Industrial Organization, declared last
night there is no security as far as
economic peace is concerned" in cor
porations signing agreements with the
American Federation of Labor to avoid
recognizing the C. 10.
The workers have the moral right
and. the legal right to decide with
which organization they will identify
themselves" Lewis said 1T i'll be-
hooves corporations to attempt to DOM
mate the workers choice.
1T is not the answer in the Am
bridge. case and it is not the answer in
any instance" the labor leader added.
referring to the signing of An A. F. Of
L. contract by an Ambridge. Pa, cleo
trical manufacturing company.
Lewis spoke at the opening session
OF the C. I. o. Transport Workers
Union at Madison Square Garden be-
fore an assembly estimated at $4,000
by union spokesmen.
Kennedy for Governor.
Replying to charges made by Presi-
dent William Green at the American
Federation of Labor Convention in
Denver that he had political ambi-
tions," Lewis said:
Il do have some political ambi-
tions I don't mind telling this meet
ing what these ambitions are.
Il have ambitions to see Thomas
Kennedy become Governor of the
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania.
Kennedy, Lieutenant Governor of
Pennsylvania. secretary treasurer of
the United Mine Workers of America
which Lewis heads and a previous
speaker on the program, was cheered
at this remark.
Il have an ambition" Lewis con-
tinued, ito see the c. I. o. win the
ticket in Detroit.
Il have an ambition to see Mr.. La
Guardia reelected Mayor of New
York.
Whats more, I am reasonably GER
tain these ambitions are going to
come true"
SCOTS at Green's Statement.
Lewis scoffed at Green's statement
to the Denver convention that the A.
F. of L. would form the greatest
fighting machine in labor history to
quench the c. I. O."
DlScounting the suspension of the
c. I. o. affiliates from the A. F. of L.
as "quenching" measure, the c. I.
o. leader asked:
In what other way will they crush
the c. I. o.? Do they mean they
will resort to force? The use of fists.
OF clubs. or arms? Surely the mild
Mr.. Green is not going to declare
civil war in America.
William Green sounds to me like
7-year-old boy d flying his parents"
Lewis spoke on the eve of the latest
crisis in the threatened strike of thou
sands Of workers on vast BROOKLYN
Manhattan Transit System. where
labor friction has been acute for sew
eral weeks.
Mayor Fiorello La Guardia called a
last-minute meeting for today to avert
a strike voted by the union after ex-
tended fruitless negotiations over wage
increases which the system says it is
financially unable to give.
The Transport Workers Union,
started by secessionists from the
American Federation of Labor rapidly
gained thousands of members among
elevated, subway and surface line
workers and taxi drivers in New York,
and obtained contracts with the city's
two other large transit systems, the
Interborough and the Municipal.

CINCINNATI, October 5.-The Prot
estant Episcopal Church in the United
States approached today an important
decision on the creation of a primate
comparable to the Archbishop of Gen.

This proposal, prompted largely by
dissatisfaction over the overlapping of
duties in the present dual church lead

vital business in its fifty second tri-
ennial general convention, opening to-
morrow.

up the Office of archbishop, several
members of the House of Bishops may
seek the position. II the presiding
bishops status is not changed, Bishop
Perry, who also heads the Diocese of
Rhode Island, is considered likely to be
reelected for another six-year term,
this source declared.
Many of the approximately IT'S per-
sons constituting the House of Bishops
and the House of Clerical and Lay
Deputies are agreed that q change in
the church's administrative set-up is
necessary, but are divided over what
the change should be.

tional Council and chairman of the
Board of Domestic and Foreign Mis-
slonary Societies. There is also the
office Of president Of the National

COP. CONFERENCE
IN CHICAGO CALLED
Meeting November 5 Will
Consider Holding Mid.
Term Convention.
D the Associated Press.

D the Associated Press.
A call went out today for the Re
publican National Committee to meet
In Chicago November to consider
holding a mid-term national con-
vention before the 1886 congressional
elections.
The notice was issued from head
quarters here as reports indicated
former President Hoover, in confer
ences with party leaders, was gaining
support for the proposal which he
and others have advanced as a means
of solidifying opposition to the Roose-
welt administration.
After conference in Chicago yes
terday with Col. Frank Knox. 1896
vice presidential nominee, Hoover an
nounced they had agreed on creation
OF committee to formulate draft
of fundamental principles to be sub
mitted to general conference of
party leaders sometime in the Spring"
Met Landon Sunday.
Hoover had conferred on Sunday
with ALI M. Landon, 1896 presiden-
tlai nominee, and former Gov. Frank
o. Lowden of Illinois. Subsequently
Lowden announced they were ''in
agreement on every problem, both Of
the country and the party
Despite these indications of agree
ment among the three men who have
led the Republican party in its last
two presidential campaigns, it was
apparent the off-year unofficial con-
vention idea still would meet with
stiff opposition.
Republican congressional leaders
have shown a distinct GOODNESS. 1t
was reflected by their representatives
in the recent meeting of the National
Executive Committee, which post
poned a decision until the Chicago
meeting.
Borah Cool to Idea.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan
has not yet joined the move for e
national convention or conference,
nor hiss Senator McNary of oregon,
the party's Senate leader. Senator
Borah of Idaho, representing another
faction in the party, has been de-
cidedly cool.
Knox, in statement yesterday con-
curing in the one by Hoover called
for concise. courageous declaration
of fundamental principles around
which all elements opposed to the
policies of the New Deal could rally"
This sounded to some political OBJ
servers here as potential bid for
coalition opposition to Roosevelt forces
in 1910, but it was evident from
Hoover's statement that only Republic
ans would be asked to draft the decla-
ration of fundamental principles"
Spangler Boasts Plan.
At the recent Executive Committee
meeting here, Harrison Spangler of
Iowa was the principal booster for
the convention idea. He suggested
the fundamental principles should
be drafted in advance by a committee
representing all factions of the party,
including such men as Hoover, Lam
don, Vandenberg and Borah.
The National Committee at its Chi
cago meeting will have to consider
how such committee should be COM
posed, and whether it would be pos
sible for such group to get together
on a declaration.
Chairman Hamilton has remained
non-committal about all details. He
has disclosed, however, that he had
suggested last Spring a similar con-
ference of Republican leaders.
