A. F. of |. OPENS HOT ATTACK
UPON LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

DENVER, Oct. 13. CUP)-The
American Federation of Labor
opened a smashing attack on the
National Labor Relations board to-
day when its resolutions committee
demanded congressional action to
end the "usurped authority" of the
federal agency.
The convention was given the
resolutions committee report on the
labor board shortly after it had
rejected a conditional peace con-
ference proposal from the rival
CIO unions headed by John L.
Lewis as "insincere and in bad
faith"
William Greeny president of the
AFL, countered the conditional
CIO offer with a proposal to sit
down around the conference table
with no strings attached" and at
tempt to end the warfare in labor
ranks.
The convention unanimously ap-
proved a demand for President

been welcome additions to the fire

not confusion Of tongues and of

CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
We do not concede that to oppose
special session at this time is to
indicate unfriendliness toward DEM
ocracy. We are frankly skeptical
as to whether the American people
support the whole Roosevelt pro-
gram with, quite the unanimity he
thinks they do. We would prefer
the opinion of some unprejudiced
observer to that of the president
himself. for it is commonplace
knowledge that only favorable COM
