WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. (UP)
John L. Lewis today convened a
special caucus Of the Committee
for Industrial Organization peace
committee to discuss possible
means Of ending the deadlock in
negotiations for a truce with the
American Federation of Labor
committee.
Members said they expected to
review the entire status Of nego-
tiations while joint conferences
with the A. F. of l.. were recessed
for eight days.
Peace conferences between the
A. F. of L. and the C.. /. 0. were
adjourned late yesterday after the
warning factions dealocked on the
issue of which industries each
should dominate.
The stalemate came when it APP
peared the rival groups were about
to agree upon a division of indus
tiles in which each would have
crganizational jurisdiction. One
d,''egate went so far as 20 say
that 16 industries had been agreed
uron, but George M. Harrison,
chairman Of the A. F. of L. peace
committee, disputed this.

James Ramsay Macdonald, who
came from the Highlands of Scot

minister of Great Britain during
some of the most eventful years

Without warning or explana-

lengthy discussion Of his power

his faith in common law proce-
dure which grants utilities a
monopoly, provided their rates to
the consumer are fair and reason

President Roosevelt expressed
the belief yesterday that the gov
eminent - private utility issue
could be completely solved by a
return to the old English common
law means of evaluating company
property as basis for determin-
ing rates.
Under common law Mr.. Roose-
welt said, utilities should be able
to receive governmental monopol-
les in return for granting fair

He said there would b. only
one exception to the privilege of
monopoly - the constitutional
right of municipalities to distri-
butte electric current themselves
if a majority of their voters so
decide.

Final Passage May Be
Blocked, Is View
MEASURE KEYSTONE OF
ROOSEVELT PROGRAM
BY MACK JOHNSON
Copyright, 1887, United Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. (UPi
Sharp differences among house
members last night jcopardizcd
chances of final passage at the
Black-Connery minimum wage
and maximum hour bill a. the
coming special session of con-
greSS, and drastic revision appear
cd certain.
4 maneuver developed among
some house labor committee mem
bcrS to withdraw the contrOver-
Sial measure, keystone of Prcsi-
dent RooSevelt'S special session
program, from the house rules
committee where bitter southern
opposition Stymied a. last session.
The original ack-Conncry bill
passed the senate 56 to rs last
session despite cauStic criticism
from industry and organized la
Dor. Then, in an effort to get 4
bill to the house floor, the house
labor committee riddled it with
exemptions. a move that aroused
the ire of both American Fedora
ton of Labor and the Committee
for Industrial Organization.
The Senatc-approvCd bill eSta5-
liShCd q fiVc-man national labor
standards board to administer the
act with powers to fix wages not
exceeding 40 cents per hour and
maximum hours not exceeding 40
weekly.
Chairman John J. O'Connor,
d.. n. Y, Of the house rules COM
mittee, warned last night that
withdrawal of the bill from his
group for revision, might Jcop-
ardiZe passage.
Chairman Mary 7. Norton. d.,
n. j., of the house labor commit
tee, indicated, however, that she
favored revision. She said that
many industries had been de-
handing re-hcarings in view of
changes that were made after the
original bill was introduced.
Southern house members siren
uouSly opposed the measure on
the ground that it would wreck
their home industries. Speaker
William b. Bankhead, D., Ala,
and Majority Leader Sam Ray
burn, d., Tex, intend to push for
passage, however. Both are re-
turning this week and will seek a
means of eXpediting the lcgisla-
ton.
Some returning congressman
said that the current recession IN
business has drawn support away
from the bill, members fearing 1t
would be unwise to saddle indus
try with additional burdens and
regulations until the extent OF
the slump is known.
Southern Democrats are eX-
pected to renew their demands
for geographical wage differen-
tials in the new bill.
Meanwhile, Representative Ar
