PLEA IS Lost
Justice Black Not Partici-
pating as New Review
Is Denied
BOY FAILS TO SHOW
UP FOR WHIPPING

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. (UP)
The United States supreme court,
with Justice Hugo Black not par
ticipating, refused a review of the
75-year prison sentence imposed
on Haywood Patterson, one of the
nine negroes involved in the fam
ed ScottsbOro, Ala, assault case.
No indication was given as to
why Black did not participate in
this decision.
Popular interest had centered
in the Scottsboro case because of
the presence on the bench of JUS
tice Black, former member of the
anti-ncgro Ku kluX klan. Twice,
before Black became a member,
the court reversed Alabama state
court convictions of the nine
negro youths charged with as
Saulting two white girls.
A ruling was also expected to-
day in a new deal power case in
volving a challenge by the Duke
Power company, of the Public
Works administrations grant and
loan policy to promote municipal
electric plants. Duke asked an in
junction against a loan and grant
to Greenwood county, S. c., for
a plant on the Saluda river at
Buzzard's Roost, and is now ask
ing a further review of the case.

violated and ordered the sentence
to become effective.
The case of Gordon Huntley,
one of two defendants convicted
of violating prohibition laws af-
ter city officers raided the Vii
lage Barn filling station, was dis

Representatives of Two La
Dor Groups Jovial After
Conference
WILL RESUME WORK
DURING AFTERNOON

WASHINGTON. Oct. %. GP),
Representatives of the Committee
for Industrial Organization and
American Federation of Labor
seeking to bring peace in their
two-year war this forenoon sue
ceSSfully negotiated preliminary
barriers 20 discussions and agreed
TO meet again ar 2 p. m.
Three AT. of l.. delegates,
spokesman for 100000 organ
lied workers and ten representa-
tives of the clio. who claim to
speak for 100000 said they had
decided upon the procedure TO be
followed in their conference dur
ing the closed morning session.
The two delegations, meeting a
few blocks from the White House
separated for caucuSeS at 80
a. m.
Both sides were jOvial, reflect
ing none of the bitterness Of past
duelS.
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor
had informed his three delegates
70 labor'S peace conference that
they are bound by no prior
commitments or pledges" in their
efforts 10 reach a truce with the
committee for industrial organi-
zation.
After q secret meeting with
the three-man committee at which
the apple checked federation
president issued final instruc-
tionS, Green said his followers
earnestly hope and believe that
the negotiations can result in the
restoration of united labor
movement
CLIO. Chairman John l.. Lewis,
informed OF Green's statement,
before the preliminary session
had declined comment, but indi-
Gated he objected to its stipula-
ton that unification of Ameri-
can labor be accomplished under
the Federation'S banner.
Lewis had been demanding "a
more democratic representation"
TO discuss the issues, pressing for
a large unity meeting.
II this demand is not acceded
TO, it was generally believed he
will call the first national con-
vention of the CIO and revamp
his labor's Non-Partisan Ieague in
order to fight the federation with
even more vigor in both the eco
nomic and political arenas.
Meantime the federal govern
ment, business, and the millions
of unorganized workers whose
control is the goal of the bitter
struggle between two equally
matched factions. awaited the
outcome of today's round-table
talk.
