Atlantic City, Sept. 2.-(AP)-Wil-
liam Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, said today
the federation would welcome back
the ten suspended CLIO unions if they
return without any conditions.
Their return, he said, would be the
first step toward reuniting the Amer
lean labor movement, divided into two
bitterly warning camps since John
Lewis started the CLIO, in November,
1885.
If the CLIO unions took this step,
and Green frankly said he doubted
they would, the next move toward
final peace would be appointment of
a Joint committee of AFL and Go
leaders to work out a detailed settle
ment.
"I recognize that there would be
many complicated problems to be
solved Green said. "The hardest Of
these probably would result from the
CLOS recognition of dual unions in
the radio and electrical and ship
building industries. Those unions
never belonged to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

ably feel like 80 cents-because
of barrage Of canned beans and

tempted holdup last night.
After successfully robbing two
small stores in the southern part

one brandishing a pistol. Instead
Of handing over the 80 cents in
his till Hurwitz reached for a
can of beans and hurled it at
the gun hand Of the bandit.
His aim was true and the gun
discharged wildly as the missile
hit it's mark. Hurwitz then
served up another quick pitch OF
canned sardines. It was strike two
and the robbers ran.
A parting shot of more beans
crashed through a plate glass win
dow worth $40, but Hurwitz was
content with his victory.
Others robbed by the two men
were Ida Laton, who runs a store
lin the 400 block E st. S. e. The
loot here was $11. The other vic
