United Press Stan Corresp0ndent)
 Denver, Oct. l3 - tuP) - The American Federation of Labor coun- tered Committee for Industrial Organization peace proposal today by offering to sit In conference and discuss settlement of the labor war with no strings attached"
 Flatly rejecting the peace condi- tons of the John L, Lewis faction as unfair and insincere," federation leaders said they were ready to ne- gotiate without conditions" for q peaceful conclusion of the conflict which has divided union workers between the A. r. of L. craft unions and the o. I. o. industrial unions
 William Green, president of the federation, was understood to Do. lieVe that the offer of the Lewis fac- tion--despite the unacceptable con- ditions ttaehed-might eventually lead to progress toward c settle- ment.
 The offer from the c, I. o. war council at Atlantic City for each side to name committee of 100 to negotiate, was received with Sus- picion ct almost the hour that the federation's b7th annual convention voted, 26,279 to i,246, 10 bar Charles P. Howard. c. I. Q. secretary and president of the International Typo graphical Union, from his seat at tho convention.
 The eviction of Howard came while ho was enroute to Atlantic City to attend the rival organizat s council. Howard asserted in advance of the action that he was confident that he would be barred and that tho action of the convention de- stroyed the lagt veStige of demo- cratic" rule in tho A. r. of L.
 The convention was in the midst of an attack, on the national labor relations boards alleged faVoriteiSm for the O. I. o. The resolutions committee, headed by Matthew Woll resumes It's criticism of the board today In on effort to improve the position of craft unions-which dominate the A. r. of L.--in future disputes with the c. I. o, before the federal agency,
 "Tho c. I. o. proposal obviously is unfair and inSincere," Green said "It would require that the fedora ton join tho 0. I, o. in the first place. Then 1t would be necessary to accept the Lewis minority setur and send committee of 100 to ne- gotiato on that basis.
 "The A. P. of l.. committee stands ready to meet with similar com. mitteo from the c. I. o. The dooi for reconciliation remains open"
 Other members Of the executive council said that the c. l. o. Sug' gestion was c trick" to put tht blame for the labor war on tht A. F. Of l..
 Green said that the o. I. o. of' fer would Do referred to the execu' tive council, which has been giver power 10 deal With such matters but that no formal reply would b. made at present.
