By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. August
21-A night over wage-and-hour leg
slation broke out in the American
Federation of Labor's Executive Coun-
Gil today. but Z final decision was
postponed.
The council faction favoring Fed
eral regulation of minimum wages and
maximum hours proposed resolution
assailing the House Rules Committee
for blocking a vote on the Black-Con-
merry bill
The bills opponents, however, sue
ceeded in having the resolution tabled
tho coAS~cn
from William Green, A. F. OF L. presi-
dent, on the legislative situation.
Green remained in Washington today
to make a last-minute campaign for
the wage-and-hour bills enactment.
The council is sharply divided on
the issue. The majority favors reg
ulation that would protect standards
fixed by collective bargaining, but a
strong and outspoken minority fears
Congress could and soon would fix
maximum wages and minimum hours
once 1t undertook regulation OF mini
mum wages and maximum hours.
Such regulation. opponents say, would
destroy workers freedom.
Airing Due Next October.
Confident the Black -Connery bill is
dead for this session, these opponents
said the whole issue probably would
be threshed out at the federation S
Denver convention next October.
With Green absent, the council met
only three hours, deferring any dis
cussion Of John L. Lewis c. I. O., the
big issue Of the meeting During the
two-week session, members expect to
draft plans for the federation's Au-
tumn campaign against the rival or
ganHation
The opinion preva lied, however, that
the council would continue the same
strategy adoped at the Cincinnati
meeting last May This called for
open war on all fronts without regard
for the original issue, craft versus in
dustrial unionism
To Set Up Own Craft Unions.
Where the federation finds it can
best organize the workers by setting
up single union for all the crafts
in 4 plant or industry, it proceeds
to do 50.
Long before the federation adopted
that policy. Lewis had started to in
wade the territory claimed by local
craft unions with new craft unions Of
his own.
The council at the current meeting
also will draft its report to the Denver
convention and hold . number OF
hearings on interunion disputes over
jurisdiction.
