By JOHN c. HENRY.

Curtly announcing that they had
spent the entire session in discusslr1
procedure. conferees for the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and thc
Committee for Industrial Organlza-
ton recessed shortly before noon to-
day to resume their peace negotiations
at pm.
Thus far the efforts to fuse the Ma
tons two great rival labor factions
into a unified movement appeared
amicable as the conference chairmen
emerged from their Willard Hotel
suite together to make the brief re-
port on the mornings progress.
George Harrison. chairman Of tEe
Federation Committee, was spokesman
as he announced:
I'VE have spent the morning meet
ing in discussing procedure. The two
committees will caucus during the
luncheon recess and We will go back
into session at 2 O'Clock"
Silent OH Details.
Both Mr.. Harrison and Philip Muir
ray, c. 7. o. coT.mittee chairman.
said both committees would return
in the afternoon. but neither would
elaborate on details of procedure tina;
had been discussed or agreed on.
With high stake in the neeotis-
tions. the Roosevelt administration
remained officially silent as the con-
ferences opened, but both Secretary cf
Labor Perkins and National Labo"
Relations Board Chairman Madden
were quoted as hoping a peaceful SCI
tlement might be reached. Both tho
Department of Labor and the Labor
Relations Board have been embar-
raSSec in recent months by charges
of partiality made by both labor fac
tiOnS.
Both committees claimed themselves
without commitments as they arrived
for the conferences, but the attitude
of their parent organizations has made
it apparent. even during recent ne
eotiations for the peace meetings,
that neither group intends to retreat
far from its present antagonistic posi-
ton.
MAY Be Kept in Farley.
Each was determined. however. that
responsibility for any failure in the
discussions should not fall to their
side. a circumstance which may be
most effective in keeping the two
groups in conference until some middle
ground is reached.
The A. F. of l.. delegation arrived
first. reaching the conference room a
few minutes after 10 am. BeSeeched
by reporters. Mr.. Harrison smiled and
said his group was going into the
meeting with an open mind and We
hope to make a settlement.
Arriving about 1915 the larger
delegation of C. l. o. conferees also
was reluctant TO talk to newspaper
men. Prior to their arrival at the
hotel most of them had conferred
with John L. Lewis, c. 1. o. chief
tain. at the Offices of the United
Mine Workers in the Tower Building.
Chairman Murray echoed Mr.. Har-
risonS remark about entering the ses-

senior, was surprised by the di- vorce action, in which the formal charge was non-support. His wife charged he was able to support her and their son but refused to do so. The action was filed by William H. Neblett. McAdoo's law partner.
 T cannot understand it." he said.
 The romance between De Onate, whose various minor screen roles have been played under the name of Ralph L. Novarro, and his so- cially prominent wife. became known a few months after Senator McAdoo was divorced by Mrs. Flea nor Wilson McAdoo, daughter of the wartime president. Mrs. Mo- Adoo also sided with her divorced husband in opposition to their daughters desire to marry De Onate even if 1t meant disinheri- tance.
 At one stage of the controversy the U. s. immigration authorities entered the case. Authorities of Riverside county, California, ques- tioned De Onate's ancestry on the ground that if he were of Malayan extraction . marriage license could not be issued. However. 1t was de- termined that he was born of Spanish parents in the Philippines.
