IGNORING A. FL.
Lewis Broadens Campaign
as Green Threatens SuS-
pension of Members.

By the Associated Press.
Forces of John l.. Lewis broadened
their industrial unionization campaign
today in the face of new American
Federation of Labor threat against
members who support Lewis Commit
tee for Industrial Organization.
Cheered by the agreement with the
Carnegie Illinois Steel Corp. Lewis
associates declared he would seek
eventually to unionize all industrial
workers in the United States
Lewis himself. hack in Washington,
was silent on his next move and on
the demand of the federation that
its participating organizations re-
pledge their loyalty.
c. I. o. Unions Suspended.
Unions backing his Committee for
Industrial Organization were suspend
ed last year from the A. F. of L.. whose
officers favor organization of workers
by separate crafts instead of by en-
tire industries.
While President William Green was
en- route here from his Ohio homo
the federation made public letter
to all member groups declaring the
time has come Ito draw q line and
make a distinction between the Amer
ican Federation of Labor and the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton"
The letter, signed by Green, said
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization had refused to arrange for o
meeting with federation representa-
tives to try to adjust their dispute and
reunite organized labor
The only possible Interpretation Of
this refusal Green said. is that the
c. I. o. is persisting in trying ito
impose the substitution of minority
rule for majority control within the
organized labor movement"
Lewis declares. on the other hand,
that the rank and file of federation
members are behind him.
Only One Attitude Seen.
"In the issue which has arisen
Green continued, there can be but
one attitude which all can assume as
members of the A. F. of L.; it must be
uncompromising support Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
THE Executive Council cannot and
will not tolerate the extension of sup
port to any organization classified by
the council and a convention Of the
A. F. of L. as being a dual and rival
organization.
TT is the firm determination of the
council to take such action as the facts
may justify in order to protect and
preserve the highest and best interests
of the A. F. of T."
The Lewis organization nevertheless
was going ahead with its efforts to set
up industry-wide unions in disregard
Of the federation's policies.
Among Lewis early endeavors, hin
supporters predicted, would be cam.
paigns to organize employees in the
oil and textile industries.
He also is expected to continue
membership drives in steel and auto
factories in the hope of winning 1o(
per cent representation for negotia.
tions with employers.
| Green, before leaving Coshocton
Ohio, for Washington, said two factors
contributed to the Carnegie-1llinoi,
agreement with the Lewis union
Recognition of the economic necessity
for a 40-hour week and Government
pressure for 40-hour week to permit
steel firms to meet the Walsh-Healey
act governing contracts for supplying
the Navy with steel for new ships.
