T TEYWOOD BROUN has written
- an interesting article in which
he declares that while he
enjoys contract, he would
just as soon play for a nominal stake:
whereas, the game of poker must be
played for si7eable stakes because Of
the element Of blum. He maintains
quite properly that it is impossible
to bluff in a penny ante poker game.
He says that bridge has its psychic
bid, but that this Is used only TO
confuse the opponents rather than to
bluff them out Of their game or slam

LEWIS TO SOOTHE
AUT0UN|T TENSION
c. !. o. Chieftain Becomes
"Man of Hour" in Strife.
Torn Convention.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, August 27.-John L.
Lewis, drive-wheel Of the Committee
for Industrial Organization, became
today the man of the hour" at the
strife-torn convention Of the United
Automobile Workers Union.
His presence at the convention to-
day In the role Of peace-maker was
awaited even as warning unity and
"progressive' factions claimed clear
cut victories in test votes of their
strength.
Before any more vital fights occur,
however, Lewis was expected to make
an effort to soothe the tension.
A reliable source in Washington
said the C. I. O. chieftain had held
himself in readiness to attend the con-
vention if necessary" He had been
asked previously to speak.
The progressive" faction of Presi-
dent, Homer Martin won the first
skirmish Yesterday, when delegates
supported him in ruling on parlia-
mentary procedure which prevented
further minority reports by his op-
ponents.
Later, however, unity" forces
handed their rivals three setbacks on
constitutional changes proposed by the
Martin-controlled Constitutional Com
mlttee.
The delegates returned to committee
for revision proposals to change the
convention from annual to biennial
to revise the methods of calling special
conventions and to redistribute the
allotment Of delegates to locals.
Not long after David Dubinsky, presi-
dent OF the International Ladies' Gar
nent Workers Union, sounded peace
note in convention address, the rival
factions again were caucusing.
An issue in the ractional trife is the
effort of the unity" group to strip
the presidents Office Of some OF its
power and distribute it among the
VICE presidents.
Dubinsky told the delegates he hoped
the American trade union movement
would form its own labor political
party" and not rely longer upon old
parties and their broken pledges"
Turning to charges Of communism
hurled at the c. I. O., he said I'VE
have Communists in our ranks, but as
long as they work in industry they
belong in our union; as long as they
serve the union III have no quarrel
with them, although I disagree with
their principles and tactics"

CHICAGO, August PA threat
ened strike Of $4,000 workers who
operate the Nations trains faded to-
day as Federal mediators tackled the
job Of settling wage dispute.
The strike threat was precipitated
when representatives Of 86 major rail-
roads rejected the demands of the
Big Five brotherhoods for 20 per
cent wage increase.
An offer by the National Mediation
Board to seek compromise was ac-
cepted by both sides yesterday thus
forestalling a strike in the immediate
future.
A Nation wide walkout Of conduc-
tors. engineers. switchmen, trainmen
and firemen still was a possibility al
though the agreement to accept Fed
eral mediation precluded such action
for 80 days or more.
The boards offer TO mediate was re-
ceived yesterday while union officials
were considering the date for strike,
authorized by 81 per cent OF the
brotherhoods' membership in the event
negotiations with carriers failed to ef-
feet satisfactory wage agreement.
Dr. William M. Leiserson. member
Of the board, was assigned to start
hearings here tomorrow. The brother
hoods announced they would hold

differences 1t was held likely the dis
pute would be placed before President

Neither party to the dispute would be

mands for three weeks at conferences
here. The negotiations broke down
Wednesday when the committee re-
.ected the demands on the grounds
tn railroads could not stand the cost
estimated at sl1600000O annually.
Spokesman for the brotherhoods, who
contended higher living costs made a
pay hike imperative, then declared a
