 ed All Proposals

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 5.-Wil- liam Green, President of the Am erican Federation of Labor, said the AFL is waiting for the CIO to make the first overtures in any peace movement after President Roosevelt addressed message to the AF'L convention urging Am erican labor harmony.
 President Green said: There is net any immediate prospect of the AFL making peace with the CIO.
 We are in a position, waiting for suggestions from the CIO. We ne- gotiated an agreement but this agreement was vetoed by John l.. Lewis, so there is nothing for us to do but to wait for response"
 The message of the President. which was read at the AFL conven- tion yesterday, said:
 Because for more than a quar- ter of century I have had so many association of friendship with the officers of the AFL and affiliated unions, I venture to express the hope that the present convention will leave open every possible door of access to peace and progress in the affairs of Organized Labor"
 Continuing, the message said: If the leaders of Organized Labor can make and keep peace between the various opinions and factions with ;n the labor group itself, it will vastly increase the prestige of labor with the country and prevent re- action which otherwise is bound to injure the workers themselves
