c. |. 0. MAY TAKE
NEXT PEACE STEP
ActioH Is Held Possible at
Session Opening Nov.
Ia in Pittsburgh.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The next opening for proposals
to end labor's three e-year-old civil
war may come when the c. I. o.
meets at Pittsburgh November II to
organize on permanent basis.
Secretary Perkins advanced satur-
day. the Governments first specific
suggestion to close the breach be-
tween the c. I. O. and the Amer
1can Federation Of Labor. So far,
however, neither side has indicated
acceptance Of her idea for Great
Ing = 13-member commission with
full power to work out 4 solution.
Despite the refusal OF both John
L. Lewis. c. I. o. chief, and William
Green. Federation president. to dis
cuss Miss Perkins plan. advocates
OF labor peace predicted the at
tempts at conciliation would con-
tinue.
They expressed belief the next move
might be deferred until the c. I. O.
convention. Mr. Green recently said,
however. that Mr. Lewis action in
calling the meeting was 4 rebuff to
peace overtures.
Informed persons said the c. I. o.
leader and his aides took the posi-
ton that the membership of the 10
unions affiliated with the c. I. o.
was entitled to have its say in pub
lie. inasmuch As the A. F. Of L. de-
voted much Of its three-week con-
vention to discussion OF the contro-
versy.
Proposals for settlement Of the dis =.
pute, such as Miss Perkins made, pre-
sented a number OF difficulties, not the
least OF which would be the selection
of disinterested persons to serve with
the 10 representatives Of the two war
ring groups.
Some other questions raised were:
!. Would either group give trusted
and experienced representatives." as
Miss Perkins proposed, complete power
to negotiate peace?
2. Could the A. F. OF L. do 80, mas
much as its convention adjourned

RED CROSS DRIVE

Appeal Issued to Federal

Members Needed.

An appeal was issued today to Fed
eral employees and tardy subscribers
to join the Red Cross as the annual roll
call approached its close at midnight
short of its 100000 goal by nearly
$4,000 memberships.
Edgar Morris, roll call chairman, Ap-
pealed Ito Federal employees in par
ticular,' pointing out that while the
record of memberships Is ahead OF
last years, Government workers have
brought in only 47,480 enrollments so
far as compared to a total Of 81 900 in
1887.
Tabulation of 2,446 new members
over the week end placed the total en-
rollments at 75,709.

Booths are also open in downtown
banks, department stores and hotels,
and at branch banks throughout the
city. Red Cross headquarters. 1901
street NV, will remain open until
midnight.
Radio stations were to broadcast
the appeal message five times during
the day. A skit on Red Gross work
was to be presented at Trinity COL
lege. kindergarten pupils at special
exercises at John Quincy Adams
School were to exhibit posters they
prepared and demonstrate what the
Red Cross means to them.
The Farm Credit Administration
was leading all other departments on
the basis Of percentage Of employees
enrolled, with SO per cent. The Re-
construction Finance Corp. ranked
next, with rs per cent, and the United
States Housing Authority third, with
"A per cent.
Subscriptions received after special
roll call services yesterday at the Co.
lumbia Heights Christian Church,
where DR.. A. P Wilson, church pastor,
delivered special sermon and from pa

night, figured prominently in yester-
days returns. President Roosevelt was

without empowering any Of its men,
bers to settle jurisdictional problems
which inevitably would come before 4
peace conference?
3. What part would the long g-stand-
ing personal bitterness between Mr..
Green and Mr.. Lewis play in such
negotiations?
Peace discussions would involve some
form Of ALLEGATION OF industries to each
organization An obstacle which
wrecked meetings Of the two groups
last year.
The conferees would have to reckon
with the personal leaderships Of the
two rival chieftains, even though they
presumably would not participate in
the actual discussions.
The Federation convention last week
said 1t could not negotiate for peace
unless Lewis retired or was deprived"
Of his leadership. Lewis Immediately
proposed that both he and Green re-
tire. Two days later the A. F. of L. re-
elected Green by acclamation.

Members Of Huguenot Society
Hear Religious Zeal of Their
Ancestors Praised.

Preaching on Religious Freedom

Cathedral yesterday afternoon, Canon
Anson Phelps Stokes told q congre-
CATION which included many members
of the Huguenot Society, THE out
rageous attacks recently made upon
Jews and Roman Catholics in Ger
many show the vital necessity for
our maintaining and supporting re-
ligious freedom in the United States.
The Huguenots Of France, DR..
Stokes said. demanded the right to
worship God in accordance with the
dictates of conscience. but they real
lied that this freedom carried with it,
heavy responsibilities, including those
of personal character and devotion to
public welfare. Similarly, it is not
enough for us merely to insist that the
guarantees of religious freedom in our
Federal and State constitutions should
be continued We also must see to 1t
that these ideals are lived up to. 1t
is our duty to use our liberty by mani
Testing high sense of responsibility"
DR.. Stokes quoted from the First
Epistle of St. Peter. as given in the
recent Moffett translation: Live like
free men, only do not make your free
dom a pretext for misconduct. Live
like servants Of God" He also cited
the opinion of Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes: "One cannot speak of
religious liberty. with proper appre-
citation of its essential and historical
significance, without assuming the ex-
istence of a belief in supreme al
legiance to the will of God" II
Americans desire to maintain religious
freedom, he declared, I'VE must live
up to its obligations as loyal followers
of Jesus Christ"

1000 PER month, !
PLANE CAPACITY.
u. S. Could Match Reich's
Output, Administration >,
Officials Believe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
If necessary, American manufacture
ers could match Germany's huge out
put of warplanes in quantity, and ex-
ceed in quality, high administration
officials believe.
This expression was evoked by Presi-
dent Roosevelts recent announcement
that mass production OF planes was
included in the Governments current
restudy OF national defense needs.
Not the slightest indication has been
given that the administration is con-
sidering undertaking to match Ger
many's plane production. but the War
Department particularly is concerned
with knowing whether it could be done.
Germany's recent output is yard
stick. as it is accepted officially as
probably the worlds largest.
Only q Third at Present.
To match the production Of the mo-
bilized Nazi plants. officials say they
believe the United States would have
to turn out 1000 planes month. Just
now the rate is only third OF that.
though it has been stepped up ma
terially in recent months under the
stimulus of foreign orders.
The figure of 1000 monthly for Ger
many is widely accepted in military
aviation circles, rather than the esti-
mate Of 10000 year just brought
back from Europe by Bernard M.
Baruch, 1918 head of the War In
dustries Board.
A production Of 1000 planes q
month would be possible in this coun-
try. military experts say, by stand
ardizing certain types, and by turn
ing numerous factories from other work
to making engines, propellers. wings
and other parts.
Detailed plans already are on file at
the War Department, and contracts
signed, for harnessing about 10000 fac
tories to production of munitions and
war material generally in an emer-
gency.
Details Confidential.
This industrial mobilization program,
directed by Assistant Secretary Louis
johnson. presumably includes at least
some mass plane manufacture, but de-
tails are confidential.
Other nations have standardized
some types and employed mass pro-
duction, President Roosevelt said, and
he intimateq clearly an opinion that
the United States could do so as well.
despite the lack of peace-time military
control as in authoritarian Germany.
In quality, both Army and Navy
officials say they are confident Amer
ican planes are the worlds best.
Mr.. johnson declared recently that
Army planes ordered this year were
the equal. if not the superior, Of like
types in any part Of the world.

Conserving

Raleigh, Dec 1O.-Careful cutting
of holly by landowners and conser-
vative use of it by the public was urg-
ed today by State Forester ]. S. Hol-
mes, of the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development.
Mr.. Holmes pointed out that the
supply of berry-bearing holly trees is
steadily diminishing as a result of
the careless cutting or downright
slaughter of these trees in the past.
If any appreciate amount of holly is
to be preserved for use in future, the
attitude of the public as well as of
the farmers and landowners, must I'M
dergo a decided change, according to
Mr.. Holmes.
Zone thing that needs improvement
is the attitude of many people to-
wards holly and other greens grow
ing along the highways" Mr.. Holmes
said. '"They must get over the old idea
that anything that grows in the woods
or along the roadsides is public pro-
perty of free plumber. I think there
has been marked improvement here
in North Carolina the last few years
But there are still entirely too many
