Unity Action Speculated.
Among Mr.. Lewis followers there
was some speculation that instead
of entering into discussion.of labor
peace on the eve of the conven-
ton, he would await delegate action
on C. I. O.'s future policy toward
unity with the American Fedora
ton of Labor
Up to now Mr.. Lewis has declined
to be drawn into new peace confer
ences unless the A. F. of L. agrees to
his proposals that all c. I. o. unions
be taken in and chartered by the
Federation before the rivals ap-
proach the problem of settling juris-
dictional conflicts.
Well-informed labor sources said
the question of unity went deeper
than mere peace conferences. There
was involved. they said, such prob
lens as readjusting the form and
structure of the labor movement to
accommodate both craft and in
dustrial forms of unionism and
changes in leadership and policy.
Preconvention discussion also in
dicated that the c. 1. o. leadership
might bring out new formula on
which to base either unity or truce
involving mutual recognition of the
special types of unionism advocated
by labor's warning groups.
Pact Plan Withheld.
The idea of a mutual recognition
agreement supported by some joint
machinery to keep peace in Jurlsdic-
tional clashes, was advanced last
year but did not take root. Sup
porting the mutual recognition
agreement, it was learned, were some
groups of the C. I. o. concerned
more with organization in the mass
production industries than with
fighting the A. F. of L. on its craft
union grounds.
The I. L. G. w. U. Board, decid-
Ing 10 go alone as an lnQepenOeHb
union instead of affiliating with
either c. I. O. or A. F. of L., viewed
the 3-year-old labor war as one of
the reasons for the setback suffered
by the progressive and liberal
forces" in last Tuesdays general
election.
The c. I. O., through labor's Nom
Partisan League, was an active par
ticipant in the off-year election
campaign.
On the theory that the New Deal
should be preserved and expanded"
the c. I. o. threw its support to
candidates it considered liberal. On
the eve of the election. Mr.. Lewis
said President Roosevelt's pioneer
ing program of social legislation
must not be allowed to lapse or be-
come ineffective ="
The Garment Workers Union,
headed by David Dubinsky, has
campaigned for restoration of labor
peace in the past year, but Mr..
Lewis demands for a reconciliation

said, were mot feasible"

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-The wheat
market reflected higher quotations

Although there was little change
in the market situation over the

through buying in sympathy with a
/ TO 2 cents upturn at Liverpool,
where demand for cash wheat was
more active and offerings from Eu-
ropean surplus countries less lib
eral.
Export business from North Amer
lea was confined to about 4OO,OO0
to 500 900 bushels of Canadian Pa
ciflc wheat, but no domestic safes
were reported. Gables indicated the
Liverpool market has displayed a
much better tone since the cleaning
up of distressed wheat in Europe.
, Corn advanced about "a cent Tor
the sixth consecutive session, with
prices at the highest point in more
than month. Although the set
ting of the 1888 loan at 81 cents Is
4 cents less than many traders had
expected, it is believed this will
make little change in farmers SELL
ing plans.
Lighter country offerings on the
broad cash demand from shippers,
feed manufacturers and industries
helped the corn market recently
