and the effects of such a drive on
the prospects for labor peace"
Meeting Tomorrow.
Edward j. Harding, managing di-
rector OF the contractors group,
said the labor management meeting,
which starts tomorrow. would seek
to establish "a permanent means
whereby disputes may be avoided or
quickly and amicably settle with
out delay to projects under con-
struction."
The A. F. L. Executive Council
is here for two weeks session,
during which it will discuss an eight
point program and draft report
for the Federation's convention in
October.
The first point on the program is
labor peace" of which an A. F. l..
statement said:
Peace negotiations between the
A. F. l.. and the c. I. o. committees
appointed at the request of President
Roosevelt are now in a state of sus-
pension. They were postponed at
the request of John L. Lewis (head
of the c. 1. o., who informed the
American Federation of Labor Com
mlttee he would notify it when his
committee was ready to meet again.
No word has come to the American
Federation of Labor Committe from
Mr.. Lewis since then except his
public pronouncement that peace is
impossible"
Other Ma jor Topics.
Among otner major topics on the
councils program are a study OF
legislative records of members of
Congress and Endorsement of those
worthy of labor's support; a study
OF what the A. F.. l.. statement de-
scribes as symptoms of a reaction
airy wave resulting from public an
tipathy to the c. I. O., and how this
has affected labor legislation
in the States and in Congress" and
a study Of methods for restoring en-
ployment in private industry and for
overhauling the national relief set
