A. F. Of |. Council
Gathers 10 Consider
Peace With e. |. 0.
Wagner Act Amendments
And Textile Union
Also to Be Discussed
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 30.-Problems
of policy and strategy affecting
Wagner Act amendments. relations
with the rival C. I. o. and the re-
vival of the United Textile Workers
Union, once expelled as a rebel"
confronted the American Federation
of Labor executive council at the
opening of its winter meeting today
Council members who have not
wrestled with the C. I. O.-A. F. L.
split since the Federation's con-
vention in Houston, Tex, last Octo-
ber are certain to get a chance to
explore again the prospects for
peace.
William Green, the Federation
president, will give the council his
report on developments in labor's
civil war in the past three months.
1t will cover C. I. O.'s first constitu-
tional convention in November and
subsequent efforts, including those
of Secretary of Labor Perkins. to
bring the two warning factions back
to the peace conference table.
Believed More Receptive.
Mr.. Green indicated his report
would show the C. I. o. was now
more receptive" toward unity and
peace suggestions, although he ex-
planned, in response to a question,
that he had received no definite
direct overtures for a renewal of
negotiations.
Submission of his report may re-
open the peace policy controversy
which high-lighted the Houston
convention and brought Daniel j.
Tobin, a council member and head
Of the powerful Teamsters' Union,
into the limelight as the leading ad-
vocate of immediate unity confer
ences.
Mr.. Tobin is here for the council
session, but said his plans would
remain undisclosed until he had
talked with Mr.. Green and heard
his report.
A question Of ranking importance
before the council will be the Fed
erations attitude on offering A. F.
of L. affiliation to Homer Martin
and his following in CT. O.'s United
Auto Workers Union.
Mr.. Martin recently split with
the John L. Lewis organization after
c. I. o. upheld Mr.. Martins suspen-
sion as president of the Auto Work
ers' Union.
Originally A. F. of L. Group.
Mr.. Green has been represented
by some sources in the council as
favoring new organization venture
into the auto industry. The A. F. of
L. originally organized the U. A. w.,
but under Mr.. Martins leadership
it swung over to the c. I. O. after
the labor split.
The council, Mr. Green said, will
review the whole congressional legis-
lative situation and determine the
policy to be pursued in obtaining en-
actment of amendments to the
/ Wagner Act.

By Eleanor Bare

Congressman Lesinski introduced a.
bill which would cancel an order for
depOrnti ton Of Baron Carl Won Mauch-
euheim and his wife TO Germany, where
the baron is under sentence OF death
for avoiding military sentence and the
baroness, as an accessory TO the crime,
is expected to serve long prison sen

Baron Won Mauchenheim, who is en-
plOyed by the Ford Motor Company as
a mechanical engineer, testified before
the House immigration committee, of
which Congressman Lesinski is a men,
der, last week, stating that he fled
military CONSUMPTION in 1898 and en-
tered the United States with his wife
cl; visitors visas.
The bill has been reported out of the
committee and is pending for action
10y the House.
; The House of Representatives passed
the bill increasing clerk hire for con-
gressiOnal members last week by "a
standing vote of 231 to 80. This came
as more or less of a surprise around
the Hill, for the bill has been intro
duced to no avail for the past several
sessions. However, it has yet 10 be
passed by the Senate and approved by
the president.
Congressman Lesinski was one OF
only 80 people on Capitol Hill, and the
only Michigan member, who received
an invitation from the British embassy

given in honor of their majesties, the
King and Queen of England, when
they visit Washington. Although social

due homage should be given If the
King OF England brings with him the
war debt.
The controversy over President
ROOsevelt's praise for Argentine beef
shifted to the House floor last week,
with Ii members denOuncing it and
two of them offering legislation affect
ing the issue.
The criticism came from both sides
of the aisle, Rep. Harry b. Coffee,
tack from the ma jOrity side with an
assertion that the president is attempt
ing to force the Senate TO ratify the
Argentine sanitation pact, which
would permit the shipment Of fresh
and chilled beef and thereby threaten
this country with an outbreak Of hoOf
and mouth disease"
Action has been delayed in the
House on the wage-hOur act amend
ments to give the farm bloc, who have
been opposing the legislation, TO study
it further.
Chairman Mary L. Norton, or the
Labor committee, and author of the
amendments, stated that if additional
time for study was given. much of the
opposition would disappear. She denied
that the measure would injure the far
mer, asserting that farm operations
are entirely exempted.
