snoWstorm-the worst in Massa-

land in its grip, claimed 10 lives,
clogged highways, grounded planes,
paralyzed shipping and left the
region with a flood hazard.
The fall averaged a foot in depth
over most of New England, but the
accompanying northeast gale piled
up drifts feet high in some Sec

Many Auto Accidents.
More than 60 Massachusetts,

cidents were numerous.
The snowfall at Portland, Me.
was 16 inches; at Boston, 14.25;
Montpelier, VT, IA inches, and Prov

The storm came on the ami

BY JOHN C. HENRY,
Star StaH CORRESPONDENT.

NEW YORK, March 13-Peace
Committees of the A. F. of l.. and
the c. I. o. resumed negotiations
here today, hopeful Of approaching
some agreement on the foundations
Of a 15-month-old proposal by
which jurisdictional conflicts would
be worked out by joint committees,
certain industries would be spotted
for industrial organization and all
would then be embraced within the
framework of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Improving the prospects of agree
ment slightly, it was believed, was
the appeal voiced in Washington
last night by Secretary of Labor
Perkins. Although no direct COM
ment on the Secretary's plea was
made here, spokesmen for each COM
mittee have admitted receipt of
many resolutions and messages from
labor's rank and file approving cur
rent efforts on behalf of peace.
Opinions were decidedly mixed as
to the prospects Of 2 reconciliation
being effected on the basis of the
revived proposal although the sug-
gestion does possess features on
which the principal contentious of
each group might be appeased.
For instance, the provision that
certain industries would be spotted
for industrial organization could
be applied in a degree to give the
C. 1. o. leadership virtually clear
field in its fundamental objective of
organizing the mass production in
dustries. That the federation may
make greater concession in this re-
gard than it was willing to do IS
months ago is indicated from its
recent increasing application of in
dustrial principles in its own organ
izing efforts.
Two Major Conflicts.
With the C. I. o. already clearly
dominant in coal, steel, automobile,
rubber and textiles there is presum-
ably little reluctance on the part
Of the A. F. of L. to leave these free
Of craft union influence
Acceptance of the pending propo-
sition also would satisfy the de-
termination of the A. F. of L. not to
surrender its identity, imbued with
the conviction that this 58-ysar-o
name is symbolic Of the American
labor movement. The federation
leadership and its Negotiating Com
mittee made much of this point in
its rejection of last weeks c. I. O.
proposal that all labor be unified in
a new American Labor Congress.
Two other points of the pending
proposal offer the greatest obstacles:
First, that jurisdictional conflicts
be reconciled by joint committees;
Second. that the A. F. of L. Nego-
tiating Committee would consider"
recommending that the Federation
amend its constitution to prevent the

LEGION AUXILIARY
RECEIVES POPPIES
tcontinued lrom First Page,

The American Legion's first act
was the adoption of the poppy as its
memorial flower. The little red flow
er takes added significance from the
fact that it is made by the war dis
abled, working in government hos
pitfalls and in the canvalescent work
rooms maintained by the American
Legion Auxiliary.
With the remembrance of the dead,
naturally comes the thoughts of
those who did not die hut who lost
the health and strength of their
young manhood through wounds and
exposure. Many of these men are
still fighting a brave battle in the
lonely hospital beds and poverty
stricken homes. The poppy is for
them, too, and for their wives and
children. This little flower helps to
carry on the great work of rehabil-
itation and child welfare programs.
1t contributes to the welfare of the
disabled and the dependent families
of the veterans.
In remembrance of Americas he

inc that they were there taking in
the sights and witnessing the mar
vels which are on every side. Ac-
cOrding to Bill, the fair which COW
ers 1243 acres, requires one hour
and twenty minutes of steady driv-
ing to encircle the grounds. Bill also
told of his recent trip to the Caro-
linas. and the Rotary meetings and
district convention which he had the
pleasure to attend. A real Rotary
enthusiast. Bill. while not able to
attend every meeting of the Milford
Club. because of his travelling which
takes him into every state in the un-
ion, never fails to attend the Rotary
meetings in the cities where he stops
if it is at all possible to do so. A

ing in Zurich. Switzerland. and to
quote him. Il did not understand n
word they were saying. however,
that was not necessary. the CHEEKY
