West brilliantly opened his single
ton trump Ordinarily bad lead),
and South won with the king.
Declarer had to establish dummy's
clubs to get rid of the losing dia-
mond, and at the same time had to
preserve dummy's trumps to ruff
out two of the losing hearts.
He bagan his campaign by lead
ing q club and ducking the trick
to East. That worthy promptly
returned another trump, South win
ming with the ace. A club to the
ace was followed by a club ruff,
and now it was time to start the
hearts. A low heart lead would
have allowed East to win and draw
q third round of trumps, but South
scotched that plan by leading the
heart king.
West had to win and, since he
had no trumps, returned diamond.
South won and ruffed heart in
dummy and club in his own hand.
Dummy was entered with the last
heart ruff to cash the thirteenth
club. It didn't matter whether East
ruffed, for South could discard the
losing diamond.

Mr. Murray as a successor, although

abruptly left without saying good-by.
Then Mr.. Murray seconded the
nomination of Vice President-elect

The breach--if it were such-was
not helped by Mr.. Lewis intimation
in his speech supporting Wendell L.

Mr.. Murray, as chairman of the

Growing Hopes Held
For Peace Soon in
Labor S Ranks
Resignation of Lewis
Seen Clearing Way
For New Talks
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. "a grow
ing belief that peace between labor's
warning factions may be an i'm
mediate result of the recent election
was evident today in high circles
here of both the C. I. o. and A. F. l..
Tt was based primarily on the in
creasing conviction that C. I. o.
Chieftain John L. Lewis will make
good his prediction promise to step
aside in the event President Roose-
velt won a third term.
Leaders attending last nights
meeting of the c. I. o. Industrial
Union Council and the A. F. L. Gen.
tral Labor Union said they expected
President Roosevelt to request re-
convening of the peace negotiating
committees of the rival organiza-
tions.
Saying such program 'un-
doubtedly is in the cards" Leo
Abernathy. international president
of the Bill Posters and Distributors
Union, added he thought such a call
would come shortly after the close
or possibly during the conventions
of the two groups.

Atlantic City and the A. F. L. at
New Orleans November 19.
Lewis Stumbling Block.
Privately. leaders in both factions
say they regard Mr.. Lewis as the
chief stumbling block to peace in
the house of labor.
Throughout his career. they say,
the heavy-browed Welshman has
been an uncompromising. bulldog
battler where the issue involved a
principle so dear to his heart as that
of the vertical or industrial union
for mass production industries versus
the A. F. L. craft setup.
Peace parleys between the A. F. l..
and c. I. o. broke down two years
ago. The A. F. L. refused Mr.. Lewis
suggestions that all c. 7. o. unions
be admitted to the A. F. L. Presi-
dent William Green of the A. F. L.
and his group wanted jurisdictional
disputes settled first Each claims
about 1000 ooo members.
Many prominent in the labor
movement believe a more diplomatic
negotiator on the c. l. o. side might
be able to bring about peace and
that the No. man in the organiza-
ton, First Vice Chairman Philip
Murray, is just such a man.
Long c. I. o. Chiefs Aide.
For 80 years Mr. Murray, quiet
spoken, suave parliamentarian and
able negotiator, has been at Mr..
Lewis right hand as aide, counsellor
and close personal friend, both in
the United Mine Workers and the
G. I. o.

shaking Lewis reached an impasse

"The problem of stimulating the
