Lewis Seen Pointing
70 Elections Rather
Than | abor Peace
Campaign Results
Viewed as Gauge
orc. l. o. Strength
~ the Associated Press.

~ sAV MoSVSAasO0 . ASS1-
Despite John L.. Lewis restate-
ment of his ideas for labor peace,
associates in the c. I. o. expressed
the belief today that his 1910 plans
centered on the presidential cam
paign rather than union with the
American Federation of Labor.
The boss of the c. I. O., the
United Mine Workers and Labors
Non-Partisan League is known to
be vitally interested In political and
economic issues wrapped up in the
party platforms - taxes, domestic
economy, foreign policy, and unem-
ployment relief.
His proposal. which Mr.. Lewis
said would result in immediate labor
peace, was made Saturday, embody-
ing the suggestion that the c. I. o.
and the A. F. l.. vote in convention
March Is on the question:
Resolved, that the C. I. o. and
all of its units and all of its mem
bership this day became a part of
the, A. F. L. ="
The response of William Green,
A. F. L. president, was that Mr..
Lewis should make any serious
proposals" to the joint A. F.. L.
G. l.. o. Peace Committee created
early in 1899. The committee has
been quiescent lately.
Previous Proposals Turned Down.
"A. F. L. leaders turned down
similar proposals from Mr.. Lewis
previously on the ground that con-
fiicts between rival unions in
the same fleld-such as maritime
workers, transport workers, electrical
workers and lumber workers-first
should be ironed out at the con-
ference table by mergers or by agree
ments over jurisdiction.
As result, there was little ex-
pectation in Washington that Mr..
Lewis suggestion would bring i'm
mediate results.
In the political field, the c. I. o.
leader has behind him an ample
treasury and a considerable labor
union following with which to test
his known theory that political &C
tion on the years big national ques-
tions is more important right now
than an agreement on labor peace.
Test Of Strength.
Mr.. Lewis participation in the
campaign on a large scale probably
will determine whether he can de-
liver q labor vote of decisive pro-
portions.
He predicted at recent conven-
tion Of the United Mine Workers
that President Roosevelt was headed
for "ignominious defeat" If he ran
for q third term.
Within the Lewis organization
some men forecast that the c. I. o.
rank and file would support Mr..
Roosevelt for third term. Even in
the miners convention there was
vocal support for the President.
The A. F. LIS Machinist Union has
contended Mr.. Lewis could not de-
liver the vote of his own union, let
alone the vote of the labor move

Reed Painter, "a, residing on the
Santschi farm two miles south of

around the tractor which slipped into
gear with the motor running. He

Although following the usual Gus
