A. F. Of |. Leaders
Differ on Outlook
For Labor Peace
Meony Sees Possibility
If Murroy Isn't Supine';; !;
Green Is Not Hopeful
b. the Associated Press.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 23.-A
high-ranking official of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor asserted to-
day that if Philip Murray, new
president of the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations. "has any domi-
nance" he should find no difficulty
in accepting peace terms preferred
by the A. F. of L.
George Meany, A. F. of l.. secretary
treasurer, declared that Mr.. Murray
was a member of the C. I. o. COM
mittee which agreed to peace settle
ment terms of the A. F. Of L, in 1887
and that "those terms remain the
same today"
IF Murray is not supine, if he has
any dominance, I don't see why he
should have any difficulty recogniz-
ing the justice of our terms, since
he approved them once" Mr. Meany
said.
A. F. of L. President William
Green. however expected no A. F.
Of L.-C. I. o. peace as result of
Mr.. Murrays presidency.
IF Murray were a free man with
a free hand to act" Green said, I'VE
might get somewhere, but he is not
free and he has not free hands"
The A. F. of L. president said that
while he himself did not intend to
communicate with the new C. 1. o.
chieftain, an A. F.. of L. committee
undoubtedly" would get in touch
with the c. I. o. after the close of
the convention here.
Characterizing as impossible" the
peace overtures of John L. Lewis,
whom Mr. Murray succeeded as head
of the C. I. o. yesterday, Mr.. Meany
asserted that I'VE contended in 1887
and still contend that our way is the
best plan.
First, sign an armistice. Then
the nine A. F. of l.. unions which
left us to join the c. I. o. would be
assured that they would absorb
those unions we had set up in their
field.
I'VE would have jurisdictional
problems, requiring maybe six weeks
to six months to settle, between per-
haps 20 A. F. of L. unions and 20 in
the C. I. o. When these were. set
tied, we'd take all the C. I. o. unions
into the A. F. of L."

entrance to the restaurant, under

of metal tubing was blown through
a window.

ing of the building several years
ago. Mr.. Stouffer was witness
against John E. MCGEE and Don
A. Campbell, former Cleveland
labor union offlcials now serving
Ohio penitentiary terms for e.
torting $1,000 from Mr.. Stouffer
under threats of halting the re-
modelling.

and Immediately asked police
