Union Boycotts Urged on Committee

was a mass migration" of workers
from the AFL to the CIO. When
employers started to deal with the
CIO, they were threatened WIN
boycotts.
Davidson, himself, was criticized
for writing Chief Trial Examiner
George o. Pratt in advance OF final
hearings that case against Armour
20 Company, Omaha, was lin the
bag, and that "as far as the merits
go", he would give the Hammond
Redwood company, Eureka, Calf,
"the business or the works..
He said that the letters, which
included comments on attorneys IN
the case, "spoke for themselves"
but that he did not believe they
indicated that he was partial.
The committee hoped to complete
today its inquiry about the trial
examiners branch of the labor
board. Committee Counsel Edmund
M. Toland summoned George Bokat,
r. N. Denham, A. Bruce Hunt, and
C. w. Whittemore.
CIO officials, meanwhile, pre-
pared TO present their case for
Wagner act amendments to the
house labor committee next Tues
day.
CIO President John L. Lewis
called his staff to meeting today
to discuss hearing plans, including
presentation of the CLOS demands
for criminal penalties for employ
ers who violate the act, ban on
government contracts to violators,
and certain restrictions on the
NLRB's power to fix the appropriate
bargaining unit.
There was a possibility that the
CIO would ask the house labor
committee to postpone the hearings
briefly. Lewis will be in Columbus,
o., next week for the 50th conven-
ton of his United Mine Workers
union.

More Nazi Coal Exports
Discussed With Italy
BY the Associated prese

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 27.-German sources
indicated today DR.. Karl Clodius.
German financial expert, was dis
cussing with Italians the possibility
OF increasing German coal ship
ments to Italy.
Before the war, Italy was largely
dependent on Germany and Great
Britain for coal. Sea shipments
from both countries, particularly
Germany, were understood to have
slumped because of the blockade
and other difficulties.
High freight rates and obtaining
sufficient freight cars are problems
in getting German coal overland.
Some diplomatic circles raised the
possibility that DR.. Clodius' present
visit to Rome might be connected
with German efforts to obtain more
supplies through Italy.
Other informed sources said, how
ever, that because the national
economies Of Germany and italy
were so similar, there was little
scope for enlarging their trade, and
that Germany might obtain only q
few additional vegetables from italy.
