DETROIT, Nov. 21.-The
Congress of Industrial Organ
izations, in a resolution adopted
by its annual convention today,
called on President Roosevelt
ito direct that the training of
selectees and other service men
for strike breaking be imme-
diately stopped.
1T has been widely reported"
the resolution asserted, that
the U. S. Army has been giving
training in strike breaking tao
tics to draftees and other serv-
ice men in training camps.
Such training is contrary to
the intent and letter of the
Selective Service Act and a
breach of faith with labor.
This convention whole-heart-
edly denounces such a practice
and calls upon the President, as
commander in chief Of the
Army, to direct that it be i'm
mediatelv stopped.

Lewis Front as
Hearings on Plan Open
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Action by Congress to
strengthen the Presidents exist
ing power to take over defense
plants tied up by labor disputes
was indorsed today by both the
War and Navy Departments.
Testifying at the opening of Sem
ate subcommittee hearings on the
Connally bill for that purpose, Un-
dersecretary of War Patterson gave
the Army's approval to the measure.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Forrestal, scheduled to testify early
next week, told neWspapermen the
Navy also favors the bill. we do
not regard it as aimed at either
capital or labor" said the naval
Official we regard it only as an
exercise of the Governments power
to insure production Of vital de-
tense articles"
In his testimony Mr.. Patterson
indorsed as fair" the Connally bill
giving legislative sanction to the
Presidents power to take over
plants, freezing all existing open or
closed shop agreements with work
ers and creating three-man board
to adjust wages.
Chairman Connally of the sub
committee blamed labor trouble that
has impeded defense preparation on
"a few selfish labor leaders" The
great ma joritv of workers. he de-
clared. are not in sympathy with
the course of such leaders.
In opening the hearing, Senator
Connally said there seems to be "a
Lewis front in this war as we'll as
Russian, Italian and japanese
fronts.
Assails Labor Leaders.
The Nation, he said is facing "one
OF the most critical and dangerous
situations in its history"
And in times like these when the
people generally are bearing unusual
burdens OF taxation and when the
Young men of the country are going
into military service-in MANY cases
leaving profitable employment-la-
Dor as we'll as the rest of the Nation
ought to be willing to cooperate
for the national welfare the SEN
ator continued. -.,
He added his own belief that the
great majority of working men. in
clud!ng those in unions, are not in
sympathy with the actions of "a few
selfsk labor, eadess anxious to build
up theh own prestige" =
Appearing as the first witness Mr..
Patterson testified the Connally bill
would further the defense effort
and thereby promote the public in
terest"
Pointing out the Army has already
taken over two plants and the Navy
one. Mr.. Patterson said. We believe
the powers Of the President as Com
nander in Chief under the Constitu-
tion cover the taking over of a plant
where its operation is essential to
equipping the armed forces"
Supports Connally Bill.
1t would be helpful, however, he
added. to have legislation like the
Connally bill giving legislative sane
ton to the procedure and regulating
the details.
Senator Hatch. Democrat. of New
Orleans asked Mr.. Patterson to con-
slider the advisability of an amend
ment that would deprive a worker of
social security benefits If he VOL
