Miss Lewis has been frequently
listed as a member of the America
First Committee.
Asked if this were true, she re-
piled with a terse:

In describing the AFL member.
of the National Defense Mediation
Board yesterday, Murray used the
words "treachery' and treason,
charging they voted against the
UNIV closed shop although In
earlier discussions they had ap-
Iproved it.

Ivention send the 'CIO vice presi.
dents TO Washington to place then
at the disposal of the President OF
1.-THE United States and of the pres.
ident of the UNIV, to bring thi.
strike to a successful and speedy
conclusion"
Murray, however, termed the
lplan untenable.
The public might get the
idea that there was division I'm
CIO ranks on this ISSUE" he said.
Murray in his opening speech
yesterday reviewed the coal strike
situation and blamed the "employ,
ers in this case" and the nationa
defense mediation board for the
Shutdown.
An indication of the support Of
President Roosevelt and his for.

Murray first mentioned the Presi.

rose to its feet and wildly ap-

strike boldly and clearly, lambast-
ing Hillman for withdrawing the
Currier contract, inasmuch as the
lumber company has, given the
CIO a closed shop.
Spokesman for Murray tried to
soften the attack by eliminating
the name of Hillman and phrasing
the resolution merely as criticism
Of the OPM for the Currier action.
| 1t is possible that a subtle re-
buke of this kind will be the solu-
ton adopted by the delegates, who
want neither to defy Lewis nor to
criticize the Presidents defense
measures.
But no compromise had been
reached when the committee adj
journed at midnight. The men,
bers were TO meet again this
morning.
Murray controls the committee
and, in the final decision, his de-
sires will be followed.
Eve are not too badly of,
commented Miss Lewis after the
eight-hour debate. 1--WE are not
too well Oft, either"
SOMETHING HOT
Denny Lewis added:
1.-THE Murray forces know they
have caught something hot and
they are burning their fingers"
If the committee sends to the
floor a resolution eliminating the
name of Hillman, Miss Lewis will
appear before the convention with
a minority report. That will be
the signal for open firing in the
battle.
The conve tion yesterday
adopted an executive committee
report charging that 60 per cent
of the country's machinery is idle
and that only IS per cent of the
country's capacity is being used
for defense.
Five suggestions approved by
the delegates 10 speed defense

VITAL TO DEFENCE

Krzyski then referred to his re
cent conferences with the Interna
tional Labor conferences meetin,
in this country aid said:
They read the paper Sunday
(refeFriHg TO the coal strike)
and they expressed fear that
their cause was being forgot
ten and fear that they would
be let down. There Is nothing
so essential to crush Hitler and
make the world safe again as
the production of coal.
Let us not forget what hap
pened In France. They quar-
relied. They sat down. They
tried to get theirs while the
getting was good. It's q tragic
fact.
SEND THEM WORD
Let US send word to those
others fighting for democracy
that In this great emergency
we are willing for the time
being to sehlve some OF the
things we are seeking, some of
the things that are our right.
I'VE are ready to say we will
produce, produce and produce
until the world Is safe for all
Of u.s."
The tumultuous reception OF
the resolution backing the Presi-
dents foreign policy came as the
White House in Washington re-
ported that last night Mr.. Roose-
velt had dispatched two commune
cations to Go President Philip
presumably containing
new suggestions for the solution OF
the United Mine Workers defense
coal strike.

Arriving in New York after re-

that developments do not make

Fairless, who was accompanied
to New York by Eugene C. Grace.

of the miners now employed IN

EFFECT ON RIVALRY

\ what effect the krzySki appeal
might have on the approaching
struggle between the convention
forces Of Hillman and Lewis, who
are at each others threats over
the Currier matter, was not i'm.
mediately clear.
Lewis holds that in taking away
the housing contract from Cur
rier. who employs Go labor, Hill
man slapped his own union in the
face to keep peace with the AFL,
which objected to Curriers' pre-
fabrication style of house building.

Pair Of English Park Cattle
Obtained by Zoo in Trade

The Zoo, which now boasts one
Of the most complete collections of
wild cattle in the world. yesterday
received two important additions
a pair of English park cattle, al
most unknown in this country.
The cattle. bred by a few families
of English landowners in pure
strain for more than 1000 years,
are the closest surviving relatives
to the aurochs, the now extinct
European bison.
To the layman the cattle might
resemble some ordinary form of
domestic stock. They have white
coats and black noses. The bull,
however, bears a resemblance to
the American buffalo, a distant an
cestor and to the fighting bulls
bred in Spain for the ring.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, March 22.-Continu-
ing a decline which has been in
progress for three sessions, wheat
prices dropped almost cent a
bushel again today in prolongation
of the markets reaction from the
1941 peaks reached at midweek.
Selling, while not on large scale,
was mixture of profit taking and
liquidation inspired by reports of
loan wheat redemptions. Some of
the pressure was attributed to hedg-
ing of newly marketed wheat. How
ever, traders said supplies appeared
to be we'll taken by commercial in
terests and mills although there
were no reports of any large scale
-four business.
Kansas City reports said shipping
inquiry had diminished as result
of soft wheat mills in wide area
being able to replenish stocks by
taking redeemed loan grain. One
Missouri elevator was reported to
have taken 125,0O0 bushels of soft
red winter. Some traders expressed
belief, however, that the decline of
the past few days may tend to
check country selling of free wheat
and redemptions.
The increased movement, as indi-
Gated by larger carlot receipts at
terminal and subterminal markets
this week, did not fully reflect oper-
ations in view of large-scale truck
ing in some localities, traders said.
Corn and oats prices were about
steady, but rye sagged with wheat.
Traders said a letup in country Of
ferings of corn helped to strengthen
that market. Reports that some
Government corn had been sold
could not be confirmed, but cash
and elevator interests were under
stood to have sold considerable
quantities of futures, presumably
against purchases of actual grain.
At II am. wheat was 1s-l4 lower
compared with yesterdays finish;
May, 81; July, 84ss, and corn was
14-12 higher, May, "a; July, 644.
