Use of Knucks' Didn't Build

By ]. A. FOX,
Star Staff Correspondent.

DETROIT, Nov. 22.-Philip Muir
ray, 55-year-old coal miner, came
directly to the point about couple
of things that were bothering him
after he was reelected yesterday as
head of the c. I. o.
Referring to extra-convention dis
plays OF flsticuffs which have
marked the f1ve-day session, he
described them as little unfortu-
nate things" Mr.. Murray "sug-
gested' that they be terminated.
Labor unions were never builded
on the premise Of thuggery or the
use of knucks," he grimly told the
convention.
Next he passed on to what some
delegates have insisted contributed
largely to the ill-feeling that has
been exhibited, namely, the recruit
ing activities of certain unions. in
cluding the Construction Workers
Organization Committee. headed by
A. D. Lewis, brother of John l..
Lewis.
1T shall not be the purpose of
the president of this organization
to encourage jurisdictional raids
within the union" he said, mean
ingly. 1T shall be his purpose to
render every practical support he
can to every union affiliated with
the Congress of Industrial Organ
izations to increase its membership,
increase it's influence and improve
its lot. There shall be no discrimi-
nation exercised against any union
in that regard. I shall ask all of
our unions. while they give thought
to that factor, to also refrain from
indulging in other kinds of raids
upon other unions. that is, not with
out some conversation at least, at

Marshal Petoin to Meet
'Hiqh Nozi Parsonage

VICHY, Unoccupied France. Nov.
% lPy.-The announcement that
Marshal Petain is going to the Ger
man-occupied zone of France to
meet a high German personage"
was authorized today.
An authorized source would go no
further, however, than to acknoWl-
edge that there is parallel between
this journey and the trip the chief
of state made in october, 1910, to
meet Adolf Hitler.
This source said it was "rumored"
that Marshal Petain's reported trip
was arranged by Fernand de Brinon,
Vichy'S representative in Paris,
when he came here on the day that
Gen. Maxine Weygand retired as
proconsul Of French North African
possessions.
Officially, however, the govern
ment still denied that Marshal Pc
tain was contemplating such a trip.
1t was permitted to release the
report from Vichy just as the cab
met was holding its first meeting
since Gen. Weygand's s retirement. 1t
heard a report of Jacques Benoist-
Mechin on conversations in Paris
with German occupation authorities
1t was reported also that Vice Pre-
mier Admiral Jean Darlan might
leave soon for Paris
Gen. Jean Marie Bergeret. avia-
ton secretary, flew last night to
French North Africa to inspect new
defenses in that strategic area lying
west of the Italian territory now
being invaded by British desert
armies.
Rear Admiral Rene Platon. colo
nial secretary, had preceded Gen.
Bergeret on similar mission. as had
Gen. Alfonso JUN, who took over
Gen. Weygand's military command
after being released from a German
prison camp.

tempting to take workers from one
union to the other"
Standing on the fiood-lighted plat
form, the gray-haired C. l. o. presi-
dent pledged his loyalty to his as
sociates, and in return he demanded
loyalty. He emphasized that he
would have no part in backstairs
maneuvering directed "at any man
or group of men," and added signifi-
cantly:
= IF any Of you ever come around
to talk to me about things like that,
I am going to open the door and l
am going to kick you out. because
don't belong to that school"
For 40-minutes he talked, with ap-
plause frequently breaking into the
speech as delegates finally captured
the sustained enthusiasm that had
been missing from the convention
to accord the homage that formerly
was reserved for John l.. Lewis.

The reason for the calling or con-
