The father of the CIO sent three
OF his closest aides here for this
purpose--his daughter. Kathryn
Lewis; his brother, A. D. Denny
Lewis, and Ora Gassaway. head
of the coke and chemical division
of the United Mine Workers.
Their efforts produced more
than a dozen fist fights in hotel
Hobbies and corridors. They lost
their battle in the convention
resolution committee.
In the end, Murray did an UNI
thing by lecturing
Lewis from the platform. Never
before has a Go leader dared to
criticize the founder at a national
convention.
Although he did not mention the
UNIV head by name. every dele
gate knew who was being fingered
when Murray declared against
inter-union raids"
For one of the bitter undercur-
rents Of the convention was caused
by charges that Gassaways chem
ical workers and Denny Lewis
workers have been
other units Of the union.

Times star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Com-
=puisory arbitration OF defense
labor disputes which fail to yield
10 other forms OF settlement Is
being studied by several members
OF the Michigan congressional
. delegation and probably will find
substantial support among the
states representatives here, cam
vass disclosed today.
Most OF them indicated that
while they have open minds on
the question OF compulsory arbi-
tration, they prefer to await sub
mission of legislation by the ap-
propriate committees OF Congress
for dealing with Interruptions OF
defense production before reach
ing their own final conclusions.
Strikes Intolerable'
"The strike situation has been
intoiersbIe for many month";,
Senator Vandenberg said. There
has never been q moment In this

not have taken effective action

ing. Events are now forcing his
hand, and I shall be one TO CO.

1iest possible moment.
~ do not wish to discuss the
question of compulsory arbitra-
ton ofIhand or without going
into considerable detail. shall
have something TO say on 1t

lem on the Senate floor"
Congressman Roy o. Woodruff
(R) Of Bay City, dean OF the
House delegation. said he had an
open mind on the question OF COM
puIsory arbitration, but was en-
phatic in insisting the time has
come for action OF some kind to-
insure continued production fort
the period Of the war emergency.
Wants to See II
'T would want to see the
legislation before I should vote
for IT," he said. I'D want TO
know whether II applied only
TO defense industry or 20 all In
dustry. I am n Arm believer In
organized labor. On the other
hand I believe organized labor
has n responsibility to the coun-
try which IL must recognize,
and which should guide Its ac-
tions particularly In any ma
tional emergency.

understand why the country

Murray Stands
In Full Charge
Of National Clio
Convention Held
Complete Setback
to Lewis Policies

Defeated on all important issues
and controversial questions that
arose at the national CIO conven-
ton here. John l.. Lewis today
finds himself no longer the con-
trolling force of the labor empire
he founded.
The convention went down the
line for the recommendation and
suggestions of President Philip
Murray and by re-electing him by
ovation served notice on Lewis
that. although he may he the
CLOS founding father and first
president, he is not its leader.
Lewis first defeat came when
the CIO voted about support TO
President Roosevelt's foreign
policy. Lewis, a strong isolationist,
is opposed to that policy. Other
defeats followed.
1t is true the delegates also
adopted a resolution supporting
Lewis coal strike. then in progress,
But they did this without enthusi-
asm. They did ii because funda-
mental policy of the Go is the
principle of the closed shop and
Lewis had made this the surface
issue in his war with President
Roosevelt over the captive mines
Remained IN Control
So after casually giving Lewis
Ia pledge Of support. the convention
almost Immediately gave long and
NOISY approval TO resolution com
Uniting the union to wholeheartec
support of the President and his
program.
The action marked the end, al
least temporarily, of Lewis reigr
over the labor empire Of his owl
Icreafion.
True, he resigned as president
a year ago. but he remained ir
control Of the 1910 convention anc
dictated the election OF Murray
as his successor.
Not until this Detroit meeting
did Murray rise above the shadow
of the founder and establish the
fact that In the immediate future
at least, he-not Lewis-will con
ttrol the destiny of the Go.
Most harmful blow to the Lewis
camp was the refusal OF the con
vention to condemn Sidney Hill
man, head of the powerful Amalga
mated Clothing Workers, who !
!, now eo-direeter OF OPM.

VOTERS TO
DECIDE FATE OF
SIX AMENDMENTS
Will Cast Ballots on Proposals
at 1912 EIectiOn-Raising of
Legislators Pay Is One

Maryland's voters will be asked to
decide the fate of six proposed amend
ments to the state constitution at the
1912 election
Five of the six proposals were
passed at the final hectic session of
the General Assembly, and so great
was the confusion that it did not be-
come evident until last Friday of
what had passed.
The proposed amendments which
will appear on the ballot in Novem-
Der, 1912, are:
To require that any candidate for
appointment of election to the bench
in Baltimore and Hartford counties
must have been a resident of the
county for six months.
To provide authority for the Gen
eral Assembly to set the rate of COM
pensation of clerks of courts and reg
listers of wills. The constitution now
sets the salaries at $4,000 in the
counties and $500 in Baltimore.
To empower the State Roads Com
mission to proceed with construction
through property Immediately upon
payment of price set by it as fair,
without waiting for condemnation
proceedings in the courts.
To increase the pay of members of
the General Assembly to $1,000 a
year. Members now receive S. a day
while the legislature is in session.
To provide for the establishment of
Juvenile courts as courts of record,
empowered to act on all charges of
criminal offenses against persons less
than eighteen years old, except when
the penalty may be capital punish
ment or life Imprisonment.
To modify the requirements that
all gifts to religious organizations
must have the consent of the legisla-
ture.
These six are the only survivals
among eighteen proposals to amend
the states basic law made during the
assembly's ninety day session.
The attempt to raise legislators
pay has been made numerous times
previously, and was rejected by the
state electorate only last November.
