can way of living, the bushy-
browed leader reached a cross
roads which saw the union turn
against him on the principle OF
aid to the. allies.
Murray, at that point arose for
the first time as the dominant fig.
ure in the organization.
Lewis is expected to arrive to-
morrow or Friday in an attempt
to recapture lost prestige.
APPLAUD AEF SPONSOR
Perspiring like a wayward son
defying his father, Murray led the
Go convention delegates away
from Lewis isolationist policy and
sponsored a resolution declaring
all-out aid to Britain.
The 494 delegates even APP
plauded when Joseph Cannon, d.
rector Of the Distillery Workers
Organizing Committee, declared
the United States must send an
army overseas.
But the shadow Of Lewis re-
manned over the convention during
the wild demonstrations in favor
of repudiating the policies of the
man who fathered this national
amalgamation OF workers.
In parting with Lewis on this
one broad issue OF aid TO the
allies, President Murray reviewed
in detail his long years of service
to Lewis United Mine Workers.
He told of indignities and punish
ment he had suffered while lead
ing mine strikes which were an

Canada TaxCited
In Fight Against
Arms Exemption

. Mayor Edward J. Jeffries today
lllowed up his drive TO enforce
I Taxation on British-owned war
materials in Detroit with a letter
TO United States Senator Arthur
II. Vandenberg pointing out that
Canada has so far failed to grant
such a concession.
The mayor, along with spokes-
men for all the associations OF
municipalities, is fighting enact
ment of a treaty which woul d
q grant local tax exemption to war
materials being manufactured for
Britain and her allies.
In his appeal to federal authori-
ties Mayor Jeffries is insisting
that such a regulation would
seriously burden real estate tax
payers in Detroit and would be
granting Great Britain conces-
sion which even Canada, an active
participant in the war, has not
extended.
