Attack was also the watchword

OF the government.
This was in line with the anti
labor and anti-Roosevelt campaign
mapped out at a secret session OF
the NAM resolutions committee in
New York on Sept. II, held in
preparation for the convention.
While protesting their admiration
for labor in general, NAM leaders

turn appearance before the War
Labor Board this week, following
Its doublecross on a promise to ac-
cept Pres. Roosevelt's order for the

FDR acted two weeks ago when
the company took space In several

HAILED BY MURRAY

Murray hailed the understanding
as a "step toward organic unity
complete merger-which may be
discussed at the next meeting OF
the six-man group some time later
In December.
The CIO leader saw in the
agreement "broad declaration
of principles. designed to bring
both organizations closer tOgeth-
err" Bates of the AF'L also in
dicated the pact was "a step for
ward a step toward amalga-
nation"
"The joint committee has per-
fected the first agreement between
the two organizations since the
split in November. 1886" Murray
added.
Spokesman indicated that the
new jurisdictional disputes council
would be available to hear appeals
from international unions, and that
Its function would call for the use
of elasticity" and good judgment"
In the handling of specific disputes
rather than for the establishment
of rigid spheres of jurisdiction for
the various unions. The council
will not be available for appeals by
local unions. which will be asked
to refer jurisdictional questions to
the national office of their organ
ization for possible appeal to the
joint CIO-AFL body.
