New Peace Talks
By AFL dndCI0

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3 GNS).-
Reopening of long-dormant peace
negotiations between the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the
Congress for Industrial Organiza-
tons was foreseen today.
Philip Murray. Go president
initiated the peace move in a let.
ter to William Green, president OF
the AFL, in which he asked that
discussions TO establish organic
unity" between the two labor
bodies be resumed.
Murray also suggested immedi-
ate action to eliminate jurisdic-
tional strikes that interfere with
war production.
Murray's action in suggesting
reopening of the peace parleys and
appointing a Go committee to
conduct the negotiations removes
John l.. Lewis from the labor
peace picture. Lewis until few
weeks ago maintained he was
chairman of a standing Go COM
mittee TO discuss peace proposals
with the ALL.

Victory!

Today, with greatly in-
creased telephone traffic
crowding the lines, there's
real danger that vital war calls
may be delayed. We can't add
sufficient new telephone facil-
tiles to handle the heavier
load because materials are
even more urgently needed
for fighting weapons.
That means just one thing.

Ride Swapping
Hit as 0PA Cuts
Tire Allowance

Ride sharing programs being
conducted by many war plant
workers in this area faced serious
disruption today with the an
nouncement by the Office of Price
Administration that only one car
in each such riding group will be
eligible for new tires or retreads.
Answering criticisms that such
an order would result in many
complications when the car owner
is transferred to another job, be-
comes i'll, or changes working
hours, Arthur II. Sarvis, Michigan
OPA administrators, said:
Undoubtedly this ruling will
shock many who do not fully
realize the seriousness OF the
rubber situation.
WILL SAVE RUBBER
Careful consideration will
show, however, that such a rule
will save more rubber than try
ing to keep four automobiles In
tires. In addition, IL will prOba-
bly, do more than any other sin
gle thing to cut out non-essential
driving.
"Despite conflicting reports,
the rubber situation I'm this
country is serious. The ruling
seems to speak for itself on that
score. II wouldn't have been
issued II II had been unneces-
sary."
