He said the steel workers would

In his statement, President Green
said that the executive council of
the A. F. of L. had authorized
committee to discuss labor peace
and unity with q similar committee
Of the C. l. o. with the distinct
understanding that no peace plan

This committee consists Of three
A. F. of L. oficials: Daniel J. Tobin,

Mr.. Green's Statement.
President Green's statement fol-
lows:
There is absolutely no truth in
the statement published in the New
York Times on January 10 that an
understanding Of any sort has been
reached by the Executive Council
of the A. F. of l.. and officials Of the
c. I. o. regarding peace plans.
mo peace proposal or slate OF ON
GERS was agreed upon, either FORM
ally or informally, by the Executive
Council. The subject was not even
presented or discussed at any Of its
sessions.
THE facts are that the executive
council authorized q committee repr
resenting the A. F. of L. to meet
with a committee representing the
c. /. o. for the purpose Of discussing
labor unity and labor peace. No dis
cussion of peace plans took place.
The executive council conferred
upon the committee authority to
discuss peace plans. but with the
distinct understanding that no
peace plan could be adopted until
after 1t had been reported to the
executive council and approved by
said council.
Story Deplored.

is clearly false and untrue con-
fidence In the speculative features
of the said story Is destroyed.
"A great disservice was rendered
to the cause Of labor unity and
labor peace through the publica-
ton of this story. The report that
secret meetings were being held
and secret understandings reached
will serve to create suspicion, and
for that reason will handicap those
who may participate in labor peace.
Meanwhile, the National War La
Dor Board announced today that its
labor members will hold a hearing
here on Wednesday on the jurisdic-
tional dispute getween the A. r. L
and c. I. o. employees of the Los
Angeles Railway Corp. This is the
