Urges Leniency
To DSR Strikers

Leniency for the DSR strikers
who were merely confused par.
Elephants" in the July II strike was
urged today by Councilman George
Edwards.
81 find no quarrel with the
discharge of the strike leaders,"
Edwards said in a letter TO the
DSR commission and General
Manager Fred A. Nolan. "How-
ever, IL now appears that 40
men and their wives and chill
dren will remember these trials
as the origin Of a blacklist that
will prevent them from obtain

He said his own investigation
had shown that many of the strik-
ers had failed 10 report because
they honestly feared harm to
themselves or their families.

AFL Chiefs Map
Reply TO Murray
Peace Proposal
Time, star Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. a William
Green. president, and members Of
the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, today
were expected 10 give their answer
to Philip Murray's proposal that
discussions be reopened regarding
the possible establishment of or
ganic unity between the Go and
AL.
The executive council Of the
ALL met today at the Drake Ho-
tel. and Green indicated that a
public statement on the matter
would be forthcoming.
However, the possibilities of
peace in the near future seemed
very remote.
Observers here regarded Muir
rays change of attitude toward
the AF'L as a last ditch maneuver
TO forestall attempts of John l..
Lewis TO take his United Mine
Workers back into the AFL.
According TO Washington re-
ports, Murray's action was insti-
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-08-04

gated by President Roosevelt, who
is convinced that Lewis is a detri-
ment TO the labor movement in
this country.
AZ the time that the President
suggested the peace move, IL is
said, both Green and Murray were
present and both agreed that it
would be the logical step toward
blocking Lewis.
Lewis, however, is reported TO
have had several recent meetings
with William Hutchinson, president
of the Carpenters Union (AFL),
who like Lewis is a Roosevelt
hater.
IL peace negotiations were APP
proved by the AF'L executive coun-
Gil they would necessarily mean
that for their duration no move
would be made to consider Lewis.
Pending the elimination of unity
negotiations, Murray's proposal
suggests that the two groups es-
tablish a joint committee which.
with the aid of an impartial UNI
pire, would settle all jurisdictional
disputes.
The recent Pontiac jurisdictional
dispute between the AFL and CLIO
Grocery Clerks, which resulted in
the closing of two war plants. is a
case in point which neither Green
nor Murray would like to see
occur again.
Murray has named a committee
composed of himself as chairman,
r. j. Thomas, UAW-CIO presi-
dent, and julius Emspak of the
United Electrical, Radio and Ma
chine Workers

suit for unemployment at the

Under the plan, the Ford Willow

their size, would have a separate
board member. Percy Llewellyn

for the post.
