Matchmaker Lew Raymond and
Manager Broadway Johnny Cox
for talking out of turn, the COM
missioners learned that Raymond
couldn't be suspended because he
never was licensed and Cox
couldn't legally be set down ex-

thing off. Might be good idea
for the New York commission.

AFL Cool 10 Idea
OF Clio for Joint
Meeting on Unity
Suggestion Rejected, but
Comment Is Withheld
For Sake Of Harmony
By the Associated Press.

The CLOS counterproposal for
achieving organic labor unity has
met with an AFL silence that does
not mean consent.
Informed sources said AFL on
cials had rejected a suggestion for
joint meeting of CIO and AFL
executive bodies, but probably
would refrain from any comment
which might impair the existing
functional unity inspired by the
war effort.
Move Held Impractical.
AFL leaders were authoritatively
represented as believing such a
Joint meeting would be impractical.
Membership of the combined boards
would exceed so persons. Moreover,
the recent turn of events in the feud
between CIO President Philip Muir
ray and John L. Lewis. president OF
the United Mine Workers, was
viewed on both sides as another de-
ferment of the day when the two
big labor organizations would be
one again.
The AFL last month proposed a
resumption of negotiations by the
committees of three. CLOS COM
mittee was headed by Mr.. Lewis, but
Mr.. Murray has declared Mr.. Lewis
no longer is chairman of any COM
mittee in the CIO. The CIO board
countered last week with the pro-
posal that it meet with the AFL
Executive Council to establish a
united national labor council" with
authority to formulate a program
covering all issues which may laid
the cause of labor and the war pro-
gram"
Would Foster Confidence.
The councils job would be to fos-
ter mutual confidence" between
AFL and CIO unions. After that
uncertain stage had been reached,
the council would encourage dis
cussions between AFL and CIO
unions having similar jurisdiction,
looking toward organic unity"
Some CIO unions, fearful OF los
ing their identity and force in any
merger, obtained still another quail
fication to the CIO proposal. 1t
was: "Such discussions will be
predicated upon the basic principle
that the interests of all members
and of all unions shall be protected,
and any steps taken must receive
the democratic approval of the
membership involved"
The AFL Executive Council is not
scheduled to meet until August.
Informed sources said any official
action on the proposal before that
time was unlikely.

The United Construction Workers
Organizing Committee has cut its
direct ties to the CIO to become
division of District so, United
Mine Workers of America.
The committees chairman was A.
D. Lewis, brother of John L. Lewis,
president Of the miners. He remains
as director of the division.
A letter signed by Chairman Lewis
and Controller Gardner H. Wales
advised local unions the decision
was taken because I'VE cannot sur
vive if we allow ourselves to be
isolated in the world of labor"
Treason Charged.
"The situation with relation to
the CIO," said the letter, has
undergone a Transformation due to
the attitude of certain of its leaders
and to the influence of certain
strange elements that appear to
have a decisive voice in its counsels.
These leaders and these elements
have also turned their backs on the
United Mine Workers. which fos-
tered them in their formative period.
Their acts of perfldy are a black
chapter of treason to the principles
of the industrial union movement" ;"
A formal resolution charging C1O
officials with treason" to the labor
movement was presented the UNIV
Policy Committee 10 days ago by
District so officials.
Lewis Authority Questioned.
An agreement executed with Dis
trict so officials provides that the
United Mine Workers shall not as
sumo any of the liabilities. debts or
obligations of the United Construc-
ton Workers Committee The COM
mittee's identity, policies and per-

regional director of the United Con-
struction Workers, said 1000 local
members had voted to continue
direct affiliation with the CIO in
stead of transferring to the miners
union. Mr.. Bucher said the Phila-
delphia group questioned the author
ity of Chairman Lewis to change the
afflliation without a constitutional
convention. Mr.. Lewis Office said
the change of aff1liation was passed
on by a policy board. The Con-
struction Workers Union has not

Defeat Of Wilson
Weisenbere's Pitching
Curbs Tigers; Winners
Bong IA Sofeties
By GEORGE HUBER.

Central, the city's oldest high
school, is building up the kind Of
baseball championship tradition it
has in all other sports. 1t has won
football basket ball and track titles
frequently. but during the last 20
years it has taken only three dia-
mond crowns - not counting It's
share Of a three way tie in 1882
and all three of these champion
ships have come in the last four
years.
It won in 1899, repeated in 1910,
gave way to Western last year and
then staged a comeback to cllnch
this wears title by smashing out an
8-3 triumph over woodrow wilson
Yesterday at Griffith Stadium. 1t
was the rubber" Of three-game
plavoff series after wilson's 1871
victory on Friday balanced Centrals
4-3 win in last Wednesdays opener.
Chipouras Is Viking Star.
Much of the credit for the Vik-
fngs' championship goes to Pitcher
Aaron Weisenberg. He tossed
three-hitter yesterday to go Win
the eight-hit winning job he served
I'D last week. Jack Ogle. wilson s
Young lefthander, handled all three
games for the Tigers, being crediteo
with one win and two setbacks.
Yesterdays batting star Tor the
champions was Pete Cnlpouras'
This slugging outfielder had a per-
feet day. getting two singles, a dou-
ble. a triple and a walk in f1ve trips
and knocking in five runs. Other
wise Central's 14-hit attack was
shared by Bob Fielding, Harry
wolfe Bob Hill, Ned Brogan and
Billy Carrier with two hits eacn;
Hill, Centrals best pro oasepail
prospect. finally came to life with
several hard-hit balls and got on
base four times and scored every
time.
The Vikings began their scoring
spree in the first inning with TWO
runs being tailed on Chipouras
single. His triple in the third In
ming sent in another marker, and
In the seventh he managed to score
himself, along with Hill, who tripled
ahead of him, when Ned Brogan hit
q single to centerf1eld.
Second Title for Central.
And lust to wind up things IN
grand style, the Vikings finished IN
a blaze of three runs in the ninth.
Oele was lifted from the Wilson
mound after pitching hits to the
first two batters and Hill, first man
to face Relief Carl Saline, was safe
on an error while Fielding was
scoring. Then Chipouras came up
with his double that sent IN both
Wolfe and Hill.
Wilson's only markers came IN
the third and sixth frames. The
two third-ianine runs were the re-
suits of Weisenberg's only lapse into
wildness. He walked Bill lavish,
threw a triple to Dick Sehwab, and
then wild pitched Schwab across.
The sixth inning marker was made
by Donny Hillock. He doubled OH
the right field fence, reached third
on Hansford Sullivan's single into
left, and scampered home when
Central's left fielder let the ball
through for an error.
The championship gave Central
the major sports edge over other
District high schools for the 194l-
a school year. 1t won the football
title, while Wilson got the basket
ball crown and Tech the track
championship.
