N. Y. Times Gives Details
Of Reported Labor Peace

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 R.-The
New York Times today says John
L. Lewis, former head Of the c. I. O.,
and William Green, president Of the
A. F. L., have agreed on a unified
labor movement to be headed by
George Meany, secretary treasurer
of the A. F. L., as president.
Under the program for unity, the
Times says. Mr.. Green would be re-
tired at his full salary of $4,000 a
year for life, Mr.. Meanys salary
would be the same as Mr.. Green's,
and Philip Murray president of the
c. I. O., would be asked to accept
the $4,000 post of secretary-treas-
urer.
The paper declared the principle
obstacle remaining was that Mr..
Murray had not been consulted on
any part of the proposal, Mr.. Lewis
taking the initiative without inform
Ing Mr. Murray in advance.
Mr.. Lewis sent identical letters
to Mr.. Green and Mr.. Murray Sat-
urday proposing the resumption Of
formal peace negotiations, but ap-
parently left Mr.. Murray unaware
of unofficial conversations" carried
on last week by Mr.. Lewis and Dam
lei j. Tobin, A. F. L. vice presi-
dent, the Times says.
Agreement Here Claimed.
The Times says the A. F.. L. Exec
utive Council Informally agreed to
the slate OF new officers at a closed
meeting in Washington Saturday
night. Labor circles in Washington
disclosed that long steps toward
uniflcation had been taken.
Arriving here last night for con-
tract talks with several steel COM
panies. Mr.. Murray asserted there
was mot thing" he wanted to
say on the subject and added that
he certainly would not have q
statement until tomorrow"
Mr.. Lewis would become first or
second vice president of the united
organization, the Times says, and
the executive council would have a
membership OF % to Is as COM
pared with 13 in the present A..
r. L. council.
The Times says A. F. L. leaders
had instructed their representatives
to the forthcoming peace negotia-
tions to concede the principle Of
industrial organization in the mass
production industries. The Fedora
tion's refusal to waive jurisdictional
claims of craft unions precipitated
the 1885 bolt led by Mr.. Lewis.
Meany's Status Discussed.
Mr. Meany's acceptability to Mr..
Lewis was said by the Times to be
based largely on his support Of the
union shop principle in the con-
troversy between the United Mine
Workers and operators Of the cap
tive coal mines.
It was uncertain, the Times said,
whether Mr.. Murray would agree
on his own initiative or refer the
proposal to the G. I. o. National
Executive Board. consisting Of rep

Shortages Of Sugar,
Fats and Oils by '43
Forecast by Wickard
Holds Sugar Situation
Most Serious; Peanut,
Soybeon Stepup Urged
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
said last night the United States
faced a shortage Of sugar. fats and
oils by the end Of 1912.
Guest speaker on the weekly spon-
sored radio program of Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt, Mr.. Wickard said
'the sugar situation is perhaps the
most critical, because ordinarily we
produce only about q third Of our
national requirements, and We de-
pend On Cuba, the Philippines, Ha-
waii and Puerto Rico for much Of
our supply"
Increased Cuban production and
sugar from South and Central
America might help the situation,
the Secretary Of Az culture said,
adding:
But out Of the large Cuban crop
some Of the sugar Is being used to
make industrial alcohol. Further
more, We must share the sugar with
others Of the United Nations. So
without our usual amounts Of sugar
from the Philippines and Hawaii
there just won't be enough sugar fog
our usual consumption"
Secretary Wickard said there wa
. large enough supply Of fats anc
oils on hand Ito meet our needs fol
. year II we get only our ordinary
production. But by 1943, unless w
produce more fats and oils at home
our total supply may grow short.
To make up any possible short
age, Mr.. Wickard said, farmers wer,
being asked Ito increase their pro.
duction Of peanuts for oil by two
and one-haH times and their acreage
Of soybeans by so per cent ovel
last year."
Mr.. Wickard said he believed th'
United States would continue t,
have plenty of giving food
SO far - the total supply Is con
cerned.
But now we are one OF the q
United Nations whose resources To-
winniI> the war are to be shared
and placed wherever there Is need
We don't know how many people
we shall be called on to feed out.
side the borders of the United
States. Neither do we know how
great the difficulties In the way Of
increasing our farm production may
become, through shortages of rub.
Der, steel, fertilizer and so on. But
farmers and the professors ant
handlers of farm products are goine
to do their level best to meet thu
goals for higher production in 1912.

ginning because they could not get
out of having to make adjustments
somewhere along the line.
She approved suggestions made
on her broadcast last night by Sec
retary Of Agriculture Wickard that
people use molasses. raw sugar or
sorghum instead Of fine sugar.
She also thought that the chain
store practice Of limiting the sale of
sugar to those who bought at least
q dollars worth Of other merchah-
disc was . good way Of controlling
sugar boarding.
As far as the White House itself
is concerned, she said her bills

household staff was boarding, al
though the bills themselves had in

little as possible. She foresaw great
difficulty for farmers In isolated
Western communities whose auto
mobiles are the only way they can
get to business centers.
Without discussing tire-rationing
for cabs, she said she thought II
was sensible for them to carry as
many passengers as possible and
suggested that the hotels arrange
with the cabs to transport passen-
gers in groups when hotel guests
were all going to the same place.
