Application Of UNIV
To Join AFL Will
Not Be Withdrawn
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, Oct. 2-John L. Lewis.
who asked the American Federation
Of Labor last May to readmit his
United Mine Workers, has elected
to let the application go to a vote
of the Federation convention, which
gets under way here Monday.
Mr.. Lewis let his decision become
known last night, putting an end
to speculation that he might with
draw the application because of the
AFL Executive Councils decision
neither to approve it nor to make
recommendation to the convention.
Delegates, who already have ar
rived in large numbers, expect
lively controversy, but the prospects
are that the subject will not be
reached on the convention floor
until the second week.
May Call Witnesses.
AFL President William Green said
the UNIV application is a part of
the Executive Council report, which
will be referred to the Resolutions
Committee. This committee will
hear any witnesses who wish to ap-
pear and then will make its report
to the delegates.
The Resolutions Committee chair
man is Matthew Woll, AFL vice
president, who is regarded as in
clined to support the application.
The principal obstacles to Mr.
Lewis return to the Federation are
the UMW's District so, which has
invaded a number of AFL jurisdic-
tions. and the Progressive Mine
Workers of America, which now
holds the AFL charter rights in the
mining industry. Present Federation
laws give the Progressives the veto
rights over the admission of any
other miners union and they have
announced they will oppose Mr..
Lewis application.
Charged "New Deal Plot"
The United Mine Workers Journal,
which expresses Mr.. Lewis views,
said after the AFL councils action
in August that the New Deal was
responsible for the councils failure
to approve the miners application.
The Journal interpreted this as "a
New Deal Illustration of labor unity"
Besides Mr.. Woll, the Negotiating
Committee, which met with Mr..
Lewis to discuss his application, was
made up of Daniel j. Tobin of the
teamsters and George F. Harrison of
the railway clerks. Their report and
the Executive Councils subsequent
action melted speculation that Mr.
Lewis would interpret that as a
rebuff and withdraw his application
The committee which discussed
the application with Mr. Lewis last
July reported back that the UNIV
chief told them that his union "ac-
cepts the American Federation of
Labor as it now exists, and expects
the American Federation of Labor
to accept the United Mine Workers
of America as it now exists"

ALGIERS. Oct. 2.-Despite a short
age OF neWsprint which is holding
Algiers newspapers to a single page
the De Gaullist-sponsored Republi-
can daily made its first appearance
today on a full eight column sheet
twice the size Of the other Algiers
dailies.
The other newspapers-three
French dailies, the British Union
Jack and the American Stars and
Stripes-have been appearing in the
regular tabloid size of five columns.
According to some French journal
lists, the De Gaullist members of the
French Committee of National Lib
GRAFTON desire to extend the govern
ments control, through the Ministry
of Information, over French news
agencies, perhaps by consolidating
them as official government agencies
similar to the German DNB, the
japanese Doemi and the Russian
Tass. and intervention in the daily
newspaper field might be an open
ing step in this direction
There are at present two French
agencies operating outside of France.
the Agence Francaise independents
of London. which serves French
colonials outside of North Africa,
and France Antique, with headquar-
ters in Algiers, which serves French
newspapers in Algeria, Morocco and
Tunisia. Both oppose establishment
OF government news agency and
are hopeful they will be able them
selves to form a postwar news-gath-
erlng organization owned and oper-
ated by French newspapers and
modelled along the line of the Asso-
ciated Press.
They believe this plan. plus high
er newspaper salaries. is the only
way to create and maintain an in
dependent free press.
The Agencies France Afrique and
AFI both have operated partly by
subsidies. France Antique receives
support from the French commit
tee and AFT receives grants from
the British treasury, repeatedly with
no strings attached.
Moves are currently under wav
Tor consolidation of the two agencies.
but AFI is known to have opposed
a merger.
France Antique has been receiving
and distributing Owl broadcasts.

United 5tates-British
Postwar Air|ines Pact
Reported Under Study
BY the Associated Press.

5y lne Associated Press.
The Government was reported
today considering proposal for
an understanding with Great
Britain whereby neither country
would enter into a postwar COM
mercial air transport agreement
with a third country before con-
sulting each other.
The events which led to the pro-
posal and the pendency of the sug-
gestlon itself are believed to be
largely responsible for the admins
tratlons changed attitude about the
urgency OF beginning conversations
on international airline agreements.
once eager to get such talks started
the Government now is understood
TO be willing to move more slowly.
President Roosevelt told a press
conference yesterday that he and
Prime Minister Churchill were
agreed that there should be freedom
OF the air, but he added that their
discussions had been informal and
mad not reached the stage of talking
about individual airports.
Shows No Concern.
Mr.. Roosevelt expressed the feel
Ing that everything would be all
right so lar as postwar use of Amer
lcan-f1nanced airbases in foreign
lands Is concerned. The President
did not appear to share the concern
OF Senator Brewster, Republican. of
Maine, one of a group of five who
recently toured the world. that the
United States would be left holding
the bag on its investment in such
bases.
The investment recently was esti-
mated unoff1cially at more than ST.
600, 1000, 900. A civilian who is famil-
lar with some of the work done in
foreign lands said privately that
since the bases were built for mill
tary expediency, many of them will
have no commercial value at all
after the war.
An exhaustive study of individual
domestic airlines as possible inter-
national carriers has been made bv
the Justice Departments antitrust
division. The report probably will
be completed during the next week
Or two.
Group Favors Free Competition.
Meanwhile, the International
Committee on Postwar Aviation has
taken stand in favor of free and
open competition in international
air commerce along the lines now
followed in domestic transport. A
minority report-the view of one
member-urged the chosen instru-
ment' policy under which a single
United States airline would carry
the flag into foreign lands.
The argument for the monopo-
llstic plan Is that competition be-
tween American carriers will put
them at disadvantage in meeting
the united strength of foreign air
lines, all of which operate as gov
ernment controlled or subsidized in
struments.
The United States had only one
international airline operating be-
fore the war-Pan American Air
ways, which with some 10000 miles
OF routes was the worlds largest.
