DO Nothing
AFL Policy

Boston. Oct. 12-INS-The So
000-a-day convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today was
launched on "do-nothing" policy
after il refused to vote on a resolu-
ton approving President Roose-
velt's Administration and prepared
to avoid a showdown vote on the
question of admitting negroes to
trade unions.
While Boston city officials esti.
mated that the 600 delegates to the
convention were spending some
$4,000 a day in food and lodging
alone, the conclave-the 63rd an
nual gathering OF the federation
also planned to avoid an open
fight on the request OF John L.
Lewis TO return to the AFL, al
though the issue was repeatedly
cut and dried as long ago as last
Friday.
The resolution on the Lewis
fight to lead his 100000 United
Mine Workers back into Fedora
ton ranks was to 'e presented to
the gathering tomorrow according
to the best information. The dele
gates took a halliday holiday this
afternoon TO help Boston celebrate
one OF its legal holidays. Columbus
Day.
II was believed that the resolu
tions committee Of the conven-
ton would merely recommend that
the question OF Lewis re-entry
to the AFL be referred TO the exc
cutive council Lewis friends had
been battling for his readmission
before this meeting ends Friday
but their cause now appeared
hopeless.
However. it was believed that

move would ed Federation mem

of
War Material

(By International News Service
Thousands OF tons OF war ma
terials were tied up in the South,
east today as the truck drivers
strike halted freight traffic in nine
southeastern cities and spread
westward to ST. Louis, Mo.
Between 1000 and 5000 drivers,
members OF the international
Transfers Union. AFL, were idle in
what some labor leaders said was
a protest against the delay OF the
War Labor Board in acting on
their demands for wage increases
and longer vacations.
Other labor leaders declared the
strike, which started sporadically
last week, was encouraged and
promoted by truck line owners who
have violated the contract in many
different ways"
In the Birmingham, Ala. area
alone an estimated /, 100000 pounds
of freight was piled up, waiting
delivery to all parts of the South,
including many war plants. Other
towns in the area also reported
long-overdue shipments were jam
ming the warehouses and termin-
ais.
Other major cities in the South
east affected by the strike were
Atlanta. Ga. Nashville, Memphis
and Knoxville, Tenn, New Orleans,
La. Montgomery. Ala. Jackson,
Miss, and Jacksonville, Fla.
Latest scene of the walkout was
in st. Louis where rowing bands of
strikers patroled the city in auto
mobiles and attempted to turn back
loaded trucks. Many of the driv-
ers were told by the strikers to re
port sick on threats of getting
your head knocked on.
As the strike continued to spread.
truck line operators appealed 20
congressman in the southeast to
seek congressional action in an eff
fort to halt the strike.
Union leaders in the Southeast
awaited word from Daniel ]. To

Transfers Union who now is at
tending the ALL convention at Bos-

Chairman William H. Davis that a
continuance of the strike would
only act in delaying a decision by

New Cut in
Gas Ration

Washington, Oct. Ems The
nations increasingly critical petro-
leum situation was reflected today
in a 25 per cent slash in civilian
gasoline rations in 10 western
states.
The A. B and c coupons OF sew
eral million, motorists in. the Pa
citic Coast and Rocky Mountain
areas were reduced in value from
four TO three gallons at 1901 a. m.
today. These states were affected :
Washington. oregon, California.
Nevada. Idaho. Montana. Wyoming.
Utah. Colorado and Arizona.
Car owners in the Midwest and
East neither benefit nor suffer as
result Of the latest OPA-PAW move
| but the cut was indicative OF the
tight supply situation which has
kept motorists east OF the Rockies
on short rations for many weeks.
Petroleum Chief Ickes said the
western action was necessitated by
rising military requirements which
are now consuming 43 per cent OF
the Vests gasoline supply and
are expected to take SO per cent
next year as the tempo OF war
mounts in the Pacific.
The west produces and refines
some 100000 barrels OF crude oil
daily, neither importing nor ex-
porting petroleum supplies to other
sections OF the United States. Tn
I'll today its drivers had been ra-
toned only to save the tires on
their vehicles.
The one gallon coupon reduction
was foreshadowed recently by an
order from Ickes directing western
retineries to cut down on their out
put of ordinary motor fuel and
step up production OF high octane
aviation gasoline.
Military requirements. Il was in
Dictated. also will prevent eastern
and midwestern motorists from re-
ceiying much relief from current
strict rationing restrictions for
many months ahead.
lckes allocated 10000 barrels Of
gasoline daily for consumption by
civilian drivers in the 10 western
states, during the fourth quarter Of
this year, a curtailment OF between
10 and Is per cent from previous
levels.
Foreign sources are being used
TO an even-greater degree. but the
military requirements that in the
past have been met from Pacific
Coast supply are increasing so
heavily that the effect OF foreign oil
will be only to make up the differ
ence that 1t will be impossible to
furnish from domestic supplies"
Ickes said.

does not offer under present mill
tary plans any additional gasoline
