|AH Council Rejects
Lewis Proposal, But
Leaves Door Open
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 25.-The Amer
ican Federation of Labor yesterday
gave John l.. Lewis the terms on
which it would take back his United
Mine Workers of America, saying in
substance:
you may come back as you were
when you left, but not as you are"
Mr.. Lewis thus lost one more bar
gaining bout with the Federation,
but the door remains open for fur
ther negotiation.
The Executive Councils action
meant that 1t is not willing to rec
ognize, In advance OF reaffiliation,
Mr.. Lewis right to organize any
workers outside the coal and coke
industry.
Mr.. Lewis announced terms were:
Take us as we are and settle juris-
dictional boundaries later"
That would permit him to re-
enter the AFL with District so,
unit which has no geographical or
craft boundaries. He formed IL
after the AFL suspended him in
1896 for organizing the CIO. He
has gradually expanded into such
fields as chemicals, railroads, con-
struction, paper, munitions. elec-
trical and building maintenance.
over which AFL unions claim ex-
elusive Jurisdiction.
Deal Proposed.
Actually, Mr.. Lewis was willing to
LAT tho AEU. Dtetxt,t
after he got in, provided he could
keep chemicals and expand upon
the coal jurisdiction to include as
many related industries as possible
in which coal is used. That, con-
ceivably, would take him into tex
tiles (nylon) and the electrical
power field.
A surprising aspect OF the decision
was that it was reached unani-
mously. Not even Mr.. Lewis spon-
sor, William L. Hutcheson of the
Carpenters, or Harry Bates of the
/ Bricklayers, a stanch advocate OF
labor unity, made vigorous fights to
! take back Mr.. Lewis on his terms.
| The council today takes up the
invitation of British labor to attend
world conference in London next
June, with advance signs indicating
polite rejection.
Watt to Report.
Robert J. Watt, international rep
resentative of the AFL, was on hand
to give the council report of his
recent visit to London and confer
ences with Sir Walter Citrine, Sec
retary of the British Trades Union
Congress. Mr.. Watt was successful
on that visit in having the Inter-
national Labor Office meeting set
for Philadelphia in April. The
British, it is understood here. would
have preferred to hold the meeting
in London about the same time as
the world labor conference they
have called. Mr.. Watts maneuver
is interpreted as a tip-off to the
AFL's views of the proposed world
labor conference to which the CIO
has accepted an invitation.
The 1LO is tripartite organ
/ ization of Government, industry
and labor representatives
The AFL may make a counter
suggestion that any international
labor conference should be called
; by the International Federation Of
Trades Unions. This would obviate
the AFL's two objections to world
; conference because neither the
Soviet nor the CIO is affiliated with
the International Federation and
would therefore be excluded from

Crimean History
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The reconquest of the Crimea by Russian forces
adds another dramatic chapter to the history of the
peninsula, already distinguished on the pages OF
European history.
1t was in the Crimea go years ago that the famous
Charge of the Light Brigade" took place. The Cr-
mean War between Turkey andd Russia, with Great
Britain and France supporting the Ottoman Empire,
began in 1858 The Russians crossed the Danube

of Balaklava in which the English Light Cavalry
Brigade was almost totally destroyed in reckless
charge occurred on October 25 1854. This memorable
charge upon strong Russian position was made by
the Earl of Cardigan in obedience to mistaken order
down a long valley swept from both sides and one
end by Russian cannon.
The Russians sent more reinforcements into the
Crimea in an effort to relieve Sevastopol. In the
bloody battle of mkermann 5000 British troops held
their ground against $4,000 Russians for seven hours,
the Russians giving way when force of 5000 French
appeared. ..
In that campaign the allied armies suffered more
from disease than from the casualties of battle The
mismanagement of the commissarat in the British
Army left brave soldiers dying from hunger cold and
disease within few miles of ample supplies. The

vately--"like a Dutch uncle"
BUSINESS LEADERS UNCON-

The business executives sat and
listened. Only flare-up occurred
when scholarly Senator Austin of
Vermont took the floor. A sincere,
hard hitting Republican who has
co-operated ON all of Roosevelt S
war policies, Austin went after the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce pretty
hard. Accusing the Chamber of not
even being willing to consider ma
tional service act, he continued:
You have struck hands with Ia
Dor and agriculture to oppose one
of the most important measures
necessary to win the war"
Here President Johnston of the
U. S. Chamber interrupted:
Il beg your pardon, Senator, but
we have not struck hands with la
Dor and agriculture. We have not
been invited to any other meeting
to discuss this, and the only other
discussions we have had have been

STIMsON AND KNOX

Those who beard Secretary of
War Stimson and the late Secre-
tary of the Navy Knox in the
closed-door session with represen-
tatives of big business say they
made a magnificent, stirring appeal
for a labor draft, but that the bus
mess executives remained unmoved.
The national service question con-
tinues to be one case where bust
ness, the CLIO and the farmers all
agree.
The business men present COM
planned bit afterward that they
had been called in to be lectured,
and that they had no chance to ex-
press their views. (Only one man,
Eric Johnson, president of the u s.
Chamber of Commerce, managed TO
get in word in reply. However,
the one-sidedness OF the meeting
probably was necessary, due to the
fact that such large group was
present.
About sixty representatives of the

citation Of Manufacturers and the
