LoborLeuders Split Forces At Farley

Washington. Nov. 7- CUP) A bitter civil war was raging today among labor delegates to the Na- tional Labor-Management confer ence.
 The struggle temporarily over shadowed the main work of the conference - development of means to lessen industrial strike-and re- vealed a lop-sided split among labor delegates.
 Standing alone in the labor camp was the CTO, which is stalking its prestige at the conference on its fight to put the wage-price is- sue on the agenda. CIO President Philip Murray may formally ask the conference executive commit- tee today to take it up

Washington, Nov. 7.-CUP)-It's a good thing I look like a street car conductor Else I'd never have dis covered why labor unions bar re- porters from stike meetings. Nor would I have learned how to put hardboiled egg into a milk bottle.
 You've got to peel it. What that has to do with the trolley strike that crippled the capital and/or hundreds of thousands of human feet, I wouldn't believe, myself, if I hadn't seen it.

 Second Charge
 In Court

Arraigned before Judge John l.. Gaffney in city court this morning on charges of failing to grant the right of way and failing to signal, Robert w Purvis, 55, Guernseytown road, WatertoWn, received a nolle on the latter count and fine of SIP on the former. Atty. Michael Blansfieid, for the accused, entered motion for an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas.
 Purvis, it is alleged, after deliv- er.ng a load of produce from his farm, pulled out from the curb on East Main street near the Manville Mfg. Co.,, on October 25, and dam aged the right rear fender of a car driven by Mrs. Lucia Turney, 28S6 East Main street, who was proceed ing in an easterly direction.
 Mrs. Turney testified that the accused pulled out sharply and failed to give the proper signal. Her testimony was substantlated by that of another motorist. Joseph Rocco, who said that he was driving few feet behind the truck of the accused and witnessed no signal by PurViS.
 Adam MikalainiS, 26, l3 West Porter street. charged with reckless driving following an accident on South Main street Sunday morning, received a nolle when the court was informed that the man, an over seas veteran. made full restitution for damages to the other car.

 Lewis. formerly in the AFIs and reported soon to return, attacked Murray bitterly Cashen. who also heads a railway union affiliated with the AFL, deplored the CIO attempt to question his membership on the executive committee. Green led the AFB fight to win seats for Lewis and Cashen.
 Crimp In CIO Prestige
 Their remarks appeared aimed squarely at putting a crimp in CIO prestige and perhaps at crippling it permanently. The AFL has open- ly claimed that CIO unions are not strong enough financially to withstand any lengthy temporary mass unemployment brought about by strikes.
 The CIO insists that the confer ence must deal with the subject of wages and prices.
 They haven't heard the last of wages and prices" a Murray col- league said He hinted that the sub- iect would be raised at every op- portunity
 The CTO has staked it's whole prestige in the conference on this issue. Statements by Murray, who also heads the United Steelworkers. and President R. J Thomas of the United Automobile Workers drummed on this single theme.
 H. w Prentis. Jr, president of Armstrong Cork O., Lancaster, Pa, and former National Associa- tion of Manufacturers president, told the delegates, however, that it is "vitally important" that dis cussion be kept within the limits of the agenda adopted yesterday. That does not include wages and prices.

He was later picked up by Detectives James Stack and Paul Moynihan. Another youth who was with him at the time, said Bend Ter, fled when the officer ap- preached

end strikes. The motormen and the conductors called a continuous meeting" which is a kind of sit- down strike in absentia, to consider their demands for 30 more cents an hour.
 Taken for Senior Conductor
 I figured if l dropped in on both meetings, the Presidents and the conductors, and jotted down what saw, l might get pretty good stcry. I went to the Pythian hall first to see the trolley workers. A couple of thousand milled outside in uniform and in multi One said there would have been more-haw except that the street cars weren't running.
 A burly gent guarded the door, looking at everybody's union badge. But he must have thought I was the senior conductor on the Penn sylvania avenue line. He didn't ask me for any ticket and there I was in the mdist of the meeting.
 The car men and a few conductor cites sprawled in folding chairs, smoking cigarettes. reading head lines about themselves, and crack ing jokes. Everybody kept on his hat, including Conductor Othman. On the stage behind a table sat a union leader, smoking his pipe.

 We all sat there, ana sat some more. and eventually a portly citi- zen in a brown sweater walked to the footlights and banged for at tention. He had something white in one hand a milk bottle in the other.
 wondered aloud what he was do- ing. An elderly motorman on my right said it looked as though he was about to eat his lunch. He was peeling an egg, looked like.
 So he was. He placed his nude egg on top of the milk bottle. Too big. It wouldn't go in. Then he dropped lighted match in the bot tie and replaced the egg. It popped ir with bang.
 Then this Houdini Of the capital transit lines shook the bottle. He couldn't get the egg out. Yah, yah, jeered the assemblage. The magi- elan smiled in a superior way. He lit another match and heated the outside of the bottle and bang, again. The egg shot out. He burned his finger because you've got to have a hot bottle to make an egg do that, and received a round of applause.
 Hoofs Over to Next Hop
 He retrieved his egg and his milk bottle, wrapped both in newspaper, and disappeared. The chairman kept smcking his pipe. Some motormen came in and some walked out. Tn another 30 minutes a heayy-set man, who sounded like an official, said he had an important an- nouneement.
