White-CoNar Workers
Picket Labor Meeting

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. -@-
While white-collar pickets paraded
outside the acknowledgement
conference today, President Tru-
man gravely warned delegates they
must find formula for industrial
peace among themselves Or else
the people of the United States
will find the answer "some place
else"
The President did not raise his
voice when he made this statement
at the conclusion of his talk, but
no one present missed the irnplica.
lions as he called on leaders of
labor and industry to furnish a
broad and permanent foundation
for industrial peace and progress. ="
"For these answers must and
will be found" the President said,
1.-The whole system of private en-.
terprise and Individual opportunity
depends upon finding them"
With these words the President
set the task of the conference
which got away smoothly with only
the parading pickets adding a dis
cordant note. John L. Lewis, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America, walked through the
picket line twice to attend the
morning and Afternoon sessions
and William Green, president OF
the American Federation of Labor,
passed through once.
The pickets appeared on Contitu-
ton Avenue shortly before the con-
ference convened, protesting that
Independent unions had not been
invited to the conference.
They carried signs which read:
80, 00O,0c workers ignored by
Labor Department" 'The Man
from Independence, Mo-, Forgot
The Independent Unions" I'VE
Challenge Green, Murray and
Lewis to Cross This Picket Line"
Green arrived for the morning
session before the pickets appear
ed, but Lewis saw them when he
stepped from car. He stopped
and spoke briefly with one, then
went on into the Labor Department
building where the conference is
being held. Philip Murray, presi-
dent of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations entered through an
unpicketed side door.
The pickets lad down their
signs, however, when the Presi-
dental party approached and
there was no line across Mr.. Tru'
mans path.
The highly explosive question Of
wages and hours was injected in
to the conference both by Philip
Murray and Secretary of Com
merce Wallace in their addresses
while Green-siding with the views
of management delegates-assert-
ed "the introduction of other con-
troversial subjects such as wages,
full employment and legislation
for consideration of this confer
ence would make failure of the
conference a foregone conclusion
