John L. Lewis Named To AFL Executive Council In
Biggest Labor Development OF Year

The recent suspension of the Inter
national Association of Machinists for
failure to pay per capita tax provid-
ed a new opening on the Executive
Council which was forced to declare
the seat held by Machinist President
Harvey w. Brown, vacant. Mr.. Lewis
was elected to fill this vacancy. In the
past when the United Mine Workers
were affiliated with the federation,
Mr.. Lewis served on the Executive
Council for number of terms.
The reaffiliation proposal accepted
by the Executive Council provides that
the union shall return at once with
all it's members. This step was for
malized when the union gave it's check
for $4,000 to Secretary Treasurer
George Meany to cover per capita tax
for the month of January.
The next step will be the arrange
ment of conferences between UNIV of
ficials and representatives of other
affiliated unions which may claim
transgressions upon their jurisdiction.
1t is hoped that most jurisdictional
questions can be ironed out by agree
ment at such conferences. If not, Mr..
Lewis has agreed that any issues re-
naming in dispute shall be decided
finally by the Executive Council.
Other major developments since the
opening session of the mid-winter
Executive Council meeting included:
An appeal to Congress to con-
tinue price controls for another year
so that the purchasing power of the
workers wage dollar can be protect
ed and initiation prevented.
Reimbursement of the proposed
loan to Great Britain as step toward
development of world trade and stab
ilized international economy.
3-Announcement that the AFL will
not participate in the liquidation of
the International Federation of Trade
Unions which has been dissolved be-
cause of the formation of the Soviet
dominated World Federation of Trade
Unions. The AFL will have nothing
to do with this latter organization.
Conferences with representatives
Of the Cuban Confederation of Labor
for the purpose Of developing free
and strong trade union movement in
Latin America.
This week the Executive Council will
resume its session with Mr.. Lewis in
attendance.

Miami.-The United Mine Workers
of America, one of the largest and
strongest unions in the nation, is back
in the American Federation of Labor.
Acceptance of the unions bid for
reaffiliation of it's 100000 members
was completed here by the AFL Ex-
ecutive Council and announced by
President William Green.
The council also elected John l..
Lewis, head of the mine workers, to
the 18th vice presidency of the fed
Grafton.
The return of the UNIV to the AFL
fold which it had left 10 years ago
to form the nucleus of the CIO con-
stituted the biggest and most signifi-
cant labor development Of the year.
at will have a profound effect,
Mr.. Green declared at press confer
ence. "It is an important step toward
the development of united labor
movement in America. We are hopeful
that other unions that left us will
follow the United Mine Workers ex-
ample"
Confirmation of Mr.. Green's pre-
diction came almost Immediately. 1t
was announced that top representa-
tives of the United Brewery and Soft
Drink Workers Union are coming here
to discuss terms of reaffiliation with
the AFL at a meeting with the Ex-
ecutive Council This union, with its
$4,000 members, was suspended in
1889 when it refused to abide by a
convention decision regarding juris-
dictional conflict with the Teamsters
Union over truck drivers.
Mr.. Green, elated by these develop
ments, took advantage of question
at his press conference to scotch un-
founded propaganda as to his personal
future.
"The story that am planning to
retire is false" he stated emphatical-
ly. 81 am going to continue as Pres
ident of the American Federation OF
Labor"
Negotiations for the return of the
United Mine Workers Union had beer
in progress for years, following the
unions withdrawal from the CIC
which it helped to found.
A year ago plans for reaffiliatior
were agreed to by both sides but failee
of completion when Mr.. Lewis insisted
on representation on the Executive
Council at a time when there were
no vacancies on that body.
