conferences on the situation fac

the new act. He said that all of
labor was confused over the status
now existing and that plans must
be made to clarity it.
AT THE SAME time ALL Chief
Counsel Joseph A. Padway called
a two-day conference of lawyers
representing ALL unions to study
effects of the Taft-Hartley act on
labor. More than rs attorneys are
expected from New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, Baltimore, Wash

Atlanta, Mobile and Pressmen's

THE conference will be ex-
ploratory and consultative in
nature" Padway said. We will
survey the immediate effects OF
the new law on labor unions
and its long range impact. Fur
thermore we shall try to obtain
u consensus among the lawyers
on which sections of the law are
clearly unconstitutional so that
legal contests can be undertaken
without confusion and without
delay.
after the conclusion of the con-
ference, series of bulletins will
be drafted and issued to all AL

WASHINGTON - FP) - The
ALL has turned thumbs down on
calls for general protest strike
against the Taft Hartley slave la
Dor law, AFL Pres. William Green
said June Is after meeting with
resident members of his powerful
15-man executive council.
Green told newsmen he had re-
ceived "any number of kilograms
and letters from ALL leaders
across the country" calling for
general strike, but that he believed
such action would be "unwise and
inadviSable."
Instead, he said, the AL will
fight the new law in the courts
and 1--WE will organize politically
for the purpose of defeating every
member of Congress who voted
for the bill"
COMMENTING on this phase OF
the situation, Green said enact
ment of the new law emphasized
the need for unity by creating in
creased sentiment among rank and
file members" He predicted the
AL and CLIO would be united
organically by the end of the year.

Must the Hungarian electorate
docilely seal its fate by participa-

Witness Denies Kurusu Trip

BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Aug. 16.-A witness told
the international tribunal yesterday
that Saburo Kurusu's trip to Wash

"was carried out solely as one more
effort offering an additional chance
to succeed in the earnestly desired
conclusion of negotiations.
Kuomachi Yamamoto, chief of the
East Asiatic and American Bureaus

in the trial of Is japanese accused
of war crimes. He said Kurusu left
for Washington two days after the

not accepted.
