Walter P. Reuther warned to-
day that the labor movement
may collapse within two years
unless the AFL-CIO takes firm
action to mend internal riffs.
In a fiery 95-minute speech
to a convention of the ALL
CLOS Industrial Union Depart
ment, Mr.. Reuther declared he
will insist that the AFL-CIO
act at next months Miami
Beach convention to create
machinery to settle inter-union
disputes.
Mr.. Reuther dismissed as
hypothetical a question at a
later news conference about
what he will do if the conven-
ton fails to act. Most observers
doubt that the AFL-CIO will
split formally, but they fear a
further drift into disunity.
Mr.. Reuther said the Miami
convention must adopt a con-
stitutional amendment estab-
fishing rational machinery
for solving internal disputes
over jurisdictional claims and
other issues, with final and
binding arbitration.
Fail to Agree
He recalled that the AFL-
CIO convention in 1859 voted
for such machinery. A COM
mittee has failed to achieve
agreement on carrying out this
mandate, and Mr.. Reuther
blamed the building trades and
craft unions.

The Districts public school

is Bis per cent Negro and 1875
per cent white, according to
figures released today.
The enrolment up 5,603 over
last year, showed a 1.8 per cent
increase in the percentage of
Negro enrolment. This was a
smaller increase than in the
past five years, but Supt. Carl
F. Hansen said it is too early
to find a trend in the enroll
ment composition.
The increase in Negro en-
rollment over last year is the
smallest since 1928, the
figures show.
Last year the increase over
1859 was 3 per cent, and in
the previous year the increase

At Elementary Level
The overall increase in Negro
pupils, largely at the elementary
level, was 6,823. White enroll
ment showed a net decrease
of 1920.
The elementary enrolment,
continuing a steady trend over
the past several years, showed
1928 more pupils than last
year, in which Negro children
showed an increase of 3,525,
and white children showed a
decrease of SGT.
DR.. Hansen commented with
heavy reservation that the fig
ures might show "a greater in

race than in the past three
years."

Cites Lack of Accord
Although Mr.. Reuther and
other industrial unionists have
criticized AFL-CIO President
George Meany, he avoided men,
tioning Mr.. Meany in his
speech. At the press conference
Mr.. Reuther blamed the lack
of agreement on the building
trades unions, not on Mr..
Meany.
Complaining that the high
hopes" of the AFL-CIO merger
in 1855 have not been realized,
Mr.. Reuther said: I'VE got
unity in form but not in fact
and substance. We merged but
did not unite the labor move

Disunity persists, he said, be-

The date is not definite, it
