FEDERATION CALLS FOR DISSOLUTION OF LEWIS GROUP CIO Unions in Good Standing Would Return to Federation Under Substitute Plan Pictured above is a scene from the the governor Wednesday morning. PROPOSAL TURNED DOWN Industrial Unionists Had Sug- gested CIO Rejoin AFL With Independent Status Washington, Oct. 27.—()—Labor’ peace conference recessed Wednesday until Nov. 4 after each side had turned down the other’s peace proposal. Harvey Fremming, one of the CIO organization negotiators said the re- cess was “in no way considered a per- manent disagreement.” He said the American Federation of Labor’s three-man delegation had “learned some things they didn’t know before” and added that the confer- ence broke up because “we all had a lot of other things to do.” “The proposal suggests abject sur- render,” Philip Murray, chairman of the CIO peace committee said in a statement issued two hours after tne federation had suggested dissolution of the CIO as the basis of the settle- ment of labor's strife. Murray said the federation had call- ed for the CIO unions which orig- inally were affiliated with the AFL w “desert and betray” the 23 new na- tional and international unions that have joined the CIO since its forma- tion two years ago. Murray also described the federa- tion’s offer as “merely a reaffirmation of its former policy and certainly it does not contemplate the organisation of the unorganized into strong un- fons. ze meiae=/2 Killed, 15 Injured When (5552522 | superintendent of public instruc- “tion and also ex-offielo board mem-- or (CRO cepartment tn) ths ge hi of the frame build- the machinery.
