Mr. Green refers to “dictatorship” in the CIO. 1at sort of childish name-calling does not direct attention from the fact that peace negotiations have broken down. What the rank and file of organized labor and the t of the public wants to know is: Why did these negotiations come to nothing? The conferences were held behind closed doors ifter President Roosevelt had virtually forced the rival organizations to consider unity. There have been some well-informed to what went on behind those doors, but no actual information. On what points, if any, did the two committees agree? On what did they disagree, and what reasons | were given by each side for the position taken? | Did these conferences make any progress at all?
