The miners and the clothing workers have paid most of the league's bills so far. Other Significant Moves. This move followed two other de- velopments that Lewis’ associates con- sider politically significant. The first was the chartering of the State, coun- ty and municipal employes of Amer- ica and the United Federal Workers of America by the C.I. O. Lewis is known to feel that Government em- ployes often are political leaders of high or low degree and that their Today ceremonies will open with a three-hour dance program by Jack | Manning of New York.

They added that he expects this offer, combined with his own strength, to result in & better offer from the Democrats to bring him into the Democratic camp at election time. | But he is making no commitments: now. He feels that much could hap- pen to change the entire situation in three years. Switched in N. R. A. Days. Before the New Deal, Lewis was a | Republican. He campaigned for Presi- dent Hoover's re-election in 1932 | President Roosevelt's support in N. R | A. days, however, led him to switch parties. He announced as early as Labor day, 1935, that the United Mine Workers, to & man, would support Mr Roosevelt for re-election. The miners contributed heavily to the Democratic | campaign fund. Lewis.

The first sign of friction between Lewis and the President appeared last Winter during the General Motors strike. Lewis publicly reminded Mr. Roosevelt that labor had supported him in the election and expected presi- dential support in great economic battles. Mr. Roosevelt replied that there came times when statements were not in order. The President's remark generally was construed as a “rebuke” although persons close to the White House said the President meant only to say that any statement might block the success of Federal mediation. Lewis chose to accept the general interpretation. Lewis' lieutenants repeatedly urged the President to step into the steel strike, but Mr. Roosevelt left Federal intervention to Secretary Perkins. At one time, the President said the gen- eral public thought “a plague o' both your houses” after strike violence had broken out. {D. C.
