Rival Labor Bodies Agree On N. Y. Defense Program
New York City (ILNS).-Joint committees of members of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations to co-operate on civilian defense will be set up as the result of a conference attended by Mayor La Guardia and leaders of the rival labor organizations.
The program was agreed on after Thomas J. Lyons, president of the State Federation of Labor and some other labor representatives had charged that the Mayor and some of his commissioners had given only cursory attention to union plans for promoting the civilian defense effort.
Without joining in criticism of the attitude of the municipal administration, other labor heads complained that the city was not taking full advantage of the trained man power at its disposal, and urged greater recognition of union defense plans.
