LABOR LEADERS MEET IN RIVAL CONFERENCES
Lewis Warns Against Wage Slashes in Face Of Recession
By UNITED PRESS
The nation's labor leaders met in rival conferences today to consider problems of economic depression and conflict between the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization.
John L. Lewis, CIO head, told his United Mine workers convention at Washington that labor would fight any plan to meet business recession by price cuts or wage reductions. His lieutenants denounced President William Green of the federation—a possible forerunner to expulsion of the federation head from membership in the mine union.
At Miami, a strong group of the federation executive council launched a drive to oust all CIO sympathizers from federation unions.
They said the first move would be an effort to force the Pennsylvania State Federation to expel all members of CIO unions who constitute the bulk of the state membership.
