Tp Be Resumed Friday In New York WASHINGTON, March 8-- (U.R) Labor's peace negotiators negoti-ators indicated today that the American Federation of Labor La-bor has modified its unconditional uncondi-tional rejection of a. proposal by the Congress of Industrial Organizations proposal to unify all labor under one organ ization. The indication came as negoU ators for the two organizations arranged to transfer their peace conference to New York. They announced jointly they would 't-sume 't-sume conferences there Friday night to consider the CIO plan to unite all American labor in a new "American Congress of Labor, Flatly Rejected Harrv C. Bates, chairman of the AFL's negotiating committee, read the joint announcement. which said the New York meeting also would consider "any other suggestions that may be laid be for it." Shortly after the CIO negoti ators presented the proposal at the initial White House confer ence yesterday, the federation rep resentatives flatly rejected It and asserted it was unworthy of serious seri-ous consideration. Today's meeting was held at the labor department. The joint statement regarding it said: FS I "The conference, made a,,.j?rjfelorempioymem reuer now f llmlnary canvass of Its pxoblentJfwy reports I3iat he will Insist on and met briefly with the secretary of labor.

Lewis of the CIO, personally heading his organization's organ-ization's peace committee, prefaced the second conference with a request re-quest that the federation give "intelligent "in-telligent analysis" to the CICs plan for an American Labor Congress. Con-gress. The CIO's plan calls for a new labor organization which would include in-clude the AFL, the CIO, and the independent railroad unions. It was denounced by AFL committee commit-tee members as "fanciful" and proposed for "headline purposes." They said they were "convinced it was not even designed for serious consideration."

Mon-day. Congressional members of the conservative economy group were planning to make the $150,000,000 appropriation a test vote in their effort to cut government costs. Mrl Roosevelt's position now, however, how-ever, is that he will not know until un-til receiving further reports from WPA how much additional money will be needeS. His relief message might re quest any sum of money from $150,000,000 down, he said. The consensus was that he will ask for additional funds, and probably the entire sum. Mr. Roosevelt's remarks to newspapermen yesterday generally were regarded as conciliatory to business.
