Show LABOR PEACE CONFERENCE DEADLOCKED Stalemated Parley To Be Resumed In Capital Capi-tal On Nov. 4 WASHINGTON, Oct. 27 (U.R) Peace delegates of 7,-300,000 7,-300,000 organized American workers reached deadlock today to-day in efforts to reunite the American Federation of Labor La-bor and the Committee for Industrial Organization, and recessed their historic peace conference con-ference for one week. Alternate peace proposals, rejected re-jected by both factions, will be considered during the interim and new efforts to end labor's two-year two-year civil war will be begun at resumption of the conference on Nov. 4. Meet Stalemated Three days of conference in a hotel suite almost within sight of the White House brought to a rtalemate the two. groups of ncgo- tiators with whom rested organized organ-ized labor's hope for a united front. The collapse came in the face of unofficial administration efforts ef-forts to keep both sides at a. conference con-ference table until their differences differ-ences were conciliated. James F. Dewey, federal conciliator con-ciliator from the department of labor, arrived at the conference room a few minutes before the recess, re-cess, apparently seeking to prevent pre-vent the deadlock. The divergent proposals, under which the two warring factions outlined conditions under which they would be willing to reunite, proved mutually unacceptable during dur-ing the tense conference. The C. I. O. outlined its plan yesterday. The A. F. of L. replied re-plied with a counter proposal this morning. The C. I. O. promptly rejected it. After continuing in conference another hour, the delegates agreed to recess. The federation had demanded dissolution of the C. I. O., with return of the original "rebel" unions into the parent organization organiza-tion without loss of rights and conferences to determine disposition disposi-tion of membership in C. I. O. unions organized since the rift in labor's ranks. . The C. I. O. asked complete autonomy for all its units in a separate department within the federation structure, together with a free hand to unionize mass industries in-dustries and basic material industries. |
