His expression was greeted by cheers and applause from delegates gathered in the auditorium of the Moose Temple. I am not an advocate of war, he said. I am not a war monger. I hope our nation will never undergo the rigors of war. "When I support the president, I do so with the definite commitment that he will fight for the retention of pur liber-lie- s and the maintenance'bf bur economic freedom." Murray mentioned by most delegates as a cinch to be elect, ed to his second term as president of the CIO spoke from a rostrum oyer which hung a heroic size painting of him. " HITS AT MEDIATORS He accused pie National Medl- -' ation Board of discrimination in the captive mine dispute and said the board had approved an open shop for ,the AFL in another instance. He reiterated that the mine workers In the captive coal controversy had a meritorious case. As the 600 delegates and other officials convened, they -- were confronted by a conflict in aims of leaders who called for full speed defense production and at the same time pledged support to . diggers who have ceased work in defense vital mines. Before the delegates jwere these pronouncements: 1. A resolution of their execu tive board pledging unqualified support to John L. Lewis United.

VIOLENCE REPORTED A brick throwing fight was reported at Gary at one mine. It was the only disorder in the early hours of the strike. Lewis informed the president that the UMW refused to ac- cept the open shop agreement with the captive mines because other it would - invalidate agreements in operation In the soft coal industry. He told the president that officers of the union had no authority to execute an open shop agreement, thereby destroying the assets of the membership represented by existing collective agreebargaining ments.- The union shop was the sole issue in the dispute which culminated In a work stoppage today in the captive mines. Lewis did not call the White House, as he had been requested to do when Mr. Roosevelt asked last Friday that negotiations be in extended over the week-enan eleventh-hou- r attempt to halt in the threatened shutdowns captive mines which supply coal to steel mills. Commercial coal mines, which unlike the captives, sell their product in the open market, are operating under a union shop agreement d EXPECTS ACTION Lewis told reporters after a UMW policy committee meeting that the body had taken no action toward caning out the workers in commercial mines in support of the miners in the captive pits. There was an indication that Lewis expected further rapid-fir- e developments in Washington, for he told questioners that he would remain in the eapital Detroit, instead of going to where the national CIO convention opened today. The policy committee, after a brief closed session in which they were addressed by Lewis, .broke up but remained within call, to be readyfor any devel 330, 000 UMW -- JL- - opments which might necessitate convening. At the time that the letter to the president was released, Lewis was telling the UMW policy committee that he blamed the present strife in the coal pits squarely on President Eugene G. Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Company. Lewis, addressing an open meeting of the UMW policy committee, said he was convinced Benjamin Fairless of United States Steel Company and Frank Purnell, head of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company were ready to sign the union shop agreement, but were prevented by that sinister figure Grace." The three steel company executives, Fairless, Grace and Purnell, were to go to the White House this morning to present their report, but White House officials said they had no information how or when labor representatives would follow suit. Asked whether any action was likely following the conference with the steel officials, Secretary Stephen Early said he did not know but thought not. CHEERED BY COMMITTEE Lewis was roundly cheered by the 200 members of the policy committee when he said that the fight of the UMW is with the steel companies and not with our government as some would say. The UMW members baited nearly all production today in the captive mines which supply the nations largest steel companies openly defying President Roosevelts injunction that coal must be mined. Lewis declared that some day, Inevitably, the union shop (requiting all miners to become would be union members) achieved, but skid this time would not come until Industrialists and congressmen understand that the army is not going to shoot our people and the soldiers are not going to mine coaL" ' - V B LONDON, Nov. 17.

Repulse of German forces which had broken Into the vital area' of Tikhvin was announced in Kuibyshev.
