The craft union controlled annual convention of the American Federation of Labor voted Monday night to continue the suspension of the 10 big international unions affiliated with the Committee for Industrial Organization, of which John L. Lewis is the president. The vote to support the resolution committees report was 21,769 to 2,043 against. The ten C.I.O. unions with more than 10,000 votes had no representation in the convention. The resolution continuing the suspension decided: 1. To renew the Federation executive councils order to talk peace with the rebels, suspended September 5 for insurrection. 2. To give the executive council power to call a special Federation convention to expel the suspended unions in the event the peace efforts structure was reconditioned at a collapse.
