AFL Invites J John L Lewis Back to Fold CINCINNATI, Nov. 2(MVThe American Federation of Labor took another step toward the lu- ve goal of labor unity toaay. it invited John L. Lewis and his 600,000 miners to come back to the fold. Fariior In the AFL convention the delegates had approved a resolution inviting ine liu 10 re ft it, TTiov declared the door was not only open to the rival labor group, whicn meets in roruanu, Ore., next week, but said they were extending a hand of wel come. The Lewis resolution said it was a 'deep shock" to the AFL to learn of the miners' disaffiliation last Dec 12 after the bitter con vention fight in San Francisco. T.wi had foueht almost single- handed to get the AFL to refuse to sign non-communist ainaaviis. Although not a communist, he wanted to take that provision, which is the basis of eligibility to , use the National Labor Relations tsoara, as uie sigimi iui jj fight against the Taft-Hartley act. Indnlred in 'Name-Calling' Lewis lost at the Sari Francisco convention, called the other AFL leaders "intellectually fat and stately asses," and said the Fed eration "has no head; its neck just grew and haired over." But today the AFL seemed will ing to forgive. The resolution said "we do not here attempt to ex- lain or interpret the paradoxes nvolved in this disaffiliation." Shawn Justification Whatever may have motivated the action, the resolution added, "the march of events since then has not shown a justification for disaffiliation of the UMW from the AFL and we hope that the union, mindful of the loss result ing from disaffiliation, will re consider its decision and rejoin their parent body, the AFL. "We hope that they will return home to function in the family of which, by their very nature, they re a functional part." Sporadic Fire Mprks China's Suchow Front NANKING, Nov. 30-UP)-Spor-dic fighting persisted around Suchow today as both sides pre pared for another battle on the road to Nanking. Defense minister Ho Ying-Chin told the cabinet there was still fighting near Nienchuang, 33 miles east of Suchow. This was the front on which the main com munist push was broken earlier this week. The Evening Post said the reds had attempted a new lunge her with four columns possibly 40,000 men but were thrown back when government planes joined the battle. The press had nothing new on reports 24 hours earlier that gov ernment troops had moved out 70 miles east of Suchow. Other press accounts said com munist troops also tried to make another attack on Suhsien, the railway point 50 miles south of Suchow, but were Intercepted and encircled. General Ho in his report to the cabinet emphasized that : rein forcements were being sent to this sector of the front.

The state convention went along with major CIO policy by endors ing the Marshall plan despite ob jections from members of the long shoremen's and the fisherman's unions. The argument launched a hot controversy on tho convention iioor. Ted Silver. CIO labor rMtn. sentative on a mmmftt for nm. motion of the Marshall plan, was telling the convention that only Europe's communists oppose the plan. That's a lie!" shouted Don Brown, longshoreman who re cently returned frdm Europe. I have a full report on your activities in Europe, Mr. Brown, and I know where, you get your ideas,? retorted Silvey. A crowd jumped up. "I believe Brother Brown owes the speaker an apology!" shouted John Brost, a longshoreman. "Not at all," said. Silvey. That is one of the privileges we have in this country. I am proud he can call me a liar. I only hope that the president of the USSR labor unions would feel this way, also." The delegates then voted ap proval of the Marshall plan. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY!
