John Lewis, Others Face
Possible Suspension
From AFOL.
WASHINGTON, July IS. (VP)
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor,
assailed John L. Lewis and other
Industrial union leaders today for
failing to appear at the federa
tion's executive council meeting.
Threatened with suspension
from the A. T. of L. for alleged
"dual unionism" the president of
the United Statea Mine Workers
and seven other union chieftains
affiliated with the committee for
Industrial organisation Ignored a
summons to answer the charge.
"We had hoped that out of our
conferences some settlement could
have been reached," Green said,
after the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers failed to appear. -
"That waa their primary pur
pose. Unfortunately they refused
to come. That makes It very dif
ficult tor the council."
- Sidney Hillmnn, president of
the Amalgamated, told the council
by letter he did not think tt nec
essary for him to appear and that
the council well understood his
views.
Lewis, Hlllman and six other
union presidents set up the com
mittee for Industrial organisation
to bring all workera in each big
industry Into one big union. This
plan was opposed by the craft
unionists who control the A. F.
of L. executive council.
Green expressed himself again
as "hopeful" some form of set
tlement could be reached to avert
the suspension desired by a ma
jority of the council members. ,

Fair Weather Oora On
Government meteorologist J. R.
Lloyd at Chicago made this a
"blue Monday ' for harassed farm
ers In the breadbasket of Amer
ica and tbe gasping urban dwell
ers when he announced no new
rains were In sight for the north
west or any other heat baked
area.
He said generally fair weather
with torrid temperatures would
continue today and tomorrow for
drought areas In general, but
that cooler weather was likely In
the eastern section ot the north
west Tuesday.
Purely local showers were fore
cast for North Dakota and north
western Minnesota, and tor North
Dakota, northern Minnesota,
northwestern Wisconsin and up
per Michigan tomorrow.
Some Areas May Be Aided
There waa hope, Lloyd said, of
relief from the Intense beat lu
Illinois, where prostration haa
taken almost 200 lives, and states
to the east, possibly by Wednes
day, hut he could not sight the
urgently needed rain for the ma
jor corn states Illinois, Iowa,
Nebraska and Indiana.
He explained that a new cool
wave, moving down from the
northern Pacific statea, probably
would bring, cooler weather 'to
morrow to the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Minnesota, northwestern Wiscon
sin, upper Michigan and the ex
treme northern portion ot lower
Michigan.
When this Joins with the cool
wave which halted at the western
border of middle America yester
day It is likely tbe combined
rorces of the two will be able to
break the mass ot heat, possibly
Wednesday over the central
atatea, he added.

sections it also lifted the fire
