Lufkin.
He received a deep gash on his
arm and a wrnched back. Taken
to a specialist in Dallas, he was
advised to remain in the hospital ,
for at least a week or ten days.
Reichman was all for taping him-
self up and coming along anyway.
“If you take him out now,”
the doctor told Barbour, “neith-

can be responsible for his con-

HOUSTON Oct. 5—(P— American
Federation of Labor leaders, well
informed sources said today, may
reply indirectly to President Roose-
velt's appeal for labor peace by dis-
approving a resolution calling on the
58th annual convention to order
reopening of the unity conference
with John L. Lewis’ CIO.
The resolution, submitted by dele-
gates from the Hotel and Restaur-
ant employees International alli-
ance. demanded that the CIO peace
negotiations broken off last Decem-
ber be renewed immediately.
It also asked’tht thp A. F. of
L. recognize the policy of indus-
. trial unionism advocated by CIO
Chairman Lewis for mass produc-
tion industries. \
Any possibility that the resolu-
• tions committee might approve the
resolution was virtually exploded
