...Tampa, Fla. to act as peacemaker in Labor's biggest internal struggle of the generation. At Tampa this week the A. F. of L. holds its annual convention, and the old leaders, heirs of the late Samuel Gompers, headed by President William Green, were preparing finally to expel the insurgent new "industrial" unions headed by John L. Lewis and a corps of aggressive young associates.

O. unions, they could not get into the Convention to vote and hence their ultimate expulsion would be virtually certain. Reasonably Mr. Dubinsky offered to promise on behalf of five C. I. O. unions that they would let the issue be decided at the Convention...
