Try To End Labor War

NEW YORK-The Roosevelt Administration and rank-and-file unionists tonight exerted new pressure upon seven American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations peace-negotiators for an early settlement of their three-year war.

Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins cited growing sentiment of A. F. of L. and C. I. O. members for peace and declared that she hoped the "employers, workers, their unions and officials, now that peace negotiations are going on, will do everything they can in a constructive way to advance the chances for successful negotiation of the differences between the A. F. of L. and C. I. O."

The new Administration attempt to enlist public opinion behind the peace effort came as the A. F. L. - C. I. O. conferees themselves admitted privately that they saw little likelihood of settling immediately their struggle for supremacy.
