WASHINGTON--President Roosevelt tonight called representatives of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations to meet at the White House at 2:30 P. M. Tuesday to begin conference designed to bring peace in their three-year struggle for supremacy.
Mr. Roosevelt will participate in the meeting as will Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. He is expected to reiterate the appeal he made a week ago to CIO President John L. Lewis and Federation President William Green--that the warring labor factions sign a peace pact and unify under one banner for the common good of the people and the country.
Serious obstacles -- including those of dual unionism and an AFL -- CIO fight over whether any changes should be made in the Wagner Labor Relations Act--loomed on the are of the conference.
