Union convention at the Hotel Roosevelt, said he had finished dickering for the last batch of contracts only a few hours earlier. They will expire between February and September, 19G4, and new pact3, he said, will then be worked out to end on the same day in 1967. "That doesn't mean, though, that we'll call nationwide strikes," he insisted.

No union, not even the Teamsters, can afford to finance a national strike on such a big scale. What we want is to stabilize the industry's labor costs and wipe out wage differentials between companies." GeU Plenty of Cheers HoiTa's appearance at Quill's convention marked the first time he has been invited to a national session of an AFL-CIO union since he and the Teamsters were thrown out of the federation in It was a huge success. He was loudly cheered numerous times during his 40-minute talk, especially when he urged creation ot a council of all land, sea and air transportation unions. Siffns reading "Hoffa, Welcome to TWU!" greeted his arrival. He was applauded when he promised not to raid TWU airline members.

More cheers came when he urged labor unity to combat anti-union legislation and when he asked financial backing for men striking' the Ford Motor Co.

Quill said he would hand the resolution to Federation President George Meany Monday when the AFL-CIO's 104-man general board meets at the Hotel Commodore.

And if Meany smothers it, I'll take this resolution to the AFL-CIO convention in December in Florida," Quill shouted. I don't like Meany's double standard.
