and Unionism BY DANIEL L. WELLS Free FreM Labor Editor "We have enunciated a great constructive program which we believe will use all the energies and services that each of us can put into it during the coming year." Thus President Philip Murray, In his closing speech before the fourth convention of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, summed up the work of the 494 delegates for the last week and outlined the course of the CIO for the coming year. Last Session Ends The convention adjourned at 11:25 a. m. Saturday in Moose Temple after a morning session attended by fewer than half of the delegates adopted 15 resolutions.

Last-minute work was dis posed of at a meeting Saturday afternoon ln the Hotel Statlcr of the CIO executive board. Murray presided and afterward said that he would remain in Detroit until Monday to get a good rest. Decisions reached by the board included Indorsement of letter replying to one received from Presi dent Roosevelt and appointment of a committee of 30 union officials to meet Tuesday with Lee Pressman, CIO general counsel, In Washington to discuss pending antilabor legislation. Circumventing Lewis Some observers, saw in. this a short-circuiting of Labor's Nonpartisan League which has a Washington bureau for this task.

The league's Washington office Is said largely to be controlled by John L. Lewis. The board sent Lewis a telegram expressing ap preciation for his action in accepting coal-strike arbitration. The officials also decided to send representatives to the Latin-Ameri can Labor Conference opening shortly in Mexico City and appointed a committee to call next week on California's Gov. Olsen to discuss the case of three prisoners, popularly known as "California's last labor martyrs." A joint conference of CIO unions interested in Aluminum Co.

of America employees was scheduled to "formulate a uniform policy." Still Bark Mediation After the meeting, Murray said that he remained interested ln Government mediation of labor disputes.

Capuzzo and Mastery of Air; Hit from Tobruk Br the Allocated FrM CAIRO, Nov. 22 British troops have captured Fort Capuzzo, Italian frontier outpost whose dusty stones have changed hands time and again in this war, reports from the front said tonight.

Eighty miles to the west, the British Tobruk garrison burst out of Axis lines after seven months of siege and desert heat and began slashing deep into the Axis rear. The large force of German tanks encircled in a huge triangle between the frontier and Tobruk appeared in danger of being cut to ribbons. Drive Wedge into Foes The main British armored forces which thrust straight past the Axis border defenses five days ago almost to already were reported officially to have driven a deep wedge into the Panzer divisions trapped in the A third and frontal threat to the Axis positions appeared to have developed with the capture of Fort Capuzzo, which is about 12 miles from the coast The Germans and Italians still were holding, their extreme left wing positions about Salum and Halfaya Pass, and their extreme right positions farther inland, however. While speedy, American-made tanks charged through the sands and attacked trapped Panzer forces in a battle of annihilation, returning British airmen declared that "we have complete mastery of the air." Planes in Swarms "We have got 1 a a in swarms," said one of them. An RAF officer returning from the front said tonight, "I counted 46 fighters going out to strafe Gambut, a big Nazi base.

All but two returned. "Our bombers are having a field day. They knock out tanks, even guns. I talked to a pilot who went on a big raid against enemy positions near Tobruk. His first bomb hit a tank which burst Into flames.

He then went on to an antiaircraft gun and knocked it out clean." Flying Fortresses Used For the first time in African warfare, American-built, four-motored Flying Fortresses were being used to blast Axis airfields and depots far behind the front, while Hurricane fighters, converted into bombers, bombed and strafed at short range from air fields which only five days ago Turn to Page 2, Column 4 239'RmET' Die in Serbia Br the AMoelated FreM BERLIN.

A $500,000 FIND Is Accepted; Pits to Open Conciliator Steelman Will Decide Issue; President Still Backs Curb on Walkouts Br the Aeeoelated rreu WASHINGTON. Nov.

22 The captive coal-mine strike was ended today In an agreement that its issue be submitted tr arbitration with both sides bound in advance to accept the results. At the continued entreaty of President Roosevelt the policy committee of the United Mine Workers (CIOl voted ly to send its men into the pits on uiese terms at once. John L. Lewis, the Union's president, said that the decision was made "ln -the public interest." Surprise to Observers It came, hawever, as a sharp surprise to those who have kept in close touch with the mine controversy, because Lewis personally rejected the plan earlier In the week. Mr.

Roosevelt's statements on the dispute had so prejudiced the public mind, Lewis said then, that it would be extremely difficult to find an im. partial arbiter. But the Chief Executive, who had said that the mining of coal must be resumed because it was essential to the national-defense program, persisted. He addressed another of his several letters to Lewis and the CIO union before today's policy committee meeting, and named the arbiter In advance of the union's concurrence. Steelman Chosen He was Dr.

John R. Steelman, head of the Labor Department's Conciliation Service, a man of long and varied experience In me seiuement or labor disputes. Technically, Mr. Roosevelt ap- puimea a ooara or arbitration with Steelman as chairman, Lewis as a second member and Benjamin F. Falrless, president of uii.j ouues isieei as the third.

Under the circumstances, how. ever, It was obvious that the decision would be reached by Steelman, alone, after hearing Lewis and Falrlesa r)reHnt th.ir cases. Secretary of Labor ranees immediately relieved Steelman of all duties In the Labor Denartment that he might devote his full time to me captive-mine case. To Arrange for Meeting Steelman said that hn wnnM vf In touch with Lewis and Fairlesa as soon as possible, probably tomorrow, and arrange for the nrhi. tration meeting.

Despite settlement nf th strike, Chairman Mary Norton, New Jersey Democrat, of the House Labor Committe a White House conference today mai i-resiaent Roosevelt approved of her committee reporting some bill to curb defense strikes. Mrs. Norton told reporters that the President "thinks it is quite important that we should decide on some bill." Quick Action Is Sought She added that she told the President that the 'committee hoped to have a bill ready next week. "We want to prepare a bill," she said, "that will not harm the existing labor laws and at the same time try to cover the present situation." Rep.

Norton said that Labop had "forced" on Congress the necessity to act because "after1 all the country takes precedence ovr Labor or anyone else." (Learning of the settlement of the coal strike, the CIO ex- ecutive board, meeting in Detroit Saturday afternoon, sent the following telegram to Lewis: ('The executive board of the CIO conveys its appreciation to the United Mine Workers of America and its policy committee for the splendid contribution which it has made to the nation ln accepting arbitration of its captive coal-mine dispute in the effort to arrive at a satisfactory solution of this problem.

Sympathy strikes spread Into the commercial field. The steel companies quickly began to feel the pinch and steel production for the defense program had to bj curtailed. On Wednesday, Mr.

Although the atmosphere was Improved, it was tinged with a realization that the negotiations were in critical stage. Four Envoys Present Present at the meeting with Secretary Hull were Viscount Halifax, the British ambassador; Dr.

Hu Shih, the Chinese Ambassador; Richard G. Casey, the Australian minister, and Dr. A. Loudon, minister of The Netherlands, jit was the first time Hull had conferred with them together since the discussions got under way with the Japanese envoys, Admiral Klchisaburo Nomura and Saburo Kurusu. The Chinese Ambassador Joined the conference near its close, having been urgently summoned from a sickbed.

No Conclusion Reached After the conference, a State Department spokesman said: "The discussion concerned all phases of the international situation-in which the countries represented were interested. There was no occasion to reach any conclusion at this time." Secretary Hull received the Japanese envoys informally in his apartment tonight for a resumption of their conversations. The results of that talk presumably were reported promptly by the Japanese to Tokio so that a reac tion could be received In time for the conversations to continue early in the new week. Hull's Tone Moderate The five-power meeting today served to underline the fact that there is no desire to apply economic pressure against Japan without real cause, and that there is no urge to go to war in the Pacific. This is reflected in the moderate tone Hull is taking.

On the other hand, he is not entering into any discussions for a general settlement at the expense of China. He is keeping China, Great Britain and the other interested Governments informed. City to Miss Extreme Cold The worst of a cold wave sweeping through the prairie states Saturday will miss Michigan but the Weather Bureau predicted, temperatures will be below freezing in Detroit Sunday and a lasting fall of snow appeared likely. The forecast for Sunday called for snow, possibly heavy, and lower temperatures with snow flurries continuing through Monday. The bureau said that the mercury might drop to 20 degrees Monday morning.

Temperatures in the cold area ranged all the way from 21 below at Butte, the coldest spot on the weather map, to freezing at other stations. There was snow In parts of Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, western Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Texas. City Sees Army butataPricc Not without its cost was the Armistice Day parade which brought 1,200 troops from Fort Custer to the city. Parade officials In checking over their reports Saturday found that they had put $340 on the line for gasoline to bring the men in uniform to the line of march and get them back to camp. Army officials at the Fort were perfectly willing to put their men on review but had no allotment from the Government.

The money that finally got them here was taken from an appropriation of $500 given to the parade committee by the Common Council.

It hung in the St. Mary's galleries until about six years ago when it was lost. Several months ago the portrait was found and Father Gregory determined to find out who painted it. "I examined books, photos and prints until I found three pictures of the stigmatization of St Francis by Giotto," said Father Gregory, Adding that after careful comparison with the St. Assist he concluded that it was painted by the Italian artist.

Giotto was a leader in the revival of art in the Renaissance period. "No artist," said Father Gregory, "surpassed him in technical proficiency during his time. He was never surpassed in solemnity, religious feeling and original BY EDWARD W. BEATTIE United Pree Cormpoodeat LONDON, Nov. 22 German armies smashed with increasing fury against Russian defense lines tonight on approaches to Moscow in "probably the greatest battle ever fought," but the Red Army was reported "firmly stemming the onslaught' after giving up some areas covered with thousands of German dead and hundreds of wrecked tanks.

The Moscow radio, broadcasting results of thrte days of furious fighting, acknowledged that despite heavy losses the enemy "continues to press toward Moscow with superiority of tanks, but is unable to breach our defenses." Tonight's official communique said that more than 300,000 German soldiers and officers have been annihilated in the current drive. Some Ground Regained The German advances were reported to have been made in the Tula sector in a huge infantry and tank drive on Mozhaisk (west of Moscow) and near Kalinin, but some of the ground was regained in counterattacks. Fighting of growing Intensity was reported in the Tula sector, 100 miles south of Moscow. (The Germans claimed that they had pierced Russian defenses south of the capital, probably at Tula.) It was acknowledged that the Germans had made gains on the Rostov front. (Berlin claimed the capture of Rostov, gateway to the Caucasus oil fields.) Nazi Losses Reported Big 'The defenders of Rostov are fighting courageously, but were forced to retreat under pressure of numerically superior enemy forces," the radio said.

'The Germans are suffering heavy losses." In two days the Russians reported they had destroyed more than 50 tanks near Rostov and wiped out two German infantry battalions. But, as on the Moscow front, the Germans were said to be massing new forces. A new burst of fighting also was reported on the Lenigrad front. (A British radio broadcast, heard by CBS, reported that the Germans were landing parachute troops to reinforce their positions before Leningrad.) Although the British viewed the German gains on the Rostov front gravely," interest centered in what appeared to be a climatic Axis drive for Moscow. Situation Termed Tense 'The situation at Tula remains tense," the Moscow radio quoted the newspaper Pravda.

"The enemy has succeeded in pressing the Russians back at several places. In some sectors, German tanks have Infiltrated into our lines to the northeast Oof Tula) In an attempt to by-pass the city." The radio said that after four days of fighting in the Tula sector, the Germans had smashed into several villages and reached the outskirts of the city, where fighting continued. West of Moscow, the Germans also were reported to have taken important ground in the Mozhaisk-Volokolamsk sector, having thrown four infantry divisions (40,000 Turn to Page 3, Column 5 Twin Launching U.S. 'Note' to Nazis KEARNY, N.

It was, labeled "Jobs" on the outside, and In the bag were promised orders for 217,000 trucks for the Army. 1 Sidney Hillman brought the Christmas stocking to Detroit on the eve of the CIO convention The night of his arrival. The Associated Press reported from Washington that the Army had decided to accede to appeals of Gov.

Michigan's Capt Bob Westfall, an All-America fullback if there ever was one, scored the tying touchdown on a 5-yard smash with six minutes to play. With the score tied. 20 to 20, Bill Melzow, the ace Woverine place-kicker who already had converted twice, rushed Into the game. Davey Nelson held the ball, but Melzow's effort twisted off to the left. Thus Michigan and Ohio State ended in a tie for the first time in their rivalry since the 3-3 deadlock of 1910.

It was a game which will go Into the record books along with Michigan's 17-16 victory of 1926 as one of the greatest games in the 3S-game rivalry. Twice Ohio State was in front, 7 to 0 and 20 14, Twice Michigan tied it up. Once Michigan took the lead, 14 to 7, and Ohio roared back. A Grent Game It was a give-and-take exhibition unsurpassed in ferocity or in spectacular plays in any game witnessed in recent yars. Not until the contest ended did the excited fans fully realize that they had witnessed one of the truly great football games of all time.

The underdog Ohio State team, coached by youthful Paul Brown, gave by far its best performance in holding this rugged Michigan team to a tie. The Buckeyes refused to concede a thing. While it was a tie contest, the Ohio State fans couldn't have been more happy with a victory. Brown, Jwt a year removed from the JiRh school ranks, had brought back the Ohio State team which surrendered, 40 to 0, to Michigan year ago until it held the mighty Wolverines on even terms. Consequently Michigan and Ohio state finished in a tie for second in the Western Conference standings.
