LABOUR UNREST
AMERICAN EXTBEJIISTS BREAK WITH GOVERNMENT INDICATIONS INCREASING By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received July <>, G. 15 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 5 The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that the possibility of a break between President lloosevelt and Mr. John L. Lewis, leader of the Committee for Industrial Organisation, is becoming increasingly indicated. The belief is gaining momentum in C.LO. circles that the Government "has become scared and has
turned tail." It is understood that the Government feels that the C.LO. movement is taking in too much territory and moving too rapidly. Mutterings are being heard that the President is "scuttling militant and progressive Labour."
Recent remarks by Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labour, and a statement made to-day by the Secretary of Commerce, Mr. 1). C. lioper, hitting at extremists in the industrial conflict and giving warning that the public will not long bear unnecessary strife and disturbance, are believed to bo the first guns in the Government's campaign against Mr. Lewis and his organisation.
