F. of L. set August 3rd as the date for trial of the 12 unions on charges that they broke away from the federation and at tempted to set up a rival organiza tion. These charges are founded on C. I.

Time was set aside for Lewis and his allies to defend themselves before the board. They failed to put in an ap pearance. Plan New Drive Now the C. I. O. announces plans for another unionization drive to start August Ist only two days be fore the trial date. This time it is the rayon industry which has attract ed the attention of the Lewis group. The vice president of the United Textile Workers, Francis Gorman, will head this campaign.
