COLUMBUS. Ohio, Jan. 25—John
L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O. has
turned his guns on the New Deal.
He launched into a severe criticism
of President Roosevelt and his ad-
ministration, Wednesday in an ad-

“Roosevelt” Lewis declared, “will
meet ignominous defeat in Novem-
ber, if he asks for a third term.
After Sevan years of power the
Democratic party finds itself with-
out solution for the labor problem*."
He warned that only a coalition
with labor will defeat the Republi-
cans in November.

nounced Garner and McNutt, two
other Democratic candidates for the
presidency.
