Q.-What Is the present membership
Of the American Federation of Labor
A.--The American Federation Of
Labor Executive Council reported as
follows to the Detroit convention, Just
held: "The average paid-up and re-
ported membership for the year is
2,s13,e10. National and international
organizations are required to pay only
the per capita tax upon their full
paid-up membership, and therefore,
the membership reported does not in
elude all the members involved in
strikes and lockouts, or those who are
unemployed during the fiscal year, for
whom tax was not received. A sur
vey of the membership Of the national
and International organizations and
the unions directly affiliated with the
A. F. Of L. indicates that because OF
strikes or unemployment there were
At least 100000 members for whom
per capita tax was not paid to the
A. F. Of L. Adding this number to
the 2,s13, $40 paid-up membership will
give : grand total Of 3,313,910 mem-
bers."
