WASHINGTON. April II. An abou
face is the New Deals relations with
organized labor is under way Whe-
ther it is completed depends largely
on the outcome Of certain private
conversations
If it does go through, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor will be
top dog with the administration and
the previously favored c. l. o. will
take back seat.
Crucial point is the matter of
Truman Arnold's antitrust cam
paign. with its indictment of divers
A. F. of L. unions and union leaders
If the administration will call Ar
mold off. it will get A. F.. of L.
Friendship notably In the building
trades group, where Republican in
fluence normally is strong. If the
administration won't muzzle Ar
mold. the deal is off.

c. l. o They enclude enlargement
of the board to five members, pro-
vision for employer-petitions for an
election. and stipulation for craft
unions in all cases where the ma
iOrlty of any craft so desires
President Green of the A. F. of l..
has okayed these changes and swung
federation support behind them.
President Lewis of the c. l. O. has
denounced them as "A declaration
Of war on industrial unions"
The understanding is that the A.
F. cf l. would like to make the
marriage permanent, on TWO con-
dltionS:
/. That all of Arnold'5 antitrust
law indictments against labor be
dropped. except one which would
be considered a test case.
. That the Department of Jus
tice make il a matter Of policy not
to consider labor unions and cOrpo-
rationS as Identical entities before
