Murray said it represented the
first signed agreement between the
AFL and CIO since 1885, when the
CI0 was formed.
Murray, his cheeks flushed pink,
smiled gently, and said with appar-
ent emotion that not only was a
committee thereby set up to decide
jurisdictional disputes, but that
real progres had been made
toward organic unity.
President Daniel J. Tobin, of the
international Bro t h r h 90 of
Teamsters and Chauffeurs (AFL),
agreed, and, throughout the re-
marks that followed, the words "or-
ganic unity" were repeated several
times.
Sessions of the AFL-CIO peace
committee had begun the previous
day. For several hours, while cor
respondents pitched pennies in the
wide corridors, or stood under
transoms trying to catch his words,
the booming voice of Tobin issued
forth in long excited sentences.
Occasionally Murray's low tones
emerged, but not often.
At the end of the first day
President Harry C. Bates of the
Bricklayers' Union (AFL), chair
man of the AFL group, looking
amiable himself as he led the mas
sive and silent President William
L. Hutcheson, of the Carpenters
Union (AFL), out the door, said to
reporters:
"It was a very amicable meeting.
Well have another at 10 o'clock
tomorrow"
Skeptics among the reporters al
lowed as to how nothing would
come of it. No, they'd never get
together, the CIO and the AFL.
When, then, the following day,
not only joint agreement (tenta-
lively subscribed to pending its
adoption by both executive boardsl /
was signed, but it was apparent
that the labor leaders felt most
hopeful about coming unity and
that soon - photographers became
excited.
Here, Mr.. Murray, here are you
and Mr.. Bates, representing these
great labor organizations that are
now friends. Let's show it-put |
your arms around each other, will |
you?" one Of them pleaded.
This was too much for the mod
est Murray, and Bates was equally |
about it, but each hes
itated, not wanting to be less than
in the new spirit of
unity, when Dan Tobin came to
the rescue gruffly.
Jaw, gwan, take your picture"
he said to the cameraman, and the
two men relaxed. Then, to Secre-
tary-Treasurer julius Emspak, of
the United Electrical Radio and
Machine Workers Union (CIO), |
Tobin said, Here, bend over lit
tie. And I'll get in here"
And, with Hutcheson towering
at the other end, the picture was
made. President r. j. Thomas of
the United Automobile Workers
(CIO) had had to depart earlier
for an appointment.
1--WE are convinced that if peace
negotiations are to be successful"
began the signed statement, "and

"As the checkered course Of the

whenever the goddess of liberty
has taken private competitive busi-
ness as her welded husband, the
happy marriage has been blessed.
But when the eternal triangle
has appeared and she has yielded
to the blandishments of the plaus-
ible Lothario of compulsory eco
nomie planning, such unholy union
has not only proven streile in re-
spect to physical progress but has
always been dissolved eventually in
the court of dictatorship"
