The suggestion for a l3DOr-Tndn- agement conference was interpreted by AFL leaders as desperate CIO ruse for the Government to come to it's rescue. Shaky from inner feudS with Communist leaders and from the impact of outside eco- homie pressureS, the CIO was furth- CT weakened by defectionS from its ranks and more and more unions bidding to rejoin the AFL.
 By contrast, developments at the Executive Council meeting con- firmed that the AF.L is now at peak strength and growing more powerful all the time. Outstanding development at the closing sessions were:
 1. Chartering of a new union, the 106th in the Federation'S family, with 5000 members. Its name is the National Farm Labor Union. Most of its members are employed on big plantations in the South.
 ?. Creation of new department within the AFL to be known as the Maritime Trades Department. Start ing with a nucleus of five powerful unions whose members are engaged in shipping and waterfront activity, the new organization will set out to wipe out Communist influence in the maritime industry. It will hold it's Constitutional convention in Chicago Oct. 2.
 3. Announcement by Secretary Treasurer George Meany that the AFL's total paid-up membership hit an al1-time high of 7,O07, ,O00 as of July 31 and indications that this figure will go up to 100000 by Aug. 31, the end of the AFL's fiscal year.
 The Executive Council also as- stunned militant leadership in the field of foreign affairs Develop ments included:
 1. Strong denunciation of the continued use of slave labor and forced labor by European countries. coupled with 8 demand that goods made by such oppressed workers be barred from world trade.
 2. Appointment of two fraternal delegates from the AF'L to the forthcoming convention of the Bri tish Trades Union Congress in Eng land. They are Thomas Kennedy. Secretary Treasurer of the United MIine Workers of America. and Ed J. Brown, President of the Inter-
