1t has been several days since the

Union Chiefs Resume
Merger Discussion;
Silent on Progress
By jones Y. Newton

AFL and CIO leaders resumed
their unity talks today, with both
sides silent as to any real progress
being made, although they had
agreed to battle hard against union-
curbing legislation.
William Green, president of the
AFL, and CIO President Philip Muir
ray told reporters the 10 conferees
discussed merger of the labor organ
izations as well as united action in
the legislative field They refused
to say what progress was made in
working out any joint campaign.
The CIO has insisted that labor
should first show it can work to-
gether before any serious considera-
ton is given to an actual merger.
The AFL has held that organic
unity" should come first. It was not
clear what effect these opposing
views had on the first talks yes
terday.
Cooperation Discussed
Both Mr.. Green and Mr.. Murray
said the first six-hour session
brought about full discussion of
unity, solidarity and perfect, COM
plete cooperation in dealing with
our problems.
They added the organizations were
united in opposition to pending
labor legislation, but there was no
indication of what joint action, If
any, might be taken.
I'VE engaged in very interesting
and friendly discussion of our COM
mon problems" Mr.. Green said.
I'VE discussed labor legislation as
well as organic unity in the labor
movement. 1t was the opinion OF
both sides that we made definite
progress in dealing with the difficult
ties of both questions,
Murray Comments.
II would just like ito supplement
what Mr.. Green said by stating that
we covered the field fairly well here
today" Mr.. Murray observed. I'VE
gave each other a real understand
ing of our common problems. AS a
result of the discussions I believe
we have a greater appreciation of
the situation, particularly as it af-
fects labor.
1--WE are, of course, united In op-
position to pending labor legisla-
ton. We probed the problem OF
organic unity and decided to con-
tinue the conferences here tomor-
row."
John L. Lewis and other con-
ferees were silent as they left the
first session. The leaders of the
rival groups appeared friendly at
their first meeting in more than
four years. Mr.. Lewis shook hands
with Mr.. Murray, his one-time close
associate in both the United Mine
Workers and CIO.
