AFL INVITES Clio
TO MERGER TALKS
Threat OF Congressional
Restriction On Labor
Spurs Unity Move

WASHINGTON, April 81. Up
The threat of severe congressional
restrictions on labor union activi-
ty spurrer the AFL today to in
vite the CLIO to meet Thursday
and talk about merger.
The spark of unity which had
heavy fine, had all but died out
in an exchange Of letters which
followed between the AFL and
CLIO.
But passage of the Hartley la
Dor bill in the House last week,
and the scheduled start Of Senate
debate on the Senate Labor com
mittee bill next Wednesday stirred
the AFL leaders to revive tn e
merger move. The AFL executive
council Of Is top leaders began a
two week session today.
Wires Invitation
ALL President william Green
wired CLIO Chief Philip Murray,
proposing a meeting Thursday at
ll:W a.. m, EST. at the Statler
hotel. There a s no. immediate
comment from Murray.
However, he had suggested on
March 10 that the AFL fix a time
and place for a meeting. At the
time, few thought. the AFL would
take hi m up on that proposal.
There is little doubt that the
threat OF legislation which both
the AFL and CLIO have described
as "anti-labor" inspired today's
move. =
Merger would create a labor
organization of more than 13,5OO,-
700 members.
The CLIO has taken the position
that consolidation cannot come
before the two organizations dem
onstrate that they can cooperate
In fighting common foes. The AL
up to now has contended that
merger should come first, and
that a unified fight against legls-
lation would follow naturally.
