/ The American Federation of
Labor Executive Council today
invited the Congress of Indus
trial Organizations Peace Com
mittee to confer here Thursday
on merger of the two big labor
organizations.
AFL President William Green an
nounced the invita- ton after a meet
ing Of the council to discuss general
problems, including the prospect that
Congress will enact sharp restrict
ions on labor union activities.
Mr.. Green said telegram was
sent to CLIO President Philip Muir
ray suggesting the meeting.
The groups have made frequent
gestures toward union, but no real
progress in that direction
The councils decision to bring up
the matter again at this time ap-
peared to be traceable to the crisis
building up for labor unions in the
form of legislation in Congress.
The CLIO has insisted that before
organic unity" can be discussed,
both organlZa t1onS-With a total of
more than 13,500,O00 members
must cooperate in fighting restric-
tive national and State legislation.
Up to now. in the exchange of
communications between the two
groups, the AFL has contended that
efTectjve co-onerotio,, w that Eall
can only be achieved by actual
merger of the two groups.
Five-Man Committees.
Each organization has a COM
mittee of five empowered to discuss
a merger.
The AFL committee is composed
OF Mr.. Green, John L. Lewis of the
Miners, William L. Hutcheson of
the Carpenters, Daniel j. Tobin of
the Transfers and George Meany.
secretary-treasurer of the AFL.
The CLIO committee includes Mr..
Murray, Walter P. Reuther of the
Auto Workers, Emil Rieve of the
Textile workers, Jacob Potofsky of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers and Albert J. Fitzgerald of the
United Electrical Workers.
The AFL council is scheduled to
meet here for about two weeks.
Thus the Federation's policy
making group will be on hand for
most. if not all, of the Senates
debate on a committee softened
labor bill which some members have
pledged to try to tougher up on the
floor
Debate on the measure is sched-
uled to begin Wednesday.
Privately some members of the
AFL Executive Council voiced conf
dence that President Truman would
veto the legislation if it follows the
design of the Hartley bill which
went through the House last week
by majority of nearly 3 to l.
AFL Might Alter Policy.
Underneath this confident air
however, was the statement of
Mr.. Meany last week that if the
Republicans persist in adopting
policy toward organized labor SINH
lar to the Hartley bill, the 66-year-
old federation may abandon its ira
ditional non-partisan policy in the
l948 elections.
Many politicians regarded this as
a threat to join forces with the
