AFL Will Make
 New Attempt To Unite With CIO

CHICAGO, (P) - AFL leaders indicated yesterday they would make one more try at bringing about merger with the CIO, but they held out little hope it would be successful.
 President William Green said the l5-man executive council, meeting here, would make another statement on the negotiations toward unity which began last winter.
 Green said that both the AFL and CIO had agreed to work for organic unity when committees for the two organizations met in May. However, the AFL wanted immediate merger on its terms, while the CIO preferred to devel- op details slowly, while working together for common goals.
 The 74-year-old AFL president has kept quiet about his plans for continuing in office, but the word is getting around among counc' l members that he wants 10 be re- elected at the San Francisco con- vention, beginning October 6.
 Green has been president of the AFL since the death of Samuel Gompers in 1924. A former secre- tary- treasurer of the United Mine Workers, he was John L. Lewis candidate for the post, and was in- strumental in getting Lewis to bring the miners union back to the AFL in January, l946.
 Green and Lewis were at odds for 10 years after the united mine workers chief organized the ClO and led the exodus of industrial unions from the craft-loving AFL Later Lewis withdrew from the CIO which he founded, and now he is back on the influential AFL executive council, in a position 10 help dictate AFL policy.
 Daniel J. Tobin of the teamsters and William l.. Hutcheson of the carpenters, who with Lewis make up the big three on the council, also have endorsed Green for an other term in the presidency if he wants it.

Mr.. Garren held it in allegiance
after consultation with City Man

The Gamewell Co. organized and
financed a taxpayers" committee,

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-P)-Despite a
decrease of one million in the city's
population, Berlin has a higher
school enrolment than it had in
1888 and is attempting to handle
it with less than half it's pre-War

The school enrolment in this
city of three million now totals
450,617 children and youths. The
1888 enrolment was 431, 452 in the

schools.
The regular teaching staff has
declined from approximately H.

the city $2775, or rs per cent, more
than the Horni boxes. The Horni
boxes were offered for $25 less,
per box. than those of the Game
well Co.
Members Of a committee to
make recommendations on the bids
included City Manager A. C. Mich
OILS and City Clerk j.. R. Benson,
who was the city's purchas-
ing agent. MI. Nichols united with
City Electrician L. T. Garren in
advocating contract with
the Gamewell Co. Mr.. Benson Of
fered a separate report recon-
mending purchase of the Horni
boxes.
A spirited controversy began.
Fire Station Digest said, in its &C
count of the fight:
I'm answering, the assertion by
Manager Nichols and Electrician
Garren that the Horni box did not
comply with specifications, Ben
son, VINO on council instruction had
prepared the open specifica-
tons which were used for adver-
Using, said it was his considered
opinion that the Horni box does
substantially meet specifications.
'The specifications, as prepared
by Benson, were accepted by the
council several weeks ago, after
the drafting of specifications had
been taken out of the hands of
City Electrician Garren, who was
charged with writing them around
the Gamewell box and excluding
competitive companies from bid
ding.
THE purchasing agent Getty
Clerk Benson, who is now City
Manager, said he seriously ques-
