AFL-CIO President George
Meany has maintained that
reports of internal dissension
are exaggerated. He has said
interunion rivalries inevitably
heat up when unemployment is
high and subside when jobs
become more plentiful.
Mr.. Meany. who was the last
president Of the old AFL, has
been criticized by industrial
unionists for lack of vigor in
handling the disputes. Militant
industrial unionists also have
grumbled that he has failed to
push hard enough on civil
rights and on organizing non
union workers.
But the IUD report avoided
any direct attacks on Mr..

rumors that Mr.. Reuther

In addition to giving Mr..
Reuther instructions for the
AFL-CIO convention, the IUD
delegates are expected to adopt

politics and civil rights.
Mr.. Reuther in his report re-
jected the idea Of establishing
State and local IUD councils in
the immediate future. Such
action would aggravate divisive
tendencies in the AFL-CIO.
The report credited the Ken

claimed by both industrial and

sharpest conflicts have arisen
over campaigns by the build

employers to engage outside

work.
Mr.. Reuther charged in his
report that the Building and
