AFL Plans Unity Talks With CIO Face Labor Split
Washington May 24 The AFL executive council authorized more unity talks with the CIO while vetoing a White House plan for a fraternal visit by President Green and CIO President Murray to England. The council rejected an admin proposal, noting such a trip would clash with AFL policy on international labor relations. The CIO has been excluded from an Anglo American committee, with a London meeting planned for July. Some see the friction as delaying labor unity despite hints that John L Lewis and United Mine Workers may rejoin, speeding consolidation.
