Water Resources Bill Discussed at Capital Salem (U.R) A bill designed to protect Oregons water re sources and the proposal to cre ate a -state water resources board, considered by many, par ticularly in the agricultural j, areas, to comprise one of the most important problems before the Legislature, was to be up for public hearing today...

Abel Hill, Cushman Republican. Belongs To Public The bill concerning regula tion of ground water resources House Bill 26 notes that "all water within this state from all sources of water supply belongs to the public and in order to protect the public interest, pro vision should be made to deter mine relative rights to approp riate ground water everywhere in Oregon. s The measure says the bene ficial use without waste should be "the basis, measure and ex tent of the right to appropriate ground water." It adds that de pletion of ground water below economic levels, impairment of natural quality of ground water by pollution and wasteful prac tices should "be prevented or controlled within practicable limits."

Washington U.R) The AFL CIO merger agreement is large ly the product of frustrations in politics and in union organiza tion. It is in these fields that the big new house of labor will push for power. The political frustrations of the two federations have center ed in the 1947 Taft-Hartley act and, more recently, in the labor and "economic policies of the Re publican administration. Also, since World War n, their membership has not grown beyond the 15,000,000 mark, while the civilian labor force has risen by 3,500,000 to about 63,500,000. But, as in any far-reaching agreement, the force of person alities was required to make the merger possible. With the death in 1952 of both long-time union leaders, AFL President William Green and CIO President Phil lip Murray, their successors brought new attitudes toward labor unity. Better Off Together AFL President George Meany was willing to negotiate with the CIO on the terms under which the CIO would return to the original house of labor after an absence of 20 years. And CIO President Walter Reuther be lieved that his organization and all of labor would be better off in partnership rather than in rivalry with the AFL. Henry G. Riter, president of the National Association of Man uacturers, greeted the merger agreement last week as a danger of "union monopoly" of labor. Rep. Ralph W. Gwinn (R.-N.Y.) of the House Labor committee, raised the same question. Meany's reply was that the new organization could hardly be called a monopoly since it will represent only 25 per cent of the civilian labor force. Opposed to Labor Party Botti Meany, who will head the new federation, and Reuth er, who may head its political arm, are opposed to the forma tion of a labor political party. But union officials foresee the possibility that a united labor movement may become the big gest power in the Democratic party. The federations hope, by com bining their political organiza-. tions, to be more effective in in fluencing the votes of individual members. CIO Political Action committee officials, for instance, estimate that only half of the CIO's 5,000,000 members voted in the 1954 elections and that, at best, perhaps three-fourths of those voters followed their lead ers in their ballot selections. Hope for Effective Lobby The federations also hope, by combining their forces, to carry more weight in matters of state and federal legislation, adminis tration policy and in political campaigns. So far, they have failed, separately, to get even the amendments they want for the Taft-Hartley act. They have chafed under new interpreta tions of the act by the first Re publican majority on the Na tional Labor Relations board. And they have failed to budge the "hands-off " policy of the Republican administration in la bor management disputes. One important political factor in the merger is the elimination of the opportunity for politi cians to play the two federations against each other, and, on the other hand, for . one federation to vie with the other for politi cal favor.
