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...
Because of the wide interest
in guarding ground water re
sources, the largest hearing
room in the capitol was reserved
for the 2. p.m. hearing by the
House Commerce and Utilities
Committee headed by Rep. 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.
