the meeting.
Both rival leaders William
Green of the AFL and Philip Mur
ray of the CIO asserted in ad
vance of their huddle that they
have an "open mind" about how to
solve the major obstacles to unity.
But little optimism could be found
in either camp over the prospect of
an early consolidation of the AFL'
7.500,000 and CIO's 6,000,000 mem
bers. Murray thinks the two groups
should demonstrate their solidarity
first In fighting off common foes,
wherever they may be. After that,
would come talk about physical con
solidation.
The AFL leadership wants the
unions In the CIO to come back
under the federation's banner pos

the first step. Then cooperation
