OREGON PAGE THREE Writer (Gives Significance KEW YORK W Her are some questions tnd answers on the new united labor organization, the AFUCIO: What Is itt The AFL with 108 national unions and the CIO with 30 have banded together In a single association of unions. t How big Is It? The Labor Department, In a re cent official report, estimated AFL i ki. a, inonnnnn the CIO's at 6.200,000. tor a total 01 over 16 million. But oiiicibi ; the new AFL-CIO claim only la million.

But AFL-CIO officials at the lo cal state and national level naU ura'lly will speak with more au 4orW and influence than was true when there were two such Ollimma- . . eitiifliinn would be the two main business associations combined, the National Assn. of Manufacturers and U. 8. .Chamber ii commerce. The fusion would not necessarily mean Increased power but It would certainly point '. wurun'ion labor be more radical ' or more conservative? . ; Traditionally the AFL has been more conservative than the CIO. It appears likely that in the blend in? of the two a middle ground will be reached with the organi zation inclined to a bit more mod- "rsTa" already been indicated in resolutions adopted by the AFL CIO convention and "i suggestions that the AFL-CIO should work out , live-and-let-live- arrangement with American Industry. Who are the top active AFL-CIO 0fGeorge Meany. 61-year-old ex plumber, has been elected presi dent and William Schnltzler. one time bakery worker, secretary insurer. Both held similar post, in the AFL. Meany will get 35, 000 annual salary, Schnltzler $33. ioo. the same pay they drew with ""whahas happened to Walter Reuther. the former CIO chief? Reuther, stepping aside lor Meany to become one of 21 AFL CIO vice presidents will still head the 1,200,000-member United Auto Workers union and continue to be a very powerful Influence, possi bly second only to Meany. Reuther was well received In initial AFL CIO convention appearances.

All employes of both or ganizations are being retained and merged .Into one staff. ( What about John L. Lewis s United Mine Workers and other unions now out of the AFL-CIO? , The 15-year-old Lewis, founder of the now-merged CIO, has at one time or another been a power in both the AFL and CIO. He has held aloof of the AFL-CIO and said ' the merger can't endure. Never theless. the miners someday may join up. Independent railroad unions are actively considering entering the AFL-CIO. They are the Brother hood of Firemen and Enginemen and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, with a combined mem bership of nearly 300.000. The Labor Department estimates the asttregate 'membership of unions outside the AFL-CIO at 1.800.000. What is the new organization s official name? "It's the American Federation or Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. The separate AFL and CIO couldn't agree on a new name so to get around what was a real quarrel they Just kept both. Eventually, they may trim down this cumbersome title. How about mergers within the merger? A good deal of this Is expected. For Instance, the two textile work ers unions are talking of a con solidation. Separate paper workers units and meat industry unions have similar plans. Where are the areas of possible disagreement in the merged setup? The old feud among union lead ers about craft vs. Industrial or ganization still lies smouldering. This is the Issue that led to the secession two decades ago to found the CIO. ' Basically, It's this.
