Breach Widening
The AFL has virtually burned its bridges as far as the Truman administration is concerned.
Almost every action of the AFL these days opens the breach wider.
Robert J. Watt, AFL representative on the Wage Stabilization Board, continually files blistering dissents charging that the government's wage policy is pro-CIO and benefits CIO strikers.
AFL President William Green refuses to nominate a candidate for the post as second assistant secretary of labor since the first assistant secretaryship was filled by the appointment of John W. Gibson, former Michigan CIO director.
The AFL was miffed by Gibson's appointment, contends it always held the first post in the past.
AFL officials, too, have slugged the government's wage program, and particularly Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles.
