O. vaingloriously claims 3,700,000 members, many of whom, however, are only members insofar as they have signed an application blank. The A. F. of L. after losing 1,000,000 members to C. I. O., claims 3,600,000 members, approximately the same number it had before the schism. Impartial estimates place the membership of the two rival labor groups at about...
