The CLA campaigns for better children's literature and conducts an annual Young (Canada book week, which has been credited with stimulating formation of several children's libraries and the pub- lication of better books for young- sters.

Fifty per cent of Montreal's lake seamen are unemployed and those on ships are wondering whether they'll see the season through, a survey showed Thursday. Normally, about one-quarter of the total lake seamen force of 6,000 comes from here. At present, some 00 men are waiting for jobs. Reason for the situation is slow movement of grain from the Lake- head. Herbor-opening at Montreal found some 13,000,000 bushels of unsold grain stored here, with no large export sales in immediate prospect. This resulted in lake shipping operators putting only about half their fleets into service.

Heads Of Major Unions At Parley In Washington WASHINGTON (AP) The presidents of the three major United States labor unions planned to meet here today to discuss ways their organizations "can be of as- sistance to each other." Announcement of the meeting by Dave Beck of the AFL teamsters in Chicago Thursday night brought speculation that a big labor merger is in the works. Beck said he would meet with John L. Lewis of the independent United Mine Workers and David J. McDonald of the CIO Steel Workers' Union. Beck, before leaving for Wash- ington, declined to discuss the sub- ject matter of today's meeting. Neither Lewis nor McDonald was immediately available for com- ment. Beck told a reporter he has no authority from the AFL council to invite Lewis and McDonald to join the American Federation of Labor. However, in an address Thursday at a conference of his union, the teamsters' chief said: WANTS UMW TOO "I not only want the CIO to join the AFL in a common labor or- ganization, I also v. .nt the United Mine Workers and other independ- ent organizations. . . . and I would utilize every resource at my com- mand to aid and assist in bring- ing that about." H told a reporter that he per- sonally is "greatly in favor" of | asking the mine workers to join the federation. Beck, who also is an AFL vice- president, told the conference he is '"10 per cent for unity within the trade union movement." George Meany, AFL president, he knew "nothing whatever" about the rumor that Beck intended to invite Lewis and McDonald into the AFL.
