WASHINGTON, June 10—The U. 8. Chamber of Commerce is telling its.members that the political ‘arms of organized labor are going to ‘be active in this country for a long time. They are no temporary phenomena-—that is the conclusion this national body of businessmen reports on the CIO Political Action Committee and the AFL's League for Political Education, The report also contains a suggestion that may result in business organizing for poiitical action on the pattern set by: “the lator leaders.
