Fresh Wave Of Strikes May Be Price
Of CIO Anti-Communist Cleanup
By BRUCE BIOSSAT
Civil war among the nation's electrical workers Is In the offing.
The CIO convention set the stage for it by expelling the leftist
United Electrical Workers and creating a new union to raid UEW's
membership.
The ouster of the UEW and
the Farm Equipment Workers'
Union is the most positive action
yet taken by the CIO In Its
mounting struggle against Com
munist influence. The electrical
group, with 350,000 workers, was
the third largest unit in the CIO.
The CIO convention also clear
ed the way for the dismissal of
10 other left wing unions by
authorizing its executive board
to throw out any affiliate which
declines to follow general CIO
policy. In the past these unions
have often ignored policy deci
sions of the parent organization.
But by not ousting the reamin
Ing 10 the CIO indicated its
hope that the leaders of these
affiliates may mend their ways
and thus stay in the fold. The CIO
is understandably reluctant t o
lose the numerical and financial
strength the unions represent.
If they refuse to accept CIO
edicts, there is little doubt that
ouster will follow. President Phi
lip Murray is now strongly com
mitted to crushing communism
in his federation.
It was no easy choice to eject
the electrical union. That the
conventiion chose to do so means
simply that Murray is convinc
ed there is no way to dislodge
the EW's present red-tinged
leadership. The same can be said
for the farm tool union.
The decision to establish a
rival electrical union is obviously
the CIO's stragtegy for recouping
the money and membership loss
es occasioned by the UEW's ex
pulsion. The CIO believes the
union's rank and file is to a con
siderable extent free of Commu
nist taint. It wants to wean this
membership away from leftist
leaders and build up the new
union.
To head this raiding campaign
the CIO has picked its secretary
treasurer, James B. Carey, one
time president of the UEW until
displaced by leftwinger Albert J.
Fitzgerald. All signs point to a
stiff battle on a city-by-city, local
by-local basis.
In fact, the fight is already on
for the funds and properties of
the UEW all over the nation.
Some court actions are under
way and much more litigation
appears likely before the test
of power ends.
Strikes in big electrical plants
may be an important by-product

When It's Time To Eat
It's Time To Refresh
of this developing strife. Carey
has conceded that the war will
be carried into factories where
both the UEW and the new union
claim contracts. Such clashes of
ten lead to serious work stop
pages. It seems certain, too, that the
National labor Relations Board
will be drawn into the conflict
to referee some of these plant
disputes by holding elections t o
determine the proper bargaining
unit.
The civil war will be a strain
upon the CIO the contesting un
ions, industry and labor gener
ally, and the public. But it seems
an inescapable sequel to the
UEW ouster. The CIO could hard
ly be expected to wave a cheery
goodby to 450,000 dues-paying un
ion members.
Should the nation's patience be
tried from time to time in this
war, perhaps it should reflect
that this is a necessary price to
pay for eradicating the menace
of communism from the Amer
ican labor movement.

WASHINGTON UP) Seven
top Arab diplomats have present
ed a note to the state department
saying "prospects lor peace are
dim" in Palestine. .

50 children, meet weekly to ob

day-to-day growth problems.
The children ages two to five

Many types of bulbs for flow
