Practically every strike on the
west coast, and others threatened
but not called, is known to have
been instigated ,by communists who
had wormed their way into the
unions. Three years ago the Dies
committee seized literature from
the communists directing w hat
should be done to cause a strike in
national defense; how to cause
trouble and delay production in
a irc ra ft factories, in shipyards, in
I h Z ’lu m ter industry, etc. The
commttee even found the names
of communists who were sent to
of division. Not a finger was lift-
ed by the adm inistration to assist
the comm ttee in uncovering the
term ites gnawing a t the fábric of
government.
T he Dies committee made other
discoveries. It learned th a t some
high placed federal officials, some
ho’ding very im portant positions,
were playing with the communists.
The commttee published a list of
some 600 names of men and women
on the federal payroll in the na-
tional canitol who were members
of the League for Peace and Dem-
ocracy, a front organization. In-
