Recently, in a National Labor Relations Board
election, held at Warm Springs, Oregon,
which the A. F. of L won,
Representatives of the IWA-CIO
CHALLENGED
the Votes and the Right to Vote of
14 INDIANS
The Warm Springs Lumber Company is built
on the lands of these Indians ... the timber that
they cut is bought from these Indians . . . yet,
because they are Indians
The IWA-CIO Says They Can't Vote
WHY
A newt it-em in the "International Woodworker," the official paper of the
IWA-CIO, under date of December 27, says:
"Several hundred signatures have been re
ceived by various unions IWA-CIO on the peti
tions asking for a referendum vote for the re
peal of the section of the IWA constitution that
bars Communists, : Fascists and Nazis from
- , ' membership in the union."
. ,eems very strange that the IWA-CIO should attempt to
Raise Racial Barriers
on one hand
And Deny 100 Americans Their Inalienable Right of the
Vote Franchise
AND ON THE OTHER HAND V
Would Admit Groups to Their Membership
