Labor Marks Own Hunt for Racketeering in Unions
The AFL-CIO executive council empowers its ethical practices committee to conduct a full-scale racketeering inquiry within union ranks. A staff and counsel are prepared, with early hearings promised, following White House offers of federal help to President George Meany. The panel, led by Al Hayes, will probe findings from a Senate subcommittee noting a million-dollar welfare fund shortage at Laundry Workers and irregularities in Distillery Workers and Allied Industrial Workers funds.
