Roosevelt Favored in CIO Linked Bulletin Says Only Path to Peace
The weekly bulletin The Goal issued Friday by the Cedar Rapids City Industrial Union council and tied to the CIO urged citizens to register and vote for Franklin D Roosevelt. It attacked Gov Thomas E Dewey over labor policy and contrasted 12 years under Roosevelt with 12 years under Harding Coolidge and Hoover while praising Roosevelt’s labor record since 1933. It linked Dewey to past GOP labor policy and omitted Dewey’s own labor record.
