Senators urge tighter red laws and union purge
The Senate internal security subcommittee urged tighter laws against Communists in organized labor and asked authority for bosses to fire workers linked to Red fronts. It backed the House committee’s push to purge unions of Red leaders and bar Communists from union officials. The report cites the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, expelled from CIO in 1950, and urges perjury prosecutions for officials who signed non Communist affidavits but were named as Communists. The panel says most union members are not Communist and calls for revolt among rank and file to oust leaders.
