CIO Purges Electricians and Allied Union at CIO Meet
In Cleveland at the CIO convention the executive board was instructed to expel nine or ten left wing unions, including the United Electrical Workers and the Farm Equipment Workers, amid a drive to root out groups aligned with communism and fascism. A new right wing affiliate, the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, will organize in Philadelphia starting November 28 to absorb expelled locals. The convention also raised per capita dues and approved amendments to empower the executive board to seat or expel members.
