Labor council urges action and participation at meeting
Greater Cincinnati CIO members were urged to act as citizens and push legislation. Six percent of Hamilton County voters were disqualified for not voting in two consecutive elections, about 22 000 people, prompting renewed voter registration efforts. The council discussed FEPC bill HB106, Ohio Farm Bureau programs, and concerns about monopolies and consumer control. The group endorsed a National Religion and Labor Foundation conference in Cincinnati, selecting delegates, and pledged support for Local 32 contract negotiations at John Hancock Insurance.
