President Philip Murray warned at the United Steelworkers convention in Boston that a reactionary Congress for four years would spell fascism. He urged full labor political action in 1948 as workers faced a pivotal year and potential destruction without united effort.
Delegates report President Murray presided superbly and drew steady ovations as the Steelworkers and CIO endorse testing free speech provisions of the Taft Hartley Act and back anti communist measures. They authorize actions on Eisenhower endorsing moves and pledge unity against a third party.
A light local column mentions PAC donations to challenge Bob Taft in Ohio, praises speaker Lora Nace's return, and lampoons George Howard's lawn incident. It notes a feud between George Miller and Nita Waits over Reds Ball Team power, and Ralph Wilson in Corryville jokes about buying a house and a maintenance job.
The piece notes a large turnout at a recent meeting, with officers nominated and sample ballots forthcoming for member review. Delegates Joseph Scherra and Harold Braun were chosen for the Summer Institute at the University of Indiana, with courses for steelworkers co arranged by union and university staff.
