The CIO Political Action Committee aims to print at least 50 million campaign pieces and buy radio time, newspaper space, billboards, posters, and soundtracks to promote labor interests in the national campaign. It seeks volunteer contributions from CIO members to fund the effort, framing it as a prudent worker self-interest investment.
The GOP proposal changes were promoted by Kroll as part of a Democratic platform shift.

J Harry Moore Democratic candidate for Congress in the Second District recalls a Taft remark on a dollar a day and questions Dewey's labor stance.

Edmundson was barred from convention seating and candidacy, and Joseph Lublinski said he was beaten in Cincinnati for backing autonomy.
