Machinists Withdraw from Labor Movement Clash
Machinist union No 314 last night left the new labor coalition formed by the Union County Trades Council and local trades, citing a risk of splitting its members. The group discussed affiliating with either the Independence or Socialist party, but officials insisted the move is nonpartisan and aims to use the new primary law to place working men in political roles aligned with labor principles. The report on the bylaws was tabled to allow further explanation to members.
