It recommended action against the Marine Cooks and Stewards union led by Hugh Bryson who has worked with Bridges. The investigators found both had aligned more with the Communist Party than CIO policy. A third maritime group led by Joseph Jurich merged with Bridges the union and will be dealt with simultaneously.
