Lewis Ousts Murray from UAW Office
Lewis, head of the Miners union, ousts Murray from the UAW vice presidency, citing a vacant post and reshuffles. John O'Leary of Pittsburgh named to Murray's former post, while DAW district 60's Marlin Wagner opposed the move. The action was framed as part of a broader effort to shift power away from CIO allies toward the United Mine Workers leadership. Murray retains only nominal status, and the decision awaits potential challenges at the Atlantic City convention.
