Secret Senate Hearings Probe Communist Infiltration in Unions
Closed door hearings before a Senate subcommittee on alleged Communist infiltration of labor unions have begun. Top union officials may be called publicly in coming weeks as Butler and supporters push legislation to extend non Communist affidavits to rank and file, empower the Subversive Activities Control Board, and strip unions of bargaining rights if proven under Communist influence. The plan would trigger immediate representation elections and move cases to the U S Circuit Court of Appeals.
