Aluminum Workers Break From AFOL To Join Lewis CIO
In New Kensington the Aluminum Company of America unit splits from the American Federation of Labor to align with John L. Lewis and the CIO. A national convention is planned for April 12 to draft a constitution for an international body. Funds totaling about 27000 are involved as the group shifts to industrial unionism. The move widens the steel and aluminum union conflict, with court action likely over local funds and allegiance. Approximately 40000 workers are employed in the aluminum industry.
