Machinists Union to Quit A F L Over Jurisdiction Row
The International Association of Machinists announced it will leave the American Federation of Labor on May 31 after a long stand‑off over jurisdiction, notably with the carpenters union led by William Hutcheson. President Harvey W. Brown said the move comes after years of perceived union and council bias and aims to preserve independent action. The AFL faces a net strength shift as John L. Lewis’ United Mine Workers may seek readmission.
