Union To Fire Two Red Officials
The Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Union plans to retire Maurice E. Travis as of July 1 with a $300 monthly disability pension and discharge Clinton E. Jencks as of June 1 with severance pay. Both men were convicted in federal court on Taft Hartley anti Communist affidavits and are free on bond during appeals. The action was decided at an executive board meeting during the Salt Lake City convention. The union, once expelled by CIO for Reds influence, has over 70,000 members in the U S and Canada and has been seeking reintegration.
