McKeesport Mayor Labels Strikers as Communist Smokescreen
McKeesport Mayor George H. Lisle charges striking city employees are a smokescreen for Communist activities in response to a Civil Liberties Union telegram urging collective bargaining. He argues national defense progress disrupts Communist plans and asserts no city workers or CIO committee are Communist, while acknowledging the telegram supports the right to strike for public employees except police and firemen.
