Homer Martin Ousts 15 From UA WL Board
Detroit Homer Martin president of the United Automobile Workers announced the suspension of fifteen of the twenty four member international executive board after he and followers removed records from the international offices. He named the suspended officials and said he would control the remaining board members. The move followed days of factional strife as the board had stripped him of authority and planned a convention to settle leadership. Martin claimed the rest would meet to arrange a democratic convention while suspended members argued the action unconstitutional.
