CIO Bars All Communists From Office
Cleveland, Nov. 2 AP The CIO convention’s right wing won a major victory by amending the CIO constitution to bar Communists from top offices and empower the executive board to expel Communist unions. The vote also raised the per capita tax to 10 cents, adding about a million dollars for organizing. Expulsion of left wing unions planned to trigger a drive to recruit their members. Walter Reuther’s committee approved expelling United Electrical Workers and Farm Equipment Workers, UE and FE, as their factions split after a merger not recognized by the CIO. UE delegates walked out, attacking Mar Kray and Carey and pledging no further dues.
