Reuther Attacks Lewis In Auto Union Clash
A loud, confrontational exchange between Walter Reuther president of the CIO United Auto Workers and John L Lewis head of the United Mine Workers dominated a June rally marking the UAW Ford contract anniversary. Reuther condemned Lewis as embittered and pseudo intellectual while Lewis accused Reuther of unions with Communists and supporting wage escalator policies. The event drew about 40 000 spectators as tensions flared over price controls and union leadership.
