Break With World Reds CIO Gives Left Wingers Ultimatum
The CIO executive board, after a fiery three day meeting, ordered left wingers to sever ties with the World Federation of Trade Unions within five months or risk expulsion. The board withdrew CIO from WFTU by a 38 to 9 vote, and prepared a Cleveland convention agenda including potential expulsion of the Farm Equipment Workers Union for refusing to merge with the UAW. President Murray denounced Harry Bridges for misrepresentation and signaled a hot convention ahead. The CIO also endorsed the Truman Fair Deal and urged Congress to pass pro-labor measures.
