C I O Proposes Plan to Control Labor Federation
The Committee for Industrial Organization proposed a reconciliation with the American Federation of Labor that would give John L. Lewis control via a new C I O department within the federation. It would organize mass production, marine, utilities, service and basic fabrication industries, totaling about 3.7 million members vs the AFL’s 3.2 million. The plan would exclude key craft unions and require AFL to yield its C I O department control of dozens of small unions.
