AFL Leaders Consider Move Against John L Lewis Wing
Washington July 8 leaders of the American Federation of Labor debated removing John L Lewis and 11 affiliated unions from the federation amid a broad factional clash over organizing steel workers into a single industrial unit. William Green accused Lewis of failing policy causing division while Lewis denied charges and warned of dishonor to Green and allies. The council weighed charges of anti federation action and aiding the Radio and Electrical Workers union now on strike at RCA Camden. Green said the federation planned a steel campaign as the Lewis committee acted independently.
