Communists Accused of Receiving Aid From U S Employers
Washington reports before the House committee Edward F. McGrady of the American Federation of Labor charged that communists in the United States were aided by some 100 per cent American employees. He cited Danville River mills in Virginia where 200 old workers were discharged while communists remained on the payroll. He said a mill owner allowed a communist leader to travel to New York for talks with communists there and claimed southern textile mills had shifted restrictions onto white workers while freeing black workers.
