HOW BRIDGES FITS IN


 Bridges comes into the picture this way. His many critics, incltld- ing Representative Dies, investigat- ing un-American activities, have contended that files in the Labor Department prove that Bridges not only was Communist but had. per- sonally advocated violent overthrow of the Government.
 Secretary of Labor Perkins per- sistently has denied this but in 1887 the department discovered more substantial evidence and began de- portation proceedings against Bridges. It was ticklish business for an administration supported by la bor. Bridges is big CIO figure.
 Then up came the Circuit Court decision in the Strecker case hold ing that an alien couldn't be de- ported just because he was Com munist. The Labor Department grabbed it, suspended proceedings against Bridges and announced
  that no decision would be reached until the Supreme Court decision in the Strecker case showed the way.
 Since Strecker's case became the proving ground, strong left wing or ganizations have come forward with attorneys. To the left wing labor movement Bridges has been worth his weight in gold and not one to be given up easily
 For five years Bridges, an Aus tralian with hatchet face and winning way with waterfront work CTS, has been pain in the side of most West Coast ship operators. He dock workers from Seattle

Another measure to receive the
