minute, was member of an

fngerprinted in their native land.

UNION WISDOM CONFIRMED

Years ago the members of the In
ternational Association Of Machinists
discovered the sinister purpose of
Communist activity in the trade
unions, and learned that Communist
Party members gave prime allegiance
in all matters affecting labor, not to
their trade union, but to a party
whose program was to seize control
of the union in the interests Of the
Communist movement. AS result
of this experience, the membership by
convention action resolved to exclude
all members Of the Communist Party
and its controlled dual labor groups
from acquiring or retaining member
ship in the Union. The wisdom Of the
policy excluding Communists from
membership in our organization, dem
onstrated many times before, has
again been confirmed by the startling
revelations Of the Special Congression-
al Committee investigating un-Ameri-
can activities.-H. w. Brown, acting
president, International Association of
Machinists, in Machinists' Monthly
Journal.
