in the eyes of reactionaries.
Lewis and Hutchinson
Map Antl-FDR Movement
Rumor has 1t that John L. Lewis
of the Miners and big Bill' Hutchin
son of the Carpenters, who used tt
sleep together in the same COP bed
have their scheming heads together
again. They are said to be cooking
up something new something, yor
may be sure, not in the best interests
of the American worker
For some time prior to Lewis re
cent unity" attempt that ended in n
flop, he and Hutchinson have been
known to be exploring ways and
movement. Lewis miners and Hutch
inson's carpenters were to have
formed the nucleus of the new move
ment.
Now they are said to be at 1t again.
They are said to feel that with mem
bership of 100000 in their combined
unions, they can start a labor move
ment with more members than the
CLIO had when 1t started out
But it isn't as easy as it sounds,
however, since the rank and file of
their organizations may be catching
up to them very fast, and refuse to
go along.
But Lewis and Hutchinson are both
desperate men, and desperate men
sometimes take desperate chances.
They are furious at events that have
brought the leadership Of both the
ALL and CLIO into close, harmonious
relationship with the White House.
They are chatting under their own dog
house role. They have missed the
boat-and are trying to charter new
one.
