 One resolution adopted Satur- day presented on behalf of the Amalgamated Metal Workers Union, Local sol, by William Renz, says that officers and members of Local 60l express in the strangest possible terms the just resentment that they feel against those few self appointed leaders in District G., who. either through deliberate malice or through profound ignor- ance, have been attempting to wreck the solidarity of the mem bership Of local unions of the 1.U.MM.& .&SW of District 6, who will have no truck with any mem bers or officers of a local union who essays the formation of vicious and vile conspiracy against our duly elected executive board mem Der, John Mankowski, and the other duly elected leaders of local unions within District 6 who are Waging fight for decent, honest trade unionism uftinged by any Communist influence. eB it further resolved that the officers and mem bers of Local col go on record as condemning those who, with Reid Robinson, are doing their utmost to destroy the unit and harmony in our union.'

 Chartered This Spring
 The Waterbury Watchmakers Union, which Galullo heads, was chartered by the International this Spring after union employees of the U. s. Time Corporation had voted to break away from Local 251, Waterbury Brass Workers Union.
 The split came after Mankowski had refused to approve a contract reached by Galullo and shop committee with the U. s. Time management, claiming that it offered the workers insufficient protection. Over Mankowski's pro- tests, the contract was approved by the international executive board.
 Under the Driscoll- -Mankowski leadership, MM.S.W. locals in Wa terbury, Torrington and Ansonia have adopted strong anti-Com- munist resolutions. Robinson has long been under fire for alleged Communist leanings.
