(LPA) - The ninth annual con-
vention of the New Jersey State
Industrial Union Council-CIO,
representing 25O,00O members,
last week rocked the Commun-
lists back on their heels with a
forceful resolution declaring
that Communism is alien to

the American people" and voic-
ing resentment of the Com
munist party and its adherents
and their efforts to interfere in
the affairs of the CIO."
BY an overwhelming 1854
votes to 800, the convention also
pledged itself to resist and
fight, in democratic fashion, all
attempts of the Communist
Party and its adherents in and
out of the CIO to foist their
policies on our organization"

Here it is Christmas again and
nearly everyone is looking for
ward to a day, which more than
any other day throughout the
entire year is devoted to the
peace for which all men yearn
and for which some of them
strive.
Last year at Christmas time,
we were in the midst of the
great General Motors strike to
increase the wages of all work
ers of America in order that all
could meet the greatly increased
cost of living.
This year, there are no big
strikes, but the workers and
their leadership are acutely
aware that the wage gains which
were made earlier in the year
have not only been wiped out,
but that the real wages of the
workers have been cut because
of the continued upward spiral
of prices.
In many respects, the year
that has gone by since last
Christmas has been disappoint-
ing to the labor movement, for
It saw the final curtain rung
