COmnies in the CIO
by Peter EdSOn

cred in the left-wing group but with Walter Reuther as president it is not listed now. What happened in the JAW is typical of what can happen tn q trade union organization when lefts start battling rights
 Reuther, not Catholic was backed by the Asso- ciated Catholic Trade Unions organization perhaps the most active antiCommunist force in the country today. R. J. Thomas not Communist himself was nevertheless backed by the Comrnies In the fight for power, the union was all but torn apart and wrecked
 It is this internal conflict that Murray has tried to avoid He is against purges and witch hunts" of Commies in the unions because of belief that they hit only the little fellows down at the bottom-the fellows with families to support-and miss the Con- mic leaders at the top
 These Communist leaders in a labor union are aggressive and they smart. They make strong union officials. They will work for less money They will serve on committees. They will attend meetings at night. And they vii everything in their power to unseat non-Communist or anti-Communist officers.
 From the viewpoint of the old-time American labor leader the trouble with the Communists is that they have program whatever for strengthening trade unionism itself Their primary concern is to build up organizations which will yell for the Rus sian foreign policy lnewhatever that happens to be at the moment.
 What they want is mass protest against U S. policy, wherever it conflicts with Moscows They like to educate their membership on foreign affairs ," then pass resolutions demanding withdrawal of the Marines from China presentation of the atomic bomb to Russia, or surrender of Pacific bases.
 Within the past six months this U S. Communist leadership has become more aggressive than ever. That's why the Communist anti-Communist fights are cropping up in many of the union conventions The turmoil will probably continue as long as the United States and Russia arguing at The peace conferences and in the United Nations organization.
 The job ahead of the responsible trade unionist official to wise his members up to what goes here and lead his organization away from the Commie line.

WASHINGTON, Oct 12- (NEA) When C.LO. President Phil Murray cut loose the Communists at the PAC. convention of liberals in Chicago it looked little if the labor leader had turned to leaf in his book of policy
 At a steelworkers'~ convention in Atlantic City last May Murray had declared 'We must not and do seek interference with the free and democratic right of each member to practice such religion as he chooses harbor such views as he chooses in his prl- vate life as citizen Our union has not been and will not be instrument for repression"
 That hailed by the Communist Daily Worker as an indication that Murray backing away from any showdown with the Commie leaders or any purge of the Commie members in CLIO. unions.
 But at Chicago, Murray threw away the text of prepared speech to the P.A.C leaders after Harold Ickes had made typical curmudgeon talk that rubbed the wrong way. Speaking extemporaneously Murray confided that at the recent Washington meet ing of the World Federation of Trade Union heads he had told the Soviet delegate, We've got no use for any damn Communists coming here and med ding in our affairs any than you would welcome our meddling in your affairs"
 The two statements are entirely consistent if the problem of Communism in the American labor move ment is properly understood.
 Conservative CLO. officials today assert that the Communist influence in their unions is less powerful than before the war In 1940 unions which were con- sdered CommuniSt-do dominated made up 26 percent of the membership Today the figure is said to be 8 per- cent,
 The figure may be misleading The decline is due to the fact that CIO. membership has increased from four million to six million. The membership of the Communist dominated unions has, therefore stood still, at about a million.
 This does not mean that all the members of these unions Communists but that the active heads considered followers of the Communist party line and that they try to take their unions along that line Generally considered in the Commie- -bossed lineup are the United Electrical Workers, Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, United Public Workers Longshore- men, and few smaller unions.

A couple from one of the local canneries was on a small boat en route to Kodiak very recently, when the rough seas began to af- feet the woman.
 Knowing the results of nal de mer, the woman forsightedly re- moved her ia SC teeth, wrapping them carefully in a piece of pa per. During the ensuing events the woman handed the package to her husband to hold.
 He, not realizing what the pa per contained, tossed the wad of paper overheard.
 Down to Davey Jones' locker went the dentures, purchased in the States at cost of $500, U S funds
 We make no comment, as it would appear to be an incident of little humor to the woman
