CP Fight
Blows NMU

NEW YORK, Oct. IA
+(LPA) = The long-expected
anti-C Communist explosion in
the National Maritime Union
ICIO almost blew the roof off
the unions 9Th biennial conven-
ton here last week until the
unions counse warned that
threatened court action by un-
seated delegates might invalidate
the entire convention.
The convention opened with
C h argos by NMU President
Joseph Curran that 'the machin-
cry has been set up by the Com
munist Party to handle this con-
vention; they air dy have
someone sitting in the gallery
here to run the machine.
BY the end of the week the
battle between the Curran forces
and those supported by the Com
munists continued until more
than so d el gat e threatened
court action when they were re-
fused credentials because they
could not show 80 days sea duty
on the ships they represented
Curran's anti-Communist fight
after a recess called because
enough delegates hadn't been
seated-suffered its first major
setback when his group elected
only six men to the 15-man Gre
dentialS committee. Nine of the
committee members, according
to Curran, were promoted by
the Communists"
1t was admittedly a life-and-
death struggle between Curran
and his pro-Communist oppo-
nents for control of the union.
Curran received another seri-
Gus setback when the creden-
tials committee certified Joseph
Stack, former vice-president
who was removed from office on
charges brought by Curran that
he was a Communist.
The Communist issue per-
meated every other convention
consideration with even some of
the men named to the relatively
unimportant rules committee de-
MED their position because of
the 80 days at sea requirement.
During debate on the seating
of the Pittsburgh delegation
Stack contended that Curran was
recognizing only his friends. In
reply, Curran announced the
MINUS democratic maneuver"
which was a lineup of potential
speakers at the microphone. The
debate went on as more than 80
men lined up to speak.

TUJ> Etc.
Face 1t

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA
Commerce De-
partment last week admitted
that "no substantial increase
in supply" of newsprint is
likely until 1949 or 1850, while
the Justice Department was run
ming up against a stone wall in
an investigation of whether U. S.
newsprint users are the victims
of an international price-fixing
conspiracy.
Although the newsprlnt short
age is easing up somewhat, the
Commerce Department said that
Reports from all parts of the
country indicate that the news
print supply still remains far
short of demand"
Fact of the matter IS, accord
ing to government officials, black
market newsprint is still selling
for as high as $120 a ton. The
squeeze remains especially Sc
we're, they admit, on jobbers who
print smaller papers including
labor, religious and fraternal
publications.
In Canada the Justice Depart
ment was having difficulty in
seeing the records of paper and
newsprint firms who took the
position that being across the
border they were not subject to
u. S. subpoenas. Justice Depart
ment officials point out that most
of the Canadian firms do so to
80 per cent of their business in
the U. S. and suspect that they
moved their headquarters to Can
ada in a deliberate attempt to
make their books inaccessible.
