Chicago TWU Vice President
blasts Quilts smear tactics

Michael Quill, president of
the Transport Workers Union
(CIO), who has been called "a
Red" himself in the past was in
Chicago this week calling most
of the officers of his union
Reds"
Quill charged the "Commun-
ist-dominated" executive board
of his union ''railroaded" the
upcoming TWU convention
which opens in the Shorthand
Hotel Dec. ito Chicago, thus
spending 100000 of the unions
funds unnecessarily.
But the officers of Quilts
union had something lot, in
fact-tO say about his charges.
while most of the leaders of
the TWU are working seven

ternatiOnal vice president as
signed to the Chicago region,
president Quill has time to
traipse around the country max
ing irresponsible statements and
engaging in strike breaking,
union m h ng activities,
drawing expense money as well
as his regular salary for doing it.
Quill mouths insinuationS
about Reds What else can he
do when he hasn't leg to stand
on with regard to the real issues
of wages and working condi-
tions? His only hope is to draw
attention away from the real
issues"
Kearns charged that, Quill is
peeved that the TWU convention
will not be held in his backyard.
He says that it is an unnecessary
expense to bring delegates to
Chicago. The fact is that more
than one-half of the delegates
are coming from outside New

SipOrin said that, Hundreds
of workers should be urged to
take the day off to work as pre-
cinct workers. :. Workers must
take several hours from their
work to participate in the count

One Lnlng is certain, without

Boston, although they hit as
often as Cleveland, did not hit
when it counted. Bob Elliot and
Earl Torgenson botf ended up
hitting over 800 for the Series.
But Bob didn't start hitting I'M
til the fifth game when it was
too late A few of those hits
in the earlier games would have
meant Boston victory. Alvin
Dark, sensational rookie short
stop had a bad series at field
and at bat. The slowness of
Stanky and Salkeld on the base
pads hurt the Braves. If Stanky
had been able to score from sec
ond on a hit in the sixth game
it might have been a different
story, but his bad ankle had TAX
en- away that fraction of speed
he needed.
One of the sad notes of the
series was that Bob Teller. who
had waited so long, couldn't win
a series game, losing two hit
ter to Johnny Sain 10 in the
opening game and being knock
ed out in his second appearance.
But Steve GrOmek filled the gap
with his fourth game victory.

saw Boston come so close in the
sixth game went out of the park
