Clio Authorizes Boarc
To Expe| Unions With
Communist Tinge
Convention Also Boosts
Per Copito Tex From 8
To 10 Cents Monthly
By the Asseeiotsd Press

CLEVELAND. Nov. 2.-The CLIO
conventions right wing today
showed under all opposition and
amended the CLIO constitution to
bar Communists from top Offices
and authorized the Executive
Board to expel pro-Communist
unions.
The convention also boosted the
per capita tax paid by it's unions
to the CLIO from eight cents to 10
cents per member per month";
move which would add one million
dollars to the treasury for the big
organizing war ahead.
Expulsion of the left-wing
unions, as contemplated by the
convention, is expected to touch
off a big drive by the victorious
right wing to grab of the rank
and file membership Of the left
wing unions.
Resolutions Aimed at UE Ready.
Authorization to expel pro-
Communist unions gives the
CLOS Executive Board the power
to remove them at any time.
The convention itself could do
the same thing. by a two-thirds
vote, and resolutions were ready
for that purpose, aimed at the
United Electrical Workers. The
Executive Board then can deal
with other left-Wing unions, prob
ably after the convection.
The board was given the au-
thority to expel any union whose
policies and activities are found
to be consistently directed to-
ward the achievement of the pro-
gram or the purposes Of the Com
munist party. any Fascist or
ganization, or other totalitarian
movement, rather than the objec-
tives and policies set forth in the
constitution Of the Go"
Secretary Of Labor Tobin was
one of the convention speakers
this morning.
Expulsion Approved.
Walter p. Reuther's powerful
Resolutions Committee reported
to the convention it had approved
I"by overwhelming vote" the ex-
pulsion Of the United Electrical
Workers and the Farm Equipment
workers.
The two unions had pulled off a
quick merger last week. but it
wasn't recognized by the CIO.

members. and FE with another
