ON THE LEFT…C. B. R.

Seeking Shelter. In desperation because of current proceedings before the Subversive Activities Control Board to declare the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America a Communist-infiltrated organization—proceedings which would deprive the organization of bargaining rights—UE leaders are dickering behind the scenes with James B. Carey, president, and other leaders of the International Union of Electrical Workers (AFL-CIO). It is alleged that Carey appeared before the UE executive board with Harry Block, lUE vice president, and Les Finegan, Carey’s assistant. Negotiations have been going on since September 1955. If the UE succeeded in being incorporated within the IUE, it would be a life-saver for the Communist UE leaders. Carey, who was instrumental in expelling the UE from the CIO, has denied that the UE will be successful in securing a haven within the AFL-CIO.
