CONSERVATIVES CAPTURE’ UAW

Control of Auto Union Lost by Liberals at Convention.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 18 (U. P)). —The United Automobile Workers Union (CIO) shifted controlling power today from left wing to conservative factions and went on record against United States entrance in a foreign war.

The shift in union control came as the convention, in session here for 12 days, wound up its business with the installation of newly elected executive board members and adjourned.

The convention picked Chicago as site for its 1942 meeting.

The union went on record unanimously as opposed to America’s entry into war, but approved aig “to those peoples who continue to fight against Hitler and his allies.”

The convention earlier condemned and barred from office Communists as well as Fascists and Nazis.

The convention also adopted a resolution condemning Emanuel Bloch, New York labor attorney, for bringing civil suit against union officers on behalf of clients who were expelled from the Brewster aircraft local for their part in an unauthorized strike.

In another resolution, the executive board was directed to aid finding employment for eight men discharged by the North American Aviation Corp. at Inglewood, Cal. following the unauthorized strike there. The shift in executive board control came last night with the election of 12 international representatives aligned with the right wing taction and eight supported by left wing leaders. Last year, liberals claimed 10 members and conservatives nine. The international representatives, with President R. J. Thomas, a conservative, and Secretary-Treasurer George F. Addes, a left wing leader, (will form the union's controlling ‘body and also will be its delegates {to the forthcoming CIO convention.
