Fitzgerald, the only left wing vice president of the organization. : As the CIO convention assem{bled for its final session, Presiident Philip Murray and all in{eumbent officers appeared sure of jre-election without opposition. The {convention has been marked by the most relentless drive against the left wing in CIO history. Until the 11th hour, the more rabid right wingers were hoping to find a way of ousting Mr. Fitzgerald, president of the United Electrical Workers, from his vice presidential post.
