Tobacco Workers Termed a Left Wing Outfit Washington, May 6.—A govern ment agency said yesterday it is too much to believe a lawyer made two free trips from Washington to North Carolina for a client. That was a major reason given for a 3 to 2 National Labor Re lations board decision that a left wing CIO union was trying to evade the non-communist affidavit requirement to win bargaining rights for 1,225 Greensboro, N. C., tobacco drying workers. | The majority held the newly formed United Tobacco Workers was only a “front” for the left wing CIO food, tobacco and agri cultural workers union in organiz ing efforts at the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company. Officers of the new union had filed the non-communist oaths re quired for access to NLRB proced ures while officers of the latter group had refused to file them. The Food and Tobacco Workers union is headed by Donald Henderson, who has just returned from a Communist sponsored “peace” con ference in Paris. Part of the testimony in the case was that the United Tobacco work ers was without funds yet obtained services of a Washington lawyer for two proceedings in North Ca rolina. ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS V.
