LEFT COMMUNIST PARTY
Trades Union Officials
(N.Z.P.A.-Reutcr—Copyright) LONDON, January 4. Twenty officials of Britain’s 290,000-strong Electrical Trades Union today left the Communist Party, deciding to observe a new union rule which came into force this week-end, banning Communists from holding office. Any official defying the ban will be dismissed from the union.
The ban followed discovery last July of an alleged Communist plot to gain control of the union.
The officials resigned from the Communist Party in defiance of a party directive to retain membership.
