CANADIAN LABOUR DETERMINED TO ISOLATE REDS
(10 a.m.) OTTAWA, April 6. The determination to isolate all Communist groups within its ranks was * announced yesterday by the Canadian Congress of Labour. A joint statement by Mr. A. R. Mosher, president, and Mr. Pat Conroy, secretary, said: “A time has come in the Labour movement and in other organisations for Communist groups to be forced into an isolated position. There, under the spotlight of public opinion and deprived of the shadows of decent organisations in which they now attemtp to hide, their ulterior pur. poses will be clearly revealed.” The statement said that action had already been taken against some unions in the organisation under Communist * leadership. This was not because of the political views of those concerned, but because their actions were considered by the great majority of members to be contrary to the union interests and “a menace to the nation."
