AFL balks at joining hands with Red unions
Anglo-Soviet-American collaboration hits snags in U.S.
Washington (UP) – (May 23)
Sir Walter Citrine, secretary of the British Trades Union Congress, said today that plans approved in London and Moscow for welding Soviet, British and American organized labor into a closely-knit international committee had “hit a snag” here.
But a counterproposal by the American Federation of Labor, he added, leaves the way open for a form of collaboration. He said:
It doesn’t go as far as I’d like, but nevertheless is a step in the right direction.
Mr. Citrine conferred with President Roosevelt on his mission here – an attempt to form an Anglo-Soviet-American trade union committee to further the joint war effort.
Less than a month after Germany invaded Russia, the British Trades Union Congress and the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions of the USSR formed the Anglo-Soviet Trade Union Committee. Mr. Citrine’s mission, approved by both British and Soviet labor, was to persuade American organized labor to join the committee.
The AFL Executive Council received Mr. Citrine’s plan this week but balked at outright collaboration with Soviet labor groups.
