Excerpt from Hearings Regarding Communism in Labor Unions in the United States: Hearings Before the Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Eightieth Congress, First Session, Public Law 601 (Section 121, Subsection Q (2)), February 27; July 23, 24, and 25, 1947 The committee met at 10 a. m., Hon. J. Parnell Thomas (chairman) presiding. The Chairman. The committee will come to order. The record will show that the following members of the committee are present: Mr. McDowell, Mr. Nixon, Mr. Vail, Mr. Rankin, and Mr. Peterson. Mr. Rankin. And Mr. Thomas. Staff members present: Mr. Robert E. Stripling, chief investigator and Mr. Louis J. Russell, investigator. The Chairman. Yes, sir. Right after the organization meeting of this committee we announced an eight-point program to be followed as closely as possible by the committee over the coming year or two years. The second point in that program reads as follows: To spotlight the sorry spectacle of having outright Communists controlling and dominating some of the most vital unions in American labor, unions which are now being used as Moscow pawns for ambitious and unscrupulous Communist leaders; this should also he the first order of business for the rank and file of labor for this type of leadership and exploitation can only destroy the labor movement. Now, gentlemen, today we have the first step in that second plank. We have some witnesses from the Allis-Chalmers union. I would like to ask Mr. Stripling if all of the witnesses, either subpenaed or requested to some here today, are present today. Mr. Stripling. Mr. Chairman, the committee had originally subpenaed Mr. Joseph Julianelle, business agent of Local 203 of the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America to be present. We also subpenaed the president of that local, Mr. Beresick. Mr. Beresick and Mr. Julianelle have advised the committee by telegram, which I would like to read. The Chairman. Is that the local up in Bridgeport? Mr. Stripling. That is right. [Reading:] J. Parnell Thomas, Chairman, Un-American Activities Committee, Washington, D. C. Beg for relief from appearing before your committee on Thursday, February 27 because of superior court case involving us in Bridgeport. May we suggest another date at your earliest convenience.
