CWA Votes To Back Truman
The CIO Communications Workers last week urged President Truman to seek re-election next year.
Such a request was voiced in a letter to Mr. Truman by Joseph A. Beirne, CWA-CIO president.
Pledging "unstinting support," Beirne's letter said in part:
"Four years ago, our union endorsed you for re-election. We endorsed you even before the Democratic Convention selected you.
"Feeling within our union today, if there has been any change since then, is even stronger in favor of your re-election.
"There are good reasons for this -- your positive approach to implementing the 1948 platform of the Democratic Party, a platform endorsed overwhelmingly by the American public at the polls, and your spotless record of courageous fighting for those objectives most beneficial to common, ordinary citizens of America -- and the world."
