Delegates rose to their feet before and after Murrays speech in ovation to the S. W. 0. C. leader and interrupted him frequently during the course of his talk with prolonged applause. Describing the successes won by the C. I. 0. steel union, Murray declared that more than 500,000 workers in 1040 lodges now belonged to the S. W. 0. C., and that contracts with 412 steel companies had been signed. He said that the concerted efforts of C. I. 0. unions had succeeded in increasing wages more than $800,000,000. Adolph Germer, regional director of the C. I. O., speaking at the convention of the Rubber Workers in Akron, Ohio, accused the A. F. of L. of harboring racketeers. There are racketeers in the A. F. of L., and William Green knows who they are and does nothing about it. he said. Here is a challenge that means something, and the whole world is waiting for Greens reply.
