A. Cameron, UMWA board mem- ber from Cumberland, charged the government had shipped Reid Rob- imson out of the country “not be- eause he is a communist but be- cause he is a good organizer of hardrock miners.’ f

Harvey Murphy, B.C, Federation of Labor, wanted to know “where

“Their call for special organiza-

_ tioms to combat what they call sub-
