The latest variant is the American Federation of Labor's threat to drive from home its child organization, the Teachers' Federation, unless the latter "cleans house" and ousts local "communist-controlled" units. Even the most cursory examination discloses the fact that this outburst is in the nature of a red herring, and that, in all likelihood, no one concerned will take any positive action...
