Apparently the C.I.0. secretary turned to spit once too often. For suddenly at the start of this week Mr. Green announced that his executive council had expelled the United Mine Workers and two other C.I.0. unions, the Flat Glass Workers and the Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers. And the action had been taken in secret session three days before. Announcement was delayed pending the arrival of a certified copy of the miners' purged constitution...
