John L. Lewis and the Voting Behavior of the C.I.O.

Abstract

The attempt of Lewis to carry the C.I.O. vote for Willkie in the 1940 election was a dramatic test of his influence. This article describes the reaction of C.I.O. officials and editors, and analyzes the vote of the rank and file on the basis of a study of sixty-three counties and fourteen towns, selected as best reflecting C.I.O. voting behavior. Mr. Bernstein is a Fellow of the Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C.
