Supplement to Directory of Labor Unions in the United States (Bulletin No. 1127) February 1954 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR James P. Mitchell, Secretary BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS Digitized for FRASER Ewan Clague, Commissioner http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis These revisions account for the major changes in the structure and composition of labor organizations since the issuance of the Bureau's Directory of Labor Unions in the United States (Bulletin No. 1127) in the spring of 1953. The changes listed in this supplement are identified by page references to the appropriate place in the Directory where the union is listed. Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Supplement to - DIRECTORY OF LABOR UNIONS IN THE UNITED STATES Early in 195^> a total of 217 national and international unions were known to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, This represents a net ad­ dition of two unions since the Bureau’s Directory of Labor Unions in the United States was issued in 1953. Of the 217 unions, 110 are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, 3^ with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, and 73 are independent or unaffiliated unions. The Aluminum Workers International Union (formerly the Aluminum Workers Council) was chartered “by the AFL in 1953. At its 1953 convention, the AFL expelled the International Longshoremen’s Association and granted a charter to a new union with the same title. The CIO issued a charter to the Insurance Workers of America (formerly the Insurance and Allied Work­ ers Organizing Committee). Late in 1953, the Pacific Coast Marine Fire­ men, Oilers, Watertenders and Wipers Association, an independent union, affiliated with the Seafarers' International Union of North America (AFL). Several changes occurred in the structure and officers of the AFL. The number of vice presidents was increased from 13 to 15. The tem­ porary withdrawal of the Carpenters’ Union in the summer of 1953 created a vacancy in the office of first vice president. In accordance with the AFL's procedure, the other vice presidents were each advanced to the next highest vice-presidency. The changes listed in this revision are identified by the Di­ rectory page number and union. In indicating personnel changes, only the present incumbent is generally shown. For example, in the AFL Actors Union, Florence Marston replaced Louis M. Simon as Secretary of the Asso­ ciated Actors and Artistes of America (AFL). This change is recorded in the list as follows: Page it. Actors & Artistes of America, Associated (AFL). Secretary: Florence Marston. Changes in the number of union members or locals are not shown.
