Hoffa Will Address Seminar Wednesday

James ("Jimmy") Hoffa, vice president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, will speak to an economics seminar next Wednesday, it was learned last night. Hoffa will address a meeting of Economics 284 on Collective Bargaining in the Over-the-Road Transportation Industry at 4:00 in Littauer Lounge.

Generally considered one of the most powerful figures in the American labor movement, Hoffa, who left school at the age of 14, gained notoriety recently when he led a movement to unite the Teamsters Union with the International Longshoremen's Association. The Longshoremen's Union had been expelled from the American Federation of Labor because of alleged racketeer connections. The alliance was believed to constitute a major threat to the new coalition of the AFL and the CIO.
