Dubinsky and the ILGWU participated actively in CIO ventures. The union contributed $345,000 to organizing efforts in steel and textiles. Dubinsky, however, still tried to bring peace between the AFL and CIO, a fruitless effort, especially after the AFL expelled all ILGWU locals from the organization. Although Dubinsky's efforts at mediating a settlement failed, he supported Lewis and the CIO until Lewis decided to change the committee into a permanent national organization. The ILGWU was isolated between the two groups and remained that way for a year and a half. Independence might have destroyed many unions, but Dubinsky had built the ILGWU to such great strength that it could survive on its own and bide its time until it was feasible to rejoin one of the groups.
