Newspaper Guild
Defeats Hotel Ban
On Negro Delegates

St. Louis, Mo-, -(CNA)-At its
convention here, the American
Newspaper Guild punctured local
jim-crow practice when it forced
the management of the Hotel Stat
Ter to back down on its refusal to
accommodate Ted Poston, New
York Negro newspaperman, and
his wife. Poston was delegate to
the national convention of the
Guild and chairman of one of the
important committees of the con-
vention.
The Statler manager claimed
that he was bound by a rule of the
local association of hotel owners to
bar Negroes as guests of the hotel.
When the Guild refused to COM
promise on the matter, the Statler
manager finally backed down and
assigned the Postons to suite 1857.
The Guild had threatened to move
the convention not only from the
Statler Hotel but from St. Louis
rather than compromise.
Haywood Broun, noted progress
sive columnist, founder of the
Guild and executive member of the
Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, was reelected president for
the fourth time. His election was
marked by a rising ovation from
the 100-odd delegates who repre-
scented 1000 organized newspaper
men of the country.
The convention voted 1181s to
1914 to affiliate with the CLIO. The
decision not only committed the
newspapermen's union to support
of the aggressive organization cam
paign of the CLIO, but also accept
ed the logic of industrial unionism
by inclusion of business, circulation
and advertising newspaper work
ers in the membership of the
Guild.
