ter operator, because Of his unwar-
ranted action in seeking to stop
Miss Bell from associating with
Elizabeth Schuek, chairman Of the
st. Paul Youth Council. Miss Bell
ia secretary Of the Youth Council.

Francis Giligan, of the St. Paul
Seminary, at the Halle Q. Brown

duced by Maceo Littlejohn, General

pioned the right of labor to organ

belong to all men, the right to or
ganize for the purpose of protect
ing and furthering its own inter-
ests.

Department and Phyllis Wheatley
