unions can destroy economic in
justice and beat down barriers OF

Bishop She'll said in his speech
which delighted the delegates.
Similarly, labor unions can help
eradicate the cancer OF anti
Semitism; a cancer which gnaws at
the -xery vitals of American life.
We have asked the Negro and
the Jews TO fight and die for de-
mocracy: il would be the basest
cyniciSm to refuse 10 share with
them that democracy"
So thorough was Bishop Shells
definition Of labor's current aims
and responsibilities that Phillip
Murray. president. began his own
keynote address with a suggestion
that the CIO publish the bishops
speech in pamphlet form and dis
tribute il throughout the nation.
Murray. in his address, stated
that the end of race discrimina-

The successful outcome OF this
present war must eliminate for all
