We abandoned when We decided
this was a great American princi-

"And the principle-the dan

other measures of interest to the
union. With the Minnesota dele
cation was William o. Heron, 524
Carroll Ave, St. Paul, member of
the United Steel Workers, CLIO,
and vice president of International
Harvester Local No. 2742, of St.
Paul. The Wisconsin delegation
also was scheduled to have a Negro
member present, but he was unable
to make the trip.
No Reservation Available
When the Minnesota group ar
rived at the Sheraton Hotel where
it had made advance reservations,
the desk clerk said he knew moth
ing about a reservation for Her
ron. Sam Z. Davis, business man
ager of the state CIO newspaper,
Minnesota Labor, offered to give
Heron his room, but the clerk said
he couldn't allow such a change to
be made without the approval of the
manager, who as is usually the case
when such incidents occur, was
"out."
The Minnesotans, disguised with
the flimsy attempt to cover up the
discrimination, left the Sheraton
and went to the Ambassador where
the Wisconsin delegation was
scheduled to stay.
The Ambassador management
came out fatty and stated Negro
would not be permitted to stay at
the hotel. Mel Heinritz, secretary
to the Wisconsin State CLIO, had
reserved a space in the room held
for him for the Negro delegate
from his state who had been unable
to come. Mel told the hotel man.
ager Heron was going to stay in
his room, and went ahead and
registered for the Minnesota man.
When the management insisted on
refusing to accept Heron, Helm
ritz put the CIO wheels into action.
Union Meeting Called
He called the union steward of
the Ambassador hotel service en-
ployes, and explained the situation
to him. The steward got all of the
employees, Negro and white to-
gether, and passed the information
on to them. The employees decided
that if Heron was not allowed to
stay in the hotel, they would not
continue to supply the vital and
important services that are the
ifeblood of all big hotels.
