labor's editorial row.
"The Times, in reporting the event, gra-
ciousy accepted pat on the back for its lack
of discrimination, ''The New World, radical

edition..
But, The New World pointed out, lit was
different last year. On that occasion a longshore-
man, whose father was Chinese, was banned
from the contest after he had caught qualify
ing fish. The Times derby, he was told, was
open only to "Caucasians.'
At this point, The New World proudly
claimed that it exposed the shameful situa-
ton"
s'The New World" the editorial continued,
"does not expect The (Seattle) Times to thank
us for our part in the affair but we are immod-
est enough to stand up and take bow on our
own'
