IN PHILIPPINES

VICTORY IN PHILIPPINES
The victory of Commodore
Dewey at the Philippine Islands is
as great as it was unexpected, in
volving the destruction of the
Spanish navy in the Pacific Ocean,
of nine vessels with his six fight
ing ships. It's decisiveness is the
wonder and talk of every nation of
Europe. The Spanish fought
bravely but We're outgeneraIed.
The result of that two hours of
Sunday work was to give us the
practical possession of the Philip
pine Islands - the most valuable
remaining possession of Spain
aside from the West Indian Islands
and to give present safety to
American commerce on the Pa
cific. The American nation has
attained new prowess and dignity
among the Great Powers of the
earth.

Chicago-The sort of pressure
CLIO and the AFL might bring to
bear against racial and religious
discrimination has been demon
Strated in scores of incidents. In
hotels, housing projects, restaur-
ants, factories and various other
places, the organized trade union
movement has been able to
change, at least momentariIy, the
usual practice Of discrimination.
The big question is what can be
done to inspire or persuade the
CLIO and the AL to undertake
a more systematic and constantly
active fight against discrimina-
ton. An Indication of the fact
that the labor movement is par
tlcularly well organized to carry
this fight, if it had a mind to do
SO, has just come to public atten-
ton.
Willard S. Townsend, president
OF the CLIO United Transport
Service Employees union, and one
OF the fair-haired boys of the top
CLIO command, took time out from
political campaigning and went to
Canada for few days relaxation
According to Bill, he wanted to
relax so that in the final rounds of
the presidential campaign next
week, ne could come out fresh as
daisy and punching hard for
Truman.
The obviously Negro Town
sends went across the border to
Canada and presented themselves
at the exclusive, and swank Cha
teau Frontenac in Quebec. They
had taken the necessary precau-
ton of obtaining a confirmation
OF their reservations. Though they
were not turned away, they were
not given the Accommodations thew
had been assured, but instead
were shunted away in a small
noisy room apparently reserved
by the chateau for the use of its
help.
Townsend squawked but to no
avail. No other Accommodations
were available for him Now
there is one thing Townsend has
never lacked and that is self
esteem, and instead Of merely
making an indignant protest and
accepting what was offered, he
called on the international labor
movement to put pressure on the
chateau management.
A telephone call was made to
CLIO headquarters in Washington
