UPwA Convention last week. II
was a fine sight. II was q sight
to confound the didecrats, XXX.
K'ers, and all Of the run Of the
mill Jim Growers.
Epitomizing the truly inter-
racial spirit of the UPWA, its
President Ralph Helstein, pro-
claiming in his opening address
"Our devotion and commitment
to the cause Of eliminating dis
elimination from the fabric Of our
society on the irrevelant basis Of
race, creed. or color grows out Of
our understanding of the economic
welfare OF our nation as well as
our belief In the cause Of human
decency."
Most significant feature Of the
UPwA Convention was the dra-
matte demonstration for equal
rights-not only on the convention
floor, but more convincingly in
the social life Of the convention.
Approximately 24o of the almost
600 delegates attending the UPWA
Convention May 20 thru May %
at the Nicollet Hotel were Negro.
Two powerfully worded resolutions
were passed dealing with discrim-
nation and civil rights. One set
up an anti-discrimination Depart
ment to replace the Anti-Dis-
elimination Committee. The other
resolution reaffirmed the unions
stand continuing their all out eff
fort for the passage Of civil rights
legislation and the elimination Of
discrimination on the job, in the
union and in the community.
The three top officials Of CLIO
were the guest speakers. Philip
Murray, president of CLIO, Allen 8.
Haywood, CLIO vice-President. and
Director Of Organization and Jack
Knoll, Director of PAC all en-
phasized the role CLIO takes in
the fight for better living condi-
tons for all people. The three
speakers stressed the point of
more political action on the part
of the trade union movement and
advocated the need Of unity on q
political level with organized
labor, especially with the AT Of l.
The only controversial issue 30

over n resolution pledging
UPWA to support CLIO unions

wing expelled unions. After
many heated discussions as to
whether or not this was a raid

ARISTOTLE ON MIDDLE CLASS

The best political community is
formed by citizens Of the middle
class. Those States are likely to
be well administrated in which
the middle class is large, and
larger if possible, than both the
other classes, or at any rate than
either singly; for the addition of
the middle class turns the scale
and prevents either the extremes
from being dominant.--Aristotle

unfair to many newspapers.
They appeared before the Sem
ate Post Once Committee, which
is considering a House passed bill
to raise second-class rates by SIS
million annually. The Post ONCE
Department says the increase is
needed to cut down the depart
ment's deficit.
Newspapers make up about half
of the second -clasS matter. Rate
increases in the House bill vary
according to the zones of distri-
