There nave b e n occasions
when undemocratic practices
have had to be met with courage
and resistance, and on these oc-
casions Rabbi Ransom has not
hesitated to denounce the injus-
tees involved. One such situation
arose few months ago when the
sWank Bahia Mar Yacht Club re-
fused it's facilities to owners of
yachts who are Jewish, despite
the fact that the land on which
the club is situated is municipal
ly owned. Rabbi Ransom appealed
to the American Legion, to the
Greater Fort Lauderdale Minis
terial Association, and to various
other organizations and then
made representations to the city
fathers demanding that this I'M
American practice be abandoned.
Within few weeks there was
change in policy.
A few months ago, on the oc-
casion of national brotherhood
week, leaders of education and of
all religious groups gathered at
Temple Emanuel and pledged
their cooperation in movement
to make brotherhood a reality.
Representing Catholicism was
Father John J. O'Looney, pastor
of St. Anthony's Catholic Church,
representing Professionalism was
Rev. John H. Hanger, pastor of
the Park T e mple Methodist
Church and one of the past presi-
dents of the Greater Fort Laud-
erdale Ministerial Association,
and representing Judaism was DR..
Marius Ransom, Rabbi of Temple
Emanuel. It was the first time
that all three denominations had
gathered together in Fort Laud-
erdale, and, even more signifi-
cant, it was the first time, posi-
bly,, in American Life that the
pastor of a Roman Catholic
Church had participated in a pro-
gram conducted in another house
of worship than the Roman Cath
Ollie.
Several months ago he was the
first Rabbi to speak at the local
Kiwanis Club, an organization in
whose membership no Jew is yet
numbered, and he was also the
first Rabbi to address the local
Rotary Club. He has been named
a member of the Speakers Blu
reau of the Fl. Lauderdale Com
munity Chest, and also of the
Red Cross.
A few months ago Rabbi Ran
son urged the American Legion
of Fit. Lauderdale to take a lead
ing part in the battle against in
tolerance, and responding to his
appeal, the Legion selected post
ers to be placed in. the buses
which teach the lessons of Amer
icanism.
A similar procedure was fol-
lowed in having the children of
the public schools begin to realize
the great challenge of American
brotherhood. Through the super

Independent kai|ers
Union in New York
Rejects Contract
BY the Assoeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Members
Of the Newspaper and Mail De-
liverers Union, Independent, have
voted to reject a proposed two
year contract with publishers OF
New York City's dozen major
daily newspapers.
The contract, drawn up with
the aid of Federal mediators, was
rejected by a vote of 1,241 to $50
yesterday, the union announced
The unions membership is about
1,700.
Joseph Simons, union president
said the rejection did not mean
a strike was threatened. He said
the union. which represents truck
drivers. would seek to renew ne
gotiations with the publishers.
Chief opposition to the proposed
agreement-which provided wage
increases-was reported to be
against an auxiliary arbitration
award relating to hiring practices
Maximum Protection Sought.
The arbitration award was in
tended to give the union the maxi
mum protection allowed under the
Taft-Hartley Act. The union had
sought to preserve hiring controls
set up before the law outlawed
the closed shop.
The proposed contract provided
a wage increase of $5 a week fol
the first year and 50 a week more
for the second year. The union
was given the option of applying
$3.50 week of the first increase
for establishment of pension
fund. The members rejected this
option in a separate vote, 907
to $40.
The eight other unions of news
paper craft workers have approved
the basic wage provisions in the
proposed deliverers' contract, anc
have signed two-year contracts
with the publishers. The employ.
ers are represented by the Pub.
fishers Association of New York
City.
Present wages Of the deliverer.
are $77.67 for a 40-hour week or

Hiring Practice Clause.
The hiring practice clause, al
which deliverer rank-and- file crit.
Iicism was directed, developed
from an arbitration agreement ap.
proved by union and employer
I representatives. It was under.
stood that the arbitrator's aware
was to be written into the flna
contract.
The award provided that each
publisher was to try to establish
as many full-time jobs as possibl,
IN his delivery department. I,
the union considered the number
was insufficient, it was to hav,
the right to seek redress from al
adjustment board. The boart
would consist of two union ane

The award also provided that
each publisher should set UP ar
