"BAN COMMUNISM! WELCOME NEGRO!" CRY CATHOLICS, NEW YORK
"Ban the Communist and Welcome the Negro" is the title of the leading editorial in the Interracial Review of New York. George K. Hunton, editor, released Tuesday. The editorial closes with the ringing declaration: "Already organized labor has suffered at the hands of Communist agitators within its ranks. They have been furtively active in fostering antagonism, unrest and unsettlement within the union, in fomenting needless and unauthorized strikes and provoking violence. For its own sake, organized labor throughout America must follow the example of the United Mine Workers of America: ban Communism and welcome the Negro!"
