NEW YORK—(ANP)—A Philip
Randolph, international presi¬
dent of Sleeping Car Porters
and vice president of AFL-CIO,
won nation-wide support this
week from both liberal whites
and Negroes, as a result of his
demand that Jim Crow Unions
which bar Negroes from mem-
bership, should be ousted from
the ranks or organized labor.
At last week's A PL-CIO an¬

resolutions, which, if passed,
would expel two railway union
that exclude Negro workers
and order dissolution of Jim
