Back in the 1950s, the Daily Worker was viewed with alarm and distrust as the official organ of the U.S. Communist Party. Then, as circulation declined along with party membership, the paper dropped "Daily" from its title in 1958 and became a weekly. Three years later, it began appearing twice a week. Last week, after a partially successful fund-raising campaign, it once again turned into a daily with a new title, Daily World...
...Kill Whitey? Or (smiling whitely) merely destruction of the social order? And what then? Black points out with sour pleasure that his "revolution" has 22 million members and that there are few recruiting or dropout problems. White says yes, but so long as blackness and separatism are requirements, the membership can do no more than cause disruption, because it can never grow large enough to complete a revolution ...

The key issue was the wage package; noneconomic issues, such as work rules or automation, were subsidiary. The unions, whose members were making from $134 to $174 a week, demanded a $36 weekly wage in crease over a 36-month contract. The settlement provides for a $33-a-week wage increase over a 341-month contract. The unions that held out won a slightly better pact than the Teamsters, who had settled for $30 a week last March. But the extra...
