FEPC Fight Is
Critical, N N C
Urges CIO Aid
In the last critical stages of the
fight for the FEPC, the National
Negro Congress this week wired
Sidney Hillman, chairman of the
CIO Political Action Committee,
urging that the PAC continue its
fight for the appropriation.
“Last ditch fight for FEPC."
the wire said, “demands contin
ued all-out labor pressure to
commit Senators to attendance
and favorable vote on appropria
tion. Absenteeism inexcusable.
We urge PAC continue splendid
fight already waged by CIO”
The wire was signed by Miss
Thelina M Dale, acting secretary
of the Congress. In the mean
while, the National Office of ihe
NNC announced its intensified
efforts in key states to secure
unconditional commitments from
Senators for favorable votes.

Urban League To
Fight Race Bias
In Labor Groups
Stnngont sanctions against labor
organizations that discriminate
against Negro and other minorities
wore a>ked last week by the Nat- ,
mnai Urban League in testimony
before the House Labor Committee
.n hearing! on the Scanlon-Daw
son-LaFoliette identical bills for a
permanent FEPC.
In urging support of the proposed
bill, which would make it unlawful
for both management and unions
to discriminate against any worker
on the basis of color, creed, race,
national origin or ancestry, Reginald
A. Johnson, field secretary of the
National Urban League, declared
that the sanctions provided in the
proposed bill are inadequate.
“Today tens of thousands of Ne
gro workers are employed in plants
where they are confined to tem
porary work permits and auxiliary
union status. Such types of labor 1
un on practices should not have the
protection of government, and or
ganizations pursuing such member
ship policies should be denied -the I
services of the National Labor Re
lations Board and the National
Mediation Board”
In support of his plea. Mr. John
son read into the record a list of
23 unions. AFL and independent, !
which bar Negro and other minori
ties from full membership.
Insurance Rate
Is Doubled For
Negro Workers
PROVIDENCE. R. I. Negro
members of the jim crow auxil
iary of the Boilermakers union
pay twice as much for insurance
as the white members of the reg
ular locals, it was testified here
June 14 by William Buckley,
international vice president of
the union.
Buckley's testimony came at
the close of a four-week hearing
.ip Superior court before Judge
Patrick P. Gurran, on a suit to
secure a permanent injunction
against auxiliary unions in this
state. Negro workers at the
Walsh-Keiser shipyards here
b.ought the suit after their bal
lots were thrown out in a union
election last December. In Jan
uary they secured a temporary
injunction issued by Judge Alex
ander Chur—hill. The colored
workers an? represented by
Thurgood Marshall, NAACP
Special Counsel, and Joseph Le-
Count of this city. Counsel for
both sides will file briefs with
the court June 21 and at that
time will decide whether closing
arguments will be made.
