SEAFARERS TO
FACE PRODE BY
FEPC, OCT. 10
WASHINGTON, DC. «NNPA)
In what is expected to be another
of its five or six sensational cases,
the FEPC will hold hearings next
week on charges and complaints of
discrimination against the Seafar
eis’ International Union, collective
bargaining representative for work
ers in the maritime and allied mari
time trades. The organization has
no connection with the CIO Nation
al Mantime Union.
Hearings will be held in New
York City on Oct 10. Formal notice
was sent the SIU last week.
Contrary To Order
The charges allege that the un
ions employment practices are con
trary to Executive Orders RBO2 and
3346 They involve complaints of
discrimination against qualified Ne
gioes in the placement of seamen,
oilers, ro,>ks. bakers, firemen and
water tenders, messmen, ship car
penters, galley men. stewards and
nther classes of Merchant seamen.
»n the basis of race.
It is also charged that policies and
practices of the union have resulted
in discrimination against qualified
wo kers who have been refused
placement in all of the same cate
gories because of their race.
The union is further charged of
forcing the dismissal of white and
Negro workers through adherence
to a policy of its referral and place
ment activities which appears to be
contrary to the non-discrimination
policy of the government.
The Seafarers’ union, earlier this
vear. filed a complaint against the
FEPC before the Smith Committee
to investigate the authority of Ex
ecutive Agencies.
Win Pay Raise
Of $25 A Month
For Messmen
TUCSON. Ariz. —< WDI.> The
campaign to secure extia pay for
;>7 Negro soldiers stationed at Tuc
son. Arizona, who went on strike
September 11. 1944, to secure pay <
which they claimed for working in
the aviation cadet mess-hall, reached
a successful conclusion when the
Army awarded all Negro messmen
there $25 per month in extra pay
The men, however, must now work
84 hours a week, instead of the 56
hours they formerly worked.
Rev. Aron S. Gilmartin, national
chairman of the Workers Defense
League, which supported the origi
nal demands of the strikers, urged
the commandant of the Tuscon Base
I to ‘ lower the fantastic work sched
ule that these soldiers now have.”

Claim Ross’ ‘Wings
Clipped’ By FEPC
By HAKKY McALFIN
WASHINGTON, D.C. (NNPA)
Malcolm Ross, chairman of the Fair
Employment Practice Committee
has had “his wings clipped” accord
ing to information leaking from the
meeting of the F’EP committee held
last week in New York City for the
purpose of working out a reorgani
zation of FEPC staff functions.
Ross has enjoyed almost absolute
freedom from criticism in the Negro
press because of fear that such criti
cism might hurt the FEPC, which
has innumerable ill-wishers in Con
gressional and business circles. In
ternal frictions and bickering, which
aie known to have existed, are re
garded as indication that he is not
a good administrator.
Riding The Wave
Riding on the wave of popularity
which the agency enjoys among Ne
groes, and lulled by the absence of
criticism, Ross has assumed the
stature of an expert on Negro af
fairs He is reported to have reached
the assumption that he could dis
pense with the advice and counsel
of the exceptionally qualified Negro
mernbeis of his staff, and to have
disregarded the organizational chart
by taking the director of field op
erations. Will Maslow, also white,
into his confidence as adviser.
The committee is reported to have
been critical of this combination re
cently when it advised Ross at a
previous meeting to abandon his
plan to submit a series of amend
ments to the Chavez bill in the Sen
ate for a Permanent FEPC while
hearings were being held The
amendments had been worked out
bv Ross and Maslow without any
knowledge of them on the part of
other staff rm mbers.
The committee told Ross to clear
all amendments and everything else
concerning a pern nent FEI’C
through Hie National Council for a
Permanent FFPC with an office in
Washington Roth Ross and Maslow
are reported to have been lukewarm
to the FEPC bills pending in Con
gress. which provide for enforce
