RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS

The committee heard commune
cations from a number of COM
panies, some of which figured in
the Los Angeles hearings, which
indicate that they are changing
employment policies in accordance
with the executive order which re-
affirms Federal policy that there
shall be ''full participation in The
defense program by all persons
regardless of race, creed, color OF
national origin"
The call to the lam was made
both directly to E. C. Dawson
its general secretary and treasur-
er, and by letter to the executive
council of the union, following an
all-day meeting of the Fair EN-
ployment Practice Committee in
Washington.
Mr. Dawson, whose offices are
in Washington, represented Har-
vey w. Brown, international pres
ident of the lam, who was pre-
vented by illness from appearing
personally before the committee.
The principal complaints and
charges against the committee
came from Los Angeles and
Seattle, in both of which cities

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(SNS)-
E. C. Dawson, general secretary
and treasurer of the international
Association of Machinists. A. r.
of L., Thursday spent two hours
before the Presidents committee ON
Fair Employment Practice, an
swering questions concerning COM
plants that Negroes and other
minority groups are denied the
opportunity to work in defense in
dustries because the lam refused
membership to any workers who
are not of the white race.
Dawson whose headquarters are
in Washington, represented Harvey
w. Brown, International president
Of the LAM, who was prevented by
illness from appearing before the
committee which was established
by executive order to receive COM
plants of discrimination in de.
Tense industries due to race, creed
color, or national origin.
REVIEW COMPLAINTS
Complaints against the union
were brought before the commit
tee, of which Marx Ethridge,
Louisville publisher, is chairman,
at public headings held recently in
Los Angeles and though investi-
cations in Seattle.
Dawson denied that there IL
anything in either the constitu-
ton Or ritual of the lam which
prevents employers from hiring
whomsoever they desire, although
he also said that "even the exec
utive council of the lam cannot
tell a local what members it shall
accept"
Because Dawson said he could
not bind the executive council of
the lam, the fair employment
practice committee decided to re-
quest the executive council of the
LAM to take cogniza,nce of alleged
cases of discrimination in the
Seattle and Los Angeles areas, and
to make declaration of policy to
all affiliated locals to bring them
in line with the national policy as
set forth in the Presidents exec.
utive order OF June IS.

THE WEAKEST LINK
Mr.. Coffee with keen perception has correctly
noted the weakest link in this nations effort to build
strong chain of defense against Htlers hordes
among the nations of this hemisphere.
That weak link is the failure of those shaping
this Good Neghbor" policy TO recognize that in
habtants of most of these nations with whom we
now seek mutual friendship predominanty Ne

strivings with the anti-discriminaton protests and

way of improved relationships with our neighbors

ton to the fact that wide majority of these peo-

STATESMEN GET RUN AROUND
Many South American statesmen arriving in
Washington special missions for their countries
are actually given the runaround at The hands Of
