REVIEW COMPLAINTS

Complaints against the unlon

Louisville publisher, is chairman,
at public hearings held recently in
Los Angeles and though inVestl-

Dawson denied that there S
anything in either the constitu-

prevents employers from hiring
whomsoever they desire, although
he also said that "even the exec

tell local what members it shall
accept"
Because Dawson said ne 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 cognizance of alleged
cases Of discrimination in the
Seattle and Los Angeles areas, and
to make a declaration of policy TO
