Ethridge spoke as chairman of
the Fair Employment Practice
Committee which was named by
President Roosevelt some months
ago to receive and investigate
complaints of discrimination"
against potential defense workers
because of thei race, creed, color,
Or national origin.
"Our committee has the means
to bring recalcitrant manufacture
ers into line and undoubtedly
means will be found to bring
recalcitrant unions into line" he
warned. ~
"But we do not want to/db that"
he added. 1--WE want -yeuT full sup
port and your full IaScPfnce of
the national policy."S IL
After recalling the ma1k efforts
made to integrate rn4Aorik lgroups
into the defense preErami flimax-
ed by an executive orderI by the
President on June Is, /Ythridge
continued: ~
Unfortunately, there lsfe still
many unions, and manE Ilocals OF
unions not all of them ankaged di-
rectly in the defense eftoft, which
bar their fellowmen bkchuse of
color. I would not be frank at all
with you if I did not say ttht most
of them are yours" VI
Citing examples, Ethridge, who
as general manager of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, deals with
70 ''r!ons pointed cut:
I'VE have a notorious case in
which an employer subscribed in
effect to Hitler's theory that Ne
groeS are best fitted for slavery, or
at the very best, for domestic work,
but offsetting that, we have a
notorious case in which a union,
by hypocrisy and trickery, depriv-
ed Negroes who were already work.
ing of their right to employment"
On the eve of the first hearing
of the committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice, to open Monday
October 20) in the Embassy
Auditorium, Los Angeles, Ethridge
told the unionists that discrimina-
ton against workers because of
their race, creed, color or national
origin, is "a game that this ccun-
try cannot afford to play in the
light of all it has stood for and
challenged; it is certainly a game
that the union of the United States
cannot afford to play unless they
want to invite the destruction
which has come to their fellow
unionists in Germany and Italy"
Ethridge will preside over the
Los Angeles hearing which will be
attended by the entire member
ship Of the Fair Practice Commit
tee, with William Green, president
Of the American Federation of
