Hint Pressure Brought To
Halt EEP Hearing In B ham
Opposition To
Fair Break For
Negroes Seen

BIRMINGHAM lamp - The
postponement of the planned hear
ings on discriminatory practices In
industry to be held by the Prest-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practices has started a line
of questioning here that only the
committee itself can answer.
Originally set for May 1925. the
hearings are now postponed to
June 1920. for reasons as yet
unknown.
It has been believed that pres
sure has been brought to bear on
the committee with reference to
these hearings, which in the first
place were not at all popular with
white southerners. In connection
with this, the white dailies have
been printing editorials demanding
that there be more attention paio
to the discriminatory practice
against southern manufacturers
pointing out that this should bt
taken care of before anything else
is done.
There is a strong belief that
there will be considerable uppoSi-
ton to the introduction Of any
plans for the hearing, other than
those already afoot. The unpopu-
larity of the proposed hearings
grows out of the opposition gener-
ally to Negroes obtaining a fail
break in the southern manufacture
ing districts.
Authorities in this area are wait
ing further word from Washington
and despite the strong organized
effort to keep the hearing from
being held, there is hope the COM
mittee will go through with Its
plans and turn the light on prac-
tees prevalent In this section. just
as they have done in other areas
with excellent results.

rate. Such was the case during

Of young men are being called

But there are some. unfortunate
