FEPC Sees Progress
By Capital Transit in
Solving Race Question

The Presidents Fair Employment
Practice Committee is satisfied that
progress" is being made by the
Capital Transit Co. in its efforts to
comply with an executive order ban
ming discrimination in employment
of colored people.
This was formally announced yes
terday by Msgr. Francis j. Haas,
chairman of the FEPC, as he read a
prepared statement on the matter
at a press conference in the pres
ence of the entire committee.
The company had been called on
by the FEPC to hire colored help on
buses and streetcars. Previous plans
to call public hearings on the issue
had been postponed, but the COM
mittee and the company continued
an interchange on the questions at
issue.
Committee Satisfied.
Steps are being taken by the
company which satisfy the commit
tee that progress is being made to-
ward compliance with the terms of
the executive order" Father Haas
announced.
Both the company and union
have stated they are not opposed to
hiring and upgrading of Negroes.
THE committee does not feel that
it would serve any useful purpose
at present to disclose the nature of
these preliminary steps,"
The committee also is making ef-
forts to bring about immediate re-
turn to work of Negroes in West
Coast Shipyards who had been dis
charged for refusal to pay dues to.
an auxiliary. local of the Boiler
makers Union, it was explained.
The committee is attempting to
have the workers brought back to 3
their jobs during the period required
to adjust the differences that have
arisen. Management has main
tained that the men were dis
charged only because they failed to
pay their dues and were, therefore,
no longer in good standing with
the union, with which the shipyards
maintain closed-shop relations.
Union Sanctions Dismissals.
The union has called the dis
mlssalS justified, the committee re-
ported, inasmuch as the workers
did not fulfill their obligations to
the auxiliary. The colored workers
according to the committee. have
expressed their willingness to paw
dues providing they are accepted
into full membership of the union.
THE primary need," the commit
tee reported, sis to put these work.
ers back on their jobs Immediately.
A thorough examination of the case
can then be made in order to de-
ternline whether a violation has oc-
Cured"
Father Haas announced that
railroad hearing involving alleged
discrimination in employment prac-
tlces would be held September 15-
l8, inclusive. He said the original
hearings had been extended an addi-
tional day.
