number" of other candidates for
such positions have been asked to

atory to employment and training.

action by the company represents

iustment of complaints filed recent

all Job applicants on the basis of
qualifications and without regard
to race, creed, color on national
origin"
: Ross called the company's action
"a noteworthy demonstration of
that assurance"

Recently there have been an
increasing number Of incidents,
particularly involving Negro ser
vicemen, where bus drivers, local
policemen and others, particularly
in southern states, have assaulted
servicemen and local and state au-
thorities have refused to take ac-
tion," Attorney Fhrlich pointed out.
"The actment of this bill, S 1927,
into law will give all our soldiers
and the sailors needed protection
against such treatment"
A b-commiitee of the house

bill favorably on May II, but the

Labor Committee
Reports FEPC
Bill In House
BY HARRY McALPIN

WASHINGTON, D. C-(NNPA)
The House labor Committee,
through its chairman, Rep. Mary
T. Norton ID. of n. j., has am
nounced a favorable report of the
Scanlon bill for a permanent
FBPC without amendments.
The bill, as reported, carries pro-
visions making it possible for the
FEPC to seek enforcement of its
directives in the federal courts. &c
also includes provisions outlawing
determinations by labor unions, a
part of the bill objected to by the
American Federation of Labor.
APPLIES TO UNION
Any employer having in his en-
ploy more than persons who is
Cd engaged in Interstate or foreign
commerce; CD under contract with
the United States Or any agency
. thereof or CD performing work,
under subcontract or otherwise,
called for by a contract to which
the United States or any agency
thereof is a party, is subject to the
Act. 1t applies likewise to any Ia
Dor union which has or more
members in the employe of one
or more employers covered.
The Scanlon bill (H. r. 1885,
faVorably reported by the commit
tee is identical with those intro
duced by Reps William l.. Dawson
and Charles LaFollette
The next move is for the Rules
Committee of the House to give
the bill the right of way in the
House. Observers here believe such
action is unlikely, and that petit
ton of 2I8 Congressman will be
necessary to get the measure on
the floor. There is little likelihood
that this will happen this session
of Congress. The bill, however,
will be reintroduced early in the
18th Congress, end action is ex-
pected early during the session.
ISSUE STATEMENT
A. Philip Randolph and Knight
Chalmers, co-chairmen Of the Nat
ional Council for a Permanent
FEPC, in a statement following
favorable report OF the bill, said:
Recommendation of the bill for
a permanent FEPC by the House
Labor Committee soon after the
election campaign is reason for
confidence in campaign pledges.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic leadership promised enact-
ment of the bill after the election,
and both Democrats and Republi-
cans supported the bill in commit
tee. We look forward TO early en-
actment of this fundamental mea-
sure for the experimentation of
basic American rights on the same
broad, bi-partican basis as in the
House Labor Committee"

FEPC Reaches
Decision After
Chicago Meeting

CHICAGO - (ANP) - Public
hearings will be held on the three
vear-old Capital Transit case
wherein Negroes have been refused
operating jobs, it was learned mere
FRIDAY on eve the Of an FEPC
meeting to be held in Chicago.
Chairman Malcolm Ross an
nounced that a hearing was neces-
sary to clear up the matter when
has been hanging fire under the
yerv noses Of the FEPC in wash
ington. The added experience oil
dealing with similar situations IN
very noses of the FFPCC123456 o
Chicago, Los Angeles, San FRANCIS
CO. Philadelphia and other cities
should prove to be of value, he de-
clared.
The promise has been made that
various Washington civic organzia-
tons will cooperate in keeping
down racial feeling and aiding the
investigation.
1t was pointed out that the Capt.
tai Transit currently has 535 few
er workers than a year ago but
still refuses to hire Negroes as OPP.
orators. 1t is believed that should
this policy be changed, the only
opposition will come from some
recalcitrant southern white motor
men and conductors.
1t is not felt that public hear
ing will have any bearing on the
permanent FEPC bills now before
congress since by new supporters
of the committee already know
who their friends are in congress.
