Brief Was Filed
Against Railway
Mail Association

NEW YORK. N. "a brief ami
Gus curiae against the Railway Mail
Association has been filed with the
Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court of the state of New York by
the NAAC.P, in an effort to
bring the Railway Mail Association
under the provisions Of the Civil
Rights law.
The Railway Mail Association was
sued in the Supreme Court OF AL
bany county by the State Indus
trial Commissioner and the Attor-
ney General on the ground that as
a labor organization it violated the
Civil Rights law by excluding Ne
groes from membership.
The association won its case when
Justice Murray ruled that in his
opinion il was not labor union
and therefore not subject TO the
Civil Rights law.
The case is being appealed TO a
higher court and the NA.A.C.P.
brief shows that the past history Of
the Railway Mail Association is
conclusive proof that the associa-
ton has Away considered itself a
labor organization and has acted as
a labor organization. The NAA.C.P,
attorneys also Urged that the Civil
Rights law is constitutional and
that it applies TO the Railway Mail
Association.
