He specifically accuses the regis

tween the ages OF 1925. who
have been automatically de-
ferred because Of their occupa-

der issued by War Mobilization
Director Byrnes 10 the selective

ing OF the President.
Commenting upon this action
OF Byrnes, a White House

whereas farm deferments are
comparatively top-heavy, only
between $4,000 and 10000 men
in the same age bracket are de-
ferred in industry and medi-
cine.
Byrnes cited in his order that
according 10 Selective Service
Director Hershey, unless agri-
cultural workers are made
available for draft, you must
call into service the occupa-
tionally deferred men in the
next age group Of 26 and Older,

'criminatory practices of iim-crow
auxiliary unions, The case was filed
originally by Joseph James, presi-
dent. the San Francisco branch
NAACP and other workers. and
argued by Attys. George r. Ander-

The court ruled that a labor
union must admit Negroes 10 full
membership or not try TO enforce

lon. written by Chief Justice Phil
S. Gibson. stated:
Has Obligations
An arbitrarily closed or par
TALLY closed union is incompatible
with q closed shop. Where a union
has, as in this case. Attained a
monopoly OF the supply of labor
by means OF closed shop agree
ments and other forms of collective
labor action. such a union occupies
a quaSi-public position similar 10
that of q public service business
and 1t has certain corresponding
obligations"
Justice Gibson ruled that the
discriminatory practices involved
In this case are contrary 10 the
public policy OF the United States
and this state" and added: me.
groes must be admitted to member
ship under the same terms and
conditions applicable TO non
Negroes unless the union and the
employer refrain from enforcing
