"a more than it currently has.
The order under which the COM
mittee now operates was tailored to
permit it to treat with problems
arising in a wide area of employ
ment-from the training to the
placement of an individual and even
beyond to the question Of lay-off as
experience is proving. To be sure,
the jobs in question do relate to war
industries and government. FEPC,
in addition and in accordance with
the executive order, has made it's
services available to parties request
ing them even in the absence of
complaint.
Consider first, however, the pri-
mary task of the committee, that of
the receipt, investigation and ad-
justment of specific complaints Of
discrimination in employment. Dur
ing the calendar year 1914 the COM
mittee's regional offices received
1886 cases an average Of 1896 per
month, and closed, 3,712. It had a
backlog of 1881 cases at the begin
ming of 1914.
Cases satisfactorily adjusted
formed the largest single category
Of the total 3, ,712 cases closed. These
settlements were 1924 or $3.50
while three categories- dismissed
on merits, insufficient evidence, and
no jurisdiction formed 1870. Only
SEQ of the cases were withdrawn by
the complainants and 11% were
given "other" dispositions.
A quirk in the work of the FEPC
is that the public pays relatively
more attention to the few highly
publicized cases than they do to the
day-to-day work. Even selected

PRESIDENTS COMMITTEE ON FAIR EMPLOYMENT
PRACTICES NOW IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION

TEPl VEIIlNU JVb DVNE'
STILL HAS MAJOR Task
(This is the first of q series of four
articles dealing with the avork of
the Fair Employment Practice CON-
nittee and prepared By our Wash
ington Bureau
By ERNEST E. JOHNSON
WASHINGTON, May 19 (ANP)
TO give meaning to Executive
Order 9346-and it's predecessor
8802-the Presidents Committee
on Fair Employment practices, in
the nearly four years of it's exist
ence, has done a number of things,
namely: formulated and interpret
ed policies related to the elimina-
tion of discrimination in industry
and government; processed COM
plants through various methods
consulted with and assisted govern
ment agencies, employers and labor
unions; and finally, made medium
of effort to tell some of this story
to the American public.
Whereas the problem is an old
one, the machinery to deal with it
is relatively, ,new-perhaps original
since there is no record of any gov
ernmental agency ever having taken
upon itself the herculean job ridding
industry and government of the un-
wholesome practice of restraining
the entry Of minority group workers
into fields Of economic pursuit on
the basis of their merit.
It is questionable whether the
public-the Negro public especially
since it is there that chief concern
would be logically rest-has ever
had full comprehension, not alone of
the task, but the degree of accomp-
lishment there has been toward full
fillment of the task.
The FEPC was established as a
result of a threat, all other excuses
Notwithstanding. When A. Philip
Randolph, president of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car porters,
promised to lead an unprecedented
march of Negroes upon the nation s
capital, he meant it, and the order
he had asked for was issued. That
was June 25, 1911.
The following month President
Roosevelt appointed an original
committee Of six, named Mark
Ethridge of Louisville, it's chair
man.
When the committee held it's first
hearing, in Los Angeles in October,
1941, it had a staff of IA people. The
budget proposed for the 1946 fiscal
year allows for Id paid positions,
