Attacks Separate
But Equal Rule In
US Caste System

Washington OPA) = Attacking
the legal and social basis of segre-
CATION of white and Negro citizens
in this country, the Justice Dept,
in a brief filed with the Supreme
Court this week, took definite
stand against separate but equal
facilities in schools, restaurants,
theaters and other public places.
The case on which the Justice
Dept took its stand involved seq
regation on railroad dining cars.
Elmer w. Henderson, a Negro,
charges that he was refused meal
on a Southern Railway train = in
1912. One of the defendents in the
case is itself an agency of the fed
eral government-the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which per-
mits segregation in southern inter
state dining cars.
Pointing out that the Henderson
case doesn't turn on the separate
but equal" argument, Justice at
torneys said that if the court finds
need to refer to the doctrine the
whole Interpretation of the Consti-
tuition (Which was established 30
years ago in a post-Civil War
case) "should now be reexamined
and overruled." The district court
in Maryland had previously ruled
against Henderson on grounds that
segregation is legal if equal
facilities are provided.
Claiming that Constitutional
guarantees of real equality are
violated by providing separate
physical laciiities, the government
brief, filed by Solicitor General
Philip B. Perlman and backed by
Attorney General j. Howard Nc
Grath asserted:
"The curtain of partition which
fences Negroes off from all other
diners exposes, naked and un-
adorned, the caste system which
segregation manifests and fosters.
A Negro can obtain service only
by accepting or appearing to ae-
cept, under the very eyes of his
fellow passengers, white and color
ed. the caste status which the seq
regation signifies and is intended
to ciUpifv

40 Coast Oil Workers Reinsfofed;
Union Asks Return Of ESQ More

Denver (LPA)-At least 40 of
the 300-odd members Of the Oil
Workers Int1 Union fired for their
part in last years strike in Cali
fornia, should be reinstated, a
Natl Labor Relations Board trial
examiner recommended, and the
decision may pave the way for re-
instatement Of the rest.
The union has wired President
Truman asking him, to take steps
to see that hearings are held i'm
mediately on the cases Of the re-
naming $50.
The companies originally fired
the men for alleged violence during
the strike. The discharged en-
ployes then countered by bringing
charges of unfair labor practice
against the companies.
The 40 reinstated We're in a
group Of So employees of Standard
Oil. Robert n. Denham, NLRB gen
eral counsel who has sole authority
under the Taft-Hartley act to
bring complaints against employ
ers, allowed hearings on only 56
cases involving a single company,
claiming that the trial examiners
ruling would set a pattern for the
rest.
The union objected strongly to
Denham's stand, maintaining ques-
tions Of fact, not law, were involv-
ed and that there was no pattern
to be set. Last summer the unions
executive board telegraphed Pres
ident Truman asking that Denham
himself be fired.
The union insisted that Denham
working with Washington lobbyist
Gerard Reilly, had made a deaI
with the oil companies to delay
hearings.

Democrats To Press
FEPC Bill In January

Washington (LPA) - The Adj
ministration is now committed to
take firm and prompt action to
push a fair employment practice
dill thru Congress when it recon-
venes in January.
Sen. Scott Lucas Cd, ILL.,, the
majority leader, emerged from a
White House conference Oct. 8,
and confirmed the decision to pro-
ceed with the controversial FEPC
bill in the opening days Of the new
session.
Civil rights advocates several
weeks ago met with Lucas and
Chairman Ebert Thomas Cd,
Utah) Of the Senate Labor Com
mittee, to urge that the inevitable
flibuster be precipitated-and lick
ed-in January.
These same civil rights leaders
including labor offcials-predict
that the Administrations forth
right action will put the Republi-
can leadership, committed by the
COPS election platform to fair
job laws, on the spot.
Protested Sen. Kenneth Wherry
Or, Nebr.), "They hope it will fail,
and they hope that they can go to
the country in 1850 and claim it
was the Republicans who blocked
it. We will not sit here and let
them get away with that"

Election Will
Settle IAM-IBT
Boeing Dispute

Seattle OPA)-Within 30 days
some 10000 employees of the Boe-
ing Airplane Co. will vote their
preference for the Int'l Associa-
ton of Machinists, Lodge No. ISL,
or the Int1 Brotherhood of Teams
ters, Local 451.
The election was ordered by the
Natl Labor Relations Board after
a representational dispute which
dates back to the Machinists'
strike of 1913. At the same time
three small groups within the sew
eral Boeing plants here will choose
between the Machinists and other
unions.
The Machinists represented all
Boeing's production and mainten-
ance employees in the state of
Washington from 1886 until April
%, 1948. The Machinists' local
then went out in a strike which a
year later was ruled a violation OF
the IAM's Boeing contract by the
US Court Of Appeals in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
AS a result, the court said, the
Machinists had forfeited their
right to act as bargaining agent
for Boeing workers. Meanwhile
the Teamsters were moving into
the situation.
In the three minor elections
Boeing's staff nurses will choose
between the lam and the Wash
ington State Nurses Assn, Chem
ical testers will pick the lam OF
the Seattle Professional Engineer
ing Employees, and electrical main
tenance workers will declare foi
the lam or the Int'l Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers-AFL.
